Agree. Her chances of finding a resonable person to vote her way, were12 times higher, had she chosen a jury trial. She clearly had terrible counsel through this ordeal, for him to support forgoing a jury. Huge mistake. There are only 2 possible outcomes when you forgo a jury. With a jury, there are 3; 2 of which benefit the defendant.Only if there is a jury: which there wasn'tNo you wouldn't have and couldn't have.he's wrong
If I was on that jury I would have voted not guilty
Of course I could have
I can vote any way I want to on a jury
That was her first mistake then
There's no way a jury would have come to a guilty verdict because there are at least a few people out there smart enough to know that telling a person to jump off a bridge doesn't equal manslaughter
She and her defense knew that a jury trial would leave them wide open to sympathy for the young man and hate for her when they read the texts she had sent and told the young man to be sure to delete.
They got their wish, the case was decided strictly on merit and the judge had harsh words for her. I hope and pray those harsh words would carry over to his sentence. Serious jail time and a long probation. She decided to take a life and become convicted felon.
