Hey, BCF...welcome back! You can relax and just watch this trial!
http://www.thejuryexpert.com/2012/0...llowing-jurors-to-ask-questions-of-witnesses/
Most states leave it up to the individual judges discretion to allow jurors to ask questions of witnesses in civil trials, either through case law, statute, or with no specific rule mandating or prohibiting such a practice. As of July 1, Illinois becomes the most recent state to specifically allow juror questions2. According to the National Center for State Courts State of the State Courts survey3, several states, such as Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, and Wyoming, mandate that jurors be allowed to ask questions during civil trials. A number of states, including Georgia, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Nebraska, outright prohibit jurors from asking questions of witnesses at trial4.I think I heard it's because they don't have certain records of communications between AS and Hemy, and because he maintains that he acted alone. ? Now is a heck of a time to be figuring this out. As I think I said before, I seriously have my doubts about them being able to convict her, altho I'm not really up on all the evidence against her. I think she's super unlikable, and might very well be guilty, but convicting her (as well as convicting GZ) might not be possible without good solid evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
I hope this is not another one that will walk away. I need to still read a lot more.
