I have not followed this case at all. Is there overwhelming evidence?
I followed it closely with a class.
I would have a hard time voting 100% guilty. I think he's 90% guilty but there is enough doubt that by the law I could not vote guilty and sentence a man to die.
Without the first responders saying she said Eric or Derek did this and did not know the last name, I'd be closer, but not 100%.
Here is the verdict being read and the aftermath

That judge is a lot better man that I would have been in that situation.

Odd IMO that the statement was allowed in given the physical even mental complications that the victim was suffering at the time.

Isn't there a separate sentencing phase from the guilt phase? Meaning that finding him guilty doesn't necessarily mean you'd have to vote for death.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why did they read the verdict as "not guilty" but then declare a mistrial?
Why was it recorded as "not guilty" if it wasn't?
Did the jury not know what it takes to determine a verdict?
This doesn't inspire much confidence in a jury trial. I've always said that I'm going for a bench trial if I'm ever charged.
