Jessica Chambers jury says Not Guilty, but 7 say Guilty on Poll. Chaos in the courtroom

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.

Why didn't they more heavily pursue the eric/derek guy? Isn't he a dude who ran with tellis?

Apparently so.

I guess it's up to Louisiana now. Hope you have better prosecutors than we do.

Are you shitting me? WTF, this is the talent pool of jurors in MS. Even if it is not unanimous, the majority vote was guilty, why would they walk out and say Not Guilty. You would think if you are going to F it up, at least pick the majority vote.

I suppose him changing his story a hundred times had no bearing on anything? Those prosecutors must be world beaters

Ive never seen anything like this.

They pulled the jury from McComb/Pike County because of the local coverage in Panola County.

One juror was thrown off because he tweeted about it.
Now the rest of them apparently have no clue how this works.

Judge has to declare a mistrial IMO. The guy's life is on the line and these idiots don't know what the word majority or unanimous means!

Oh shite, it about to go live!

Link???

NOT GUILTY YOU SAY?

I have not followed this case at all. Is there overwhelming evidence?

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