i think they’ll convict on something less than first degree attempted murder. that did seem like a stretch

Agree with this. But let's say they find him guilty on lesser charge(s), does anyone know how many years he could face?

I disagree. First degree only requires premeditation—proved by collaborating with his daughter to sneak in and abduct her and the suicide note

Not saying he didn’t do anything wrong but I think she embellished a lot of the story.

He wrote his kids a letter telling them mom and dad would watch them from heaven. He had his 14 year old daughter open a window at 1am so he could get into the house. He then instructed a 14 year old to drive at 2am to his house with another child in the car

What about that isn’t premeditated? What about that suggests to you that he didn’t intend to kill her?

Look, I think she definitely overplayed, but there’s no doubt in my mind that he was planning to kill her that weekend.

He even cut his neck as cops arrived because he knew he was fricked

I think the reason it is taking this long, is honestly because they have 11 counts to go through and vote on. It takes time to vote for Foreman, cover evidence, vote, etc. Each count must be decided independent of the others.
If 10 agree on sexual battery and 2 don’t, they must figure that out, not just say….well, we got him on the bigger stuff so let’s let this one go…

judge is back

Starting back up. Judge just sat down

Let’s frickin go

Not good for him that it’s early IMO

Verdict is in….see ya Me Summers

He gone.

Guilty on all counts
