Gamers love to froth and foam on message boards but in real life? C'mon. I personally think people are overplaying the chance of a riot in general but the chances of riots at EVO have to be near 0. | ||

I don't, however, think a bunch of semi-intelligent nerds at a gaming convention will be partaking. They just sent the gun back to the jury room, however, not giving them the ammunition lol. Your Honor, we need a replacement juror ... | ||

I have only very loosely followed this case (by that I mean browsing the TL thread once a fortnight), what is the most likely outcome do we think? Innocent, guilty or will the jury be unable to come to a decision? evidence should be not guilty but the prosecution was aiming for them to make heart felt choices so tbh hard to tell. Edit: So, I guess they'll try to tell people not to riot regardless of the outcome. They must be expecting something although it'll likely just saying it as a heads up. | ||

Hmm well I hope the jury is good enough not to let personal emotions interfere with their verdict, a man's life depends on it, or most of it anyway. | ||

if so, that does not bode well for defense. jury is going to want to get done with it and go home for the weekend. they are not going to want to be sequestered over the weekend. juries tend to be biased against defendants ("why would the state go after them if they arent guilty"). generally speaking, defense want longer deliberations (more time to create reasonable doubt) and prosecutor wants shorter deliberations (clear cut case). not that this will matter much in this case specifically, but those are general trends. | ||
