Aaron Hernandez of NE Patriots - Charged with Murder

[HairOfTheDog]

I will go with 1^st degree on this one.

I hope you're right, Mags.

Jurors in the Hernandez case have been deliberating for nearly 35 hours over the course of 6 days in court. It's taking longer than I expected for them to reach a verdict.

I'm starting to worry a little that at least one of them wants to acquit Hernandez. The jury hasn't sent any notes to Judge Garsh; no inquiries related to lesser charges or anything like that.

If this peer jury hangs or acquits Hernandez, I might just jump fully on-board the "professional jury" or "trial by judge" bandwagons.

Hopefully the jury is just being very thorough in weighing all of the evidence presented.
