Can one holdout reduce it from death to life? - professor smartbrain May 15, 12:05 1
- Yeah, 1 holdout = life...that it's a quick resolution seems they didn't have to try to convince anyone. -- nm - Will Hunting May 15, 12:06
I honestly don't know. - Mel Profit May 15, 12:03
i hope and expect "no". -- nm - Andie May 15, 12:01
Hoping for no but assuming vengeance wins the day again. - ty97 May 15, 12:00 23

  - I'm definitely not 100% (or even close to it) but if I had to bet..... -- nm - ty97 May 15, 12:03 21

      - Just over a day of deliberations. - Will Hunting May 15, 12:05 18
        
        i really don't know if twelve people could all really quickly decide to kill someone. -- nm - Andie May 15, 12:07 5

        Would you then expect it to be a sizable majority for no death? - Will Hunting May 15, 12:14 1

        I think they've had 2 years to think about it. - Will Hunting May 15, 12:08
        
        I love when you Canadians act quaint. - ty97 May 15, 12:08

        I would just say "You'll NEVER convince me guys, I'm willing to stay here for weeks. You want to go home: give in a life sentence" -- nm - Guigue May 15, 12:07 10
        
        I'd imagine the jury would then report you for having lied under jury selection and you'd be gone. - Will Hunting May 15, 12:12

        I wouldn't lie to begin with, so I guess I'd never make it there anyway -- nm - Guigue May 15, 12:15
        
        This is how I now I'd never get selected for a DP case. - ty97 May 15, 12:09 6

        Yup, but it doesn't matter. There's zero way I'd ever vote for death - ty97 May 15, 12:16 4

        It goes beyond rules for me. I think the death penalty itself is murder. - ty97 May 15, 12:22 2

        i don't think it's a matter of law in this case. i'm the same way. i don't see putting a convict to death as anything other than murder. you can tell - Andie May 15, 12:31
      - I'm not familiar with when deliberations started? -- nm - ty97 May 15, 12:05
My hope is "no". I won't miss him if he is executed, but I don't think execution speaks very well of us as a people. -- nm - TWuG May 15, 11:59
By dragging his body along the 26.2 mile route so he's good and mangled and dead when he reaches the finish line -- nm - CQ May 15, 11:58 3

  - Does he even want it? How committed is he to the cause? -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 12:00 1
    - He discovered his will to live after being hauled out of his hiding boat. - Mel Profit May 15, 12:04
[deleted]
I don't think so, no -- nm - con_carne May 15, 11:54
Yes. -- nm - budice May 15, 11:53

- His bullet riddled confession on the side of the boat is all I needed. -- nm - Spawn May 15, 11:55 5

    - I read this as, "Would you drop him in a tank of sharks?" -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 12:23 1
      - Oh! I'm a maybe on that one. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 12:32
    - No. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 12:16
    - Yes. -- nm - Spawn May 15, 12:08
No. -- nm - ReluctantCynic May 15, 11:52
I hope so. it costs a fortune to keep him alive for 50 more years -- nm - Peglegpete May 15, 11:51 1
- And it'll cost a fortune to eventually execute him in 15 years - Guigue May 15, 11:57
agreeance -- nm - all the boys love OBBR May 15, 11:50
