A Reporter's Life


Peterson jury

So, after a five-month trial and a stupid amount of press coverage, Scott Peterson's future is in the hands of 12 jurors who are trying to decide whether he murdered his wife and their unborn son. Several attorneys -- who've apparently had nothing better to do but stand around outside the courthouse and provide oh-so-clever insight to the media crews -- predicted when deliberations would conclude. (Scroll to the very bottom to see that part, listed in a separate box.) What confuses things, though, is that the newspaper didn't mention which Wednesday they were referring to. If they meant yesterday, then two of the three attorneys are already wrong.

I predict that the jury will reach verdicts by the end of the week. The jury is sequestered, and I doubt they want to spend their weekend under guard and locked away with one another. It's one thing to go to court on weekdays while your job continues to pay you, but it's another thing to give up a weekend. If that doesn't happen, though, then I think deliberations will take most of next week and end in a hung jury and mistrial.

I had really hoped the verdicts would come in on Tuesday, when all the media people had better things to do, like report on the election. Oh well.

Our editor is thinking Tuesday.

On Court TV they have a "deliberation clock." Cracks me up.

Who knows now that two jurors, including the foreman, have been given the cold boot?

So where's the update post? The one that says the pessimistic reporters were wrong? I'll be the first to admit that although I predicted the Lodi City Council race and its initiative, I missed this one.

In other news, note the time. I am ALREADY sick of the media coverage. Anyone else? Puhleez.

Agreed. This is getting as much coverage as the election. Maybe more. What would have happened if the jury reached its decision back on the 2nd or 3rd?

Blogging is the next generation of the Internet. If you've got something to say that interests somebody else, by golly, then there you have it! It's not about search engine rank or advertising, either. It's about word-of-mouse, and presentation. More here
