Thats my point, some of the jurors are considering a guilty verdict.

They live with the verdict; you go on to another thread.

The fact that the jury is still considering proves that he might get convicted.

I doubt he'll get convicted of murder, in fact I'd be shocked.
i know the charges, but cant figure out how jury could get him on manslaughter if the evidence cant show criminal negligence. certainly not listening to 911 operator is not a crime in any way shape or form. this is sounding more like "the jury has to get him on something", which is wrong.

Definitely think a hung jury is definite possibility. I wonder if the state would once again try him on trumped up charges?

If I was on that jury I would not be able to live with myself if I went to bed at night and put somebody away for life. There would have to be overwhelming evidence to support a verdict of guilty.

I've served as a juror on a murder case, somewhat similar to this case, and the judge instructs you not to consider the punishment when deliberating.

This is why jurors are vetted.

I'm not in fear.... I always carry wherever I go, have for years. As a responsible CCW carrier, I try to avoid possible situations that lead to confrontation. That's why I won't be going downtown Sanford today.

Yes, always a chance of a lone nutcase wishing to convict regardless of the evidence.
