Casey Anthony Trial – Could It Be Nearing The End?
Posted on June 13th, 2011 by Simon Barrett

Excerpt:

This trial has been full of surprises. I have to admit that I thought we were in for another OJ Simpson adventure, one that seemed to last an eternity. My thinking was that we were going to see two very different strategies, the prosecution would be short and to the point, while the defense would prefer to drag out the process to confuse the jury.

The is also a psychological game being played out. The jury being sequestered adds a dimension. In some ways they are unwitting victims placed under house arrest. There is also the question of who the jailer is. Generally the Jailer is the judge. A man that is often perceived as little more than an extension of the State Prosecution. One common theory is that the longer that the jury remains ‘locked up’ the more likely they will be to swing toward the defense. After all, it wasn’t the defense team that deprived them of their freedom. Of course there is an equally compelling argument that tells us that members of a jury are not stupid. They will spot ‘time wasting’ and this could be very detrimental to the defense case when deliberations take place.
