re: #389 Varek Raith

The point is obvious.
The jury didn’t think he murdered the kid.
Why?
SYG. He ‘feared’ for his life.

We have no idea what the Jury thought. Unless and until I hear an interview with a juror I’m not going to make any assumptions. Maybe some jurors wanted murder one and others wanted manslaughter. While I think it is unlikely that would cause a deadlock, I think it is equally unlikely that someone who voted guilty for three counts of attempted murder would want to acquit on the actual murder.

Since the case may be retried I doubt we’ll be able to hear from these jurors for a while though.
