Was it Bortland or was it Melly?

Before the Verdict

Jamell Demons has been accused of two accounts of First Agreement and it remains to be seen what the jury's verdict will be.

Many polls have put the number at 27 guilty, sixty-seven not guilty and 6 percent hung jury - yet regardless of people's opinions you cannot deny that the Melly trial will have a large impact.

We are all prone to having certain biases, and while we can strive to be objective, it is not always easy.

This is what we must consider when analyzing the recent court case. We need to make sure that our judgments are impartial and fair - thus it becomes a difficult undertaking for most of us - because it is just not in our nature.

The case of YNW Melly is a complex one that has many people wondering: did he commit the perfect murder?

Some may answer yes, while others may disagree; it is impossible to commit what could be considered a perfect crime and get away with it.

They are trying to make some kind of arrangement with the authorities, but twelve individuals will have the final say in whether justice was served.

Therefore, we can only speculate as to whether YNW Melly committed the perfect murder.

In the heat of the moment, it may have been done hastily, but there is no denying that this situation has gone off the rails.

Officer Moretti clearly showed his ineptitude by completing a sloppy investigation - something which should not be rewarded.

Despite this, everyone could see that all evidence had been presented and evaluated accordingly.

And then, as a surprise, smoke was discovered billowing from Melly's car seat despite her absence.

So much has been said about the current situation but not enough on the potential outcome.

People can have influence with their words, and it is possible that this moment will be in history books for years to come.

But will he get a fair trial? Unfortunately, past experiences have shown that it might be hard to find an unbiased jury given the circumstances.

Too many people are focused on creating data and history today, including myself - and I know others feel this way as well.

Is twelve people enough to find a man guilty? That is the question that needs answering.

I strongly believe in what I am saying yet many may try to argue with me. The prosecution must prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, especially in Florida, which poses an even more difficult task.

This was due to a lack of trust in both the government and judicial system, which has only intensified with recent events.

Regardless of how clear the evidence of guilt may be, individuals like Casey Anthony and George Zimmerman still manage to evade punishment in cases such as the death of Trayvon Martin.

Although one could attempt to detach themselves from these situations by believing 'these events are happening elsewhere', each state varies drastically in their approach towards justice.

We must understand this notion to comprehend why these people go unpunished.

After the Verdict

At the YNW Melly trial, the judge had strong words for the jury to consider. Specifically, he said..."so at this time what I that how much we appreciate the fact that you were here and will be sure one thing I try to tell jurors at the beginning of the trial process while a few more dire is how much we appreciate the fact that they're here and willing to serve.

Our system does not work, if we do not get people from the community to come in here and listen to the facts of the case and make decisions, they're hard decisions.

We would like to express our immense gratitude for the time you dedicated to our situation.

We recognize that it may have been difficult, especially after having served us for an extended period.

Despite the circumstances that led to this predicament, we appreciate that you took the opportunity to discuss and consider our case. Once again, thank you for your consideration.

As you embark on your journey as a juror, there are some incredibly special privileges for you to be aware of.

For centuries, society has placed its trust in juries and has respected the final judgments they make. Therefore, no one can ever put pressure on jurors to reveal confidential matters or conversations that may have taken place during their deliberations.

The lawyers or representatives involved in the court proceedings are not even allowed to communicate with any of the jurors about it.

This gives all jury members a unique privilege of remaining silent about their involvement until they choose otherwise.

We are now concluding this trial, and we want to make sure all parties understand their rights.

You have the right to speak with lawyers and other individuals involved in the proceedings. However, should anyone try to question you or function as an adversary, remember it is your prerogative whether you wish to answer them.

The same goes for keeping your opinion regarding the trial - it is entirely up to you. We want to thank everyone for coming tonight; your presence here has been appreciated. Thank you!"

Beginning this week, she proposed that we set a status update for Friday at the end of 90 days.

After some contemplation, it was agreed that 28th would work out best.

When asked to confirm, the response was an affirmative yes and appreciation for bringing it up.

Everything is settled then and until next Friday - the 28th -" they said their goodbyes.
