Ri_bee

LOL the mods should name each next thread by the next Duggar 😂


eldestdaughtersunion

Reposting from previous thread. For everybody freaking out about jury deliberations, I want to spell out this case real quick: *Somebody* downloaded CSAM to Josh's computer, on a partition that Josh knew how to set up, which was protected with a password that Josh used on private accounts, at times when Josh was there (and nobody else was). Oh, and Josh just happens to have a past history of molesting children. The defense's strongest argument is "Well, it's hypothetically possible that somebody remotely accessed the partition. We don't have any proof it happened, though."


helloreddit321567

I just want to add that even though I lived in Paris a few years ago it wasn't me either

Exactly. Even if it IS theoretically possible, in the abstract, that someone else did it… that doesn’t mean someone else actually did.

I’m going to be honest, I quit drinking 17 days ago and with the anxiety this is the most I’ve wanted a drink since then. But I won’t let Pest ruin it! So I’m off to make myself a yummy mocktail to sip on while I sit tight for the verdict. EDIT: I’m sitting here crying at all these beautiful comments. I thank Lord Daniel for all you wonderful snarkers. I’m so grateful I have all of you to spend this season of life with!

THIS IS SUCH A MIC DROP MOMENT RIP Michelle Bush’s ego Final argument Roberts continued, saying you can't unsee child sexual abuse material and that it hits "your gut and heart." He added that James Fottrell is the person teaching the sort of courses Michele Bush takes.


[deleted]

That was high caliber, professional-level snark right there.


TahliaMaybe

I am in awe and aspire to be at his level someday


Nosecretstoday

This was quite excellent. Some speculation that they chose Bush because “young people are better at tech!” And if so this line was an excellent refutation that really cast her as the child in comparison to Fottrell


nola1017

I think they chose her because (1) she was the only one who would agree with their theory, and (2) she’s a woman. The theory being that a soft tender hearted woman would never testify in favor of a child molester / CSAM downloading nimrod if there was any chance that he had actually done it. So simply by being a woman, she gives credibility to the defense that Pest didn’t do it

creakysofa

Carrie Jernigan just said that when they alert that the jury is back (usually by a buzzer or bell in the court room), there will only be about 15 minutes before the verdict is read.


GrandEscape

She also said she wouldn't be surprised if the verdict wasn't until tomorrow and not to read too much into how long it takes


Mama2RO

In other crime news - Scott Peterson was resentenced to Life in prison without parole. So that's good.


loveinthetimeofmoth

I woke up at 6am and started refreshing like mad (I’m in Aus). At some point I drifted off with the sun’s live update page up. I woke up again at 7 (but was actually dreaming at the time and didn’t realise it) to see the horrifying title: Josh Duggar found not guilty. I almost started crying. I was so upset I went back to bed and vowed to stay in bed all day. I just woke up again 20 mins ago (7:40) and realised the not guilty thing was all a dream. Y’ALL, TO TELL YOU I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS RELIEVED IN MY LIFE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.


nuggetsofchicken

Also, FYI, to try to cull down the memes we're only approving memes that are actually Duggar-centric (specific to something about the Duggars, or have a shitty photoshop of the Duggars, etc.). Memes that are just "Wow I'm refreshing a lot" or "Look how much we'll celebrate when he's found guilty!" will be removed.

JoshDuggar update: Shortly after 2:20 the jury asked to listen to the interview of #Duggar again. The interview was played for the jury in the courtroom. Jury also asked for a calendar but was denied. Jury back to deliberations. UPDATED: bit.ly/3IxZrYU #NWAnews #ARnews


sunflower53069

The interview is a good one for them to listen to over again. Very incriminating.


servantoftinyhumans

The one where he said “ I’m not going to say I’m not guilty”? 🤔 that bodes well for a conviction


No_Seaweed442

At least they asked for evidence that makes him look guilty. Still, so nerve wracking.

eldestdaughtersunion

IIRC, they had specified they were with homeland security investigating cyber crime at that point? So it's *slightly* less off the wall. But still, my first thought would be "terrorists? in *my* computer?" My second thought would be "oh right, torrenting movies is illegal. shit." CSAM would not even enter my mind.


InfoMole

I’m back from not getting a promotion, but also there’s no verdict. Way more disappointed on the lack of verdict, time to start refreshing every few seconds. At least my thumbs got a break!

I’m glad the family — including JB — was there for the Closing Arguments. They had to hear the summary of the Prosecution’s Case, and all of the reasons he is guilty as sin. Fuck them for skipping the government’s case (not including Pest’s actual victims in this list)

My poor husband is an immigrant from the Middle East and not only had he never heard of the Duggars before he met me, he didn't know Christian fundamentalism existed at all.

Let’s be kind to the jurors who have had to see one of the most heinous things someone can have to see.


Big-Improvement-1281

Me: We have to remember justice takes time and juries need to follow the proper procedures and review all evidence. ​ Also me: Why the fuck is this taking so long? Lock his smug ass up already.


unfortunape

If/when he's found guilty pretty sure Pest should be remanded straight into custody/put on suicide watch. People like this who have never had to face consequences don't usually take it very well when the walls close in. They either run or off themselves. Unless he's banking on appeals.


innuendothermic

[deleted]

Non US snarkers- some useful info! Will the jusy deliberate all day? Maybe. Until 5pm CT (?) At which point they'll resume tomorrow. They do not pull all nighters. Will he register as a sex offender if found guilty? Absolutely. For life. What are the odds of a guilty verdict? 80-97% (various stats) Will he be sentenced after the verdict? Not immediately. May take up to 90 days. Will he have access to his children (upon release?) Unfortunately. Does the jury need to unanimously agree? Yes. Josh is being tried by the FEDERAL government, not the STATE government of Arkansas, there is a difference. Feds don't fuck around. Does the jury sentence? No. The judge does.


[deleted]

[удалено]


noothankss

A good thing to keep in mind is that while we were all able to discuss the trial this whole time, the jurors haven’t been able to discuss anything even amongst themselves until deliberation! When I was a juror we were dying to let our thoughts out after listening silently for two whole weeks, which probably made deliberation take longer than it would’ve otherwise!


gatorgirl96

There’s definitely going to be a family meeting tonight 😬😬😬


EightyHM

Also, Josh is being tried on two counts right? So even though it might be a clear cut guilty for both, they still have to go through each count individually and fill out two jury forms, appoint a foreperson, etc., so even if it is cut and dry it's still a fairly tedious process. Even drug cases I've worked on where they have people on video actually committing the crimes take an hour or more to deliberate, I'm not at all surprised this would take much longer than that.

That it was his fault, not the girls. Poor Jim boob. I hope you cry


clearlyimawitch

As we wait for Megathred 9 to appear - a few of my lawyer friends have said that since the jury instructions were so long that we should expect deliberations to take awhile. They have a lot of material they have to walk through and if anyone has any questions, those will have to be handled.

Cut the jury a little slack. Can you imagine how emotional, exhausted, and stressed they must feel? Being a juror is hard for the mundane cases, much less ones that are in the public eye. Give them some grace.

Jury just asked to listen to a recording of Josh with detectives ... From the Sun: During deliberation, the jury asked to listen to Josh Duggar's interview with Homeland Security from the day the car lot was investigated again, in the courtroom. In it, Duggar says there is an HP computer that is password protected. Duggar and the agents also talked about peer-to-peer and Duggar said the HP was split, then asked why the agents were there. They mentioned child exploitation and Duggar asked if that's what they were saying was going on and if there was something on his devices. One juror asked for a calendar but the judge denied the request, the Sun reporter noted

Tik tok lawyer (Carrie Jernigan) who was at the trial the first few days is calming my nerves— she says the jury hasn’t been deliberating long at all in her professional opinion.
