AP Article covering the opening statements of Cameron Brown's second trial for the murder of his daughter, Lauren Sarene Key.
There are a couple of blogs following this case closely. Cameron Brown Trial and Sprocket Trials.
It's a relief to have this finally under way. Cameron Brown waived his right to a speedy trial, and has now been in jail for seven years. The first trial produced a hung jury. They all thought he was guilty, but only eight jurors wanted Murder One. Two voted for Murder Two, and the other two for Manslaughter.
Hopefully, they will reach a consensus this time.
Oh, Christ. I could see this happening in the Coleman case. There will be the One Doofus Juror who just has to be a holdout, just to create drama and garner attention, and say that the murders weren't premeditated, Chris Coleman just lost it, he really WAS going to ask for a divorce but Sheri must have said or done something to set him off, women do that, don't they.

In this case, like the Coleman one, forensics will do him in. I think the problem was that there were too many choices given the jury. Three is too many, IMO. Murder I or II, and forget the manslaughter. If he did it, he meant to do it.

I wish we had some updates...
