Have seen it mentioned that Dukes is there as an observer in his capacity representing the Sheriff's Dept. It seems he might have some more work to do after this trial.

cant believe those people in the courthouse could get off work today

Dukes is not there as an observer and the sheriffs department is not a party in the case.

 

[general nat]

I am sure Al an Jesse have their personal planes on standby. Either way this is not going to end well

That's what was reported by the Hattiesburg Patriot. Perhaps their information is wrong. Additionally, several readers commented that Dukes came in just before the trial began in anticipation of allegations that would be made against county employees.

Might just be coffee shop talk but several have said he isn't counsel for DuPree.

Dukes is giving the closing statement for the defense. Man, he is good in the courtroom.

Expect the jury decision to be 7 - 5 and a mistrial. May be wrong but that's my opinion. We shall see whenever they finish deliberating.

 

[APOLLOEagle]

Well I missed the actual count by one but I was correct in that it is a MISTRIAL.

This is truly disgusting.

The odds of a 7-5 mistrail were slim. A 7-5 vote would have required tampering or intimidation of two jurors instead of one in order to swing the vote. With a 7-5 vote probably falling along racial lines, intimidation would have been much harder to posit. With an 8-4 vote at least one black juror voted in favor of Ware which could lend credence to intimidation by either side. Either Ware's side intimidating the one black Yes vote or Dupree's side intimidating one of the other three black No votes. A 7-5 vote without the suspicion of tampering would've made Dupree the mayor.

If the accusations of witness tampering were valid, the judge made a mistake in requiring the jurors to provide their vote openly to everyone present. He should've required them to privately reveal their votes in the open court to reduce the risk of juror tampering by private or public coersion.
