Did your jury send out a note, the one we all know and love, that asks: " Which is more, 99 years or life?"

Congrats!

But sadly, we didn't get that note. Our judge knows all too well that it is often asked, so he let the jury know that he couldn't tell them the difference after he read them the charge. They told us afterward that they just wanted to be certain that he never got out. And he probably won't.

And here is an opinion released today that confirms your suspicion that the deadly conduct lesser was not required: click here.
