| John Katehis, on trial for murdering George Weber |
A few minutes before 5PM, the jury sent another note to the Judge telling them that they had still not been able to reach a verdict. Since it was a few minutes before their regular dismissal time, Judge Firetog sent them home for the day and told them to come back at 9:45 AM tomorrow.
With several notes indicating that they're unable to reach a verdict, it appears that we are likely to see a hung jury, which means a mistrial and a second trial. Hopefully though, whoever the holdouts are will come to their senses and convict the man who affectionately termed himself "Greek Satan".
I'm not optimistic. In fact, I'm sick to my stomach with disbelief, shock and sadness. This is such an inappropriate post mortem for such a kind soul.

This is sickening. So someone on the jury really believes it was self-defense. If only the cops had found the murder weapon, it would've been a whole different story.
ReplyDeletehi guys --i'm kristen and I was george's downstairs neighbor on henry street for 7 years. i was actually home at the time of the murder and heard something that sounded like george moving furniture -- loud enough/odd enough so that a pricked up my ears but in NO WAY the sounds of a violent struggle. this kid is completely lying -- no way in hell he was fighting george off in self defense.
ReplyDeletewe actually left NYC soon after the murder -- it broke our hearts wondering if we could have done something to help george. we're following the trial from here in LA and it is so disturbing -- what jury on earth could possibly NOT find this kid guilty.
