Matthew Farwell's Judge Read the Jury's Note and Told Them THIS

About

Matthew Farwell's judge read the jury's deadlock note and told jurors they hadn't deliberated long enough. Bob Motta of Defense Diaries noted Judge Denise Casper hadn't given the instruction meant to push a stuck jury. Motta and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke take Tony through the whole Matthew Farwell trial: the prosecution's case built on Sandra Birchmore's texting habits, the defense's claim that she took her own life, and Farwell's decision to stay silent. Motta explains the two-part federal charge and why the second part is where trials like this get stuck. Dreeke warns that people outside the courtroom are reading testimony through filters, without the tone jurors heard. Tony asks whether a state case would expose Farwell to far more people than this one has.
