Lindsay Clancy — Lindsay appears to disassociate a lot this first week

The jury this morning went on a bus to the CVS then to the Restaurant and finally to the scene of 47 summer street. This home is no longer owned by Patrick and Lindsay.

This allows jurors to see the route and how long Patrick would be gone for, as well as to see the scene it's self. the layout of the house, the height of the window. Prosecution, Defence and Judge go with them but there is no communication allowed.

My Opinion on this:

I haven't really seen a case where the jury goes on a view so this is interesting in that aspect

However it seems with technology today a virtual rendition could be made and jurors could view that way

I feel bad for the new owners of the house having to have all of these strangers in their home. I wonder if they were told this would be a possibility at the time of purchase.

So far do you think she's guilty or innocent?

Guilty
Guilty , by reason of insanity
Innocent
