The jury took an hour to decide.
In closing arguments, the defense maintained:
a) There was only circumstantial evidence against Yang.
b) The recorded admissions of guilt were just an exercise in story-telling on the part of Yang.
“I took one last shot in the head, finished her off,” Yang said on a snippet of tape played for jurors before they began deliberating.I just wonder why the jury took a whole hour.
Stuff like that on tape
leaves no room to escape

Has she been prosecuting traffic violations for 18 years? I hope these theatrics were saved for reporters and not the jury.
Way over the top! I wonder if the prosecutor was worried the jury would find her guilty of a lesser charge because they would see it as an impulsive crime of passion.
