Well, the highly awaited day has arrived, now we wait!

The jury has deliberated and returned to their sequestered lodging for the night. The National Guard has touched down in the city, prayerfully discouraging unrest. Stores have boarded their windows and ATM machines have been emptied of cash – now we wait!

Anxiety is on high, at least mine is. The fair trial system can’t come back with an acquittal. I need to believe that justice doesn’t omit us, it can’t this time – now we wait!

I’ve been in the juror seat and understand the complexity of making a decision. What’s unimaginable is making a decision under the watchful eyes of the world. – now we wait, God please provide peace – as we wait!
