Jean I am so glad your there for us.
I would love to be there for sure..

Sounds like the jury is getting deep into the exhibits. I was glad
they asked to see the letter Julie wrote.

Keep us posted.

I hope it wasn’t lost on the jury what Jean Casarez stated earlier today, that Mark Jensen went to Dr. Borman to get something to help Julie sleep. Mark, himself, slipped up by telling someone (can’t remember who) that she was sleeping a lot, that he had to “prop her up” so she could say good-bye to the boys, etc. As it turned out, it was the last good-bye from their mother. How sad…

Hang in there Jean!

What’s with wanting them to stay longer?

You are so professional and so likable - Jean! I always enjoy your work when you are the correspondent on a trial. Thank you for all your hard work and keeping us informed so well.

Jensen,is a very inhumane man for not taking his wife to the hospital.
If you saw an animal in that much pain you would have taken it to
a vet. Juila Jensen was not sophisticated enough to plan such a
diabolical scheme frame Mark, nor was she masochist.,to suffer
like she did in a drug induced state of confusion and helplessness.

Jean,

I want to first thank you and all the other reporters who cover cases like this. Your hard work and dedication to the case is much appreciated.

No matter the outcome of this case, it is going to leave a lasting impression on me. My heart goes out to the brothers and family of Julie Jensen and even to the family of Mark Jensen. There are no winners when it comes to a case like this. The Jensen boys have lost their mother, and they soon might lose their father too. While I understand and believe that we have a system that works, the whole thing is just sad!

Keep up the great work. I am a huge fan of the network.

Jean, what is going on with the jury? I have my notebook on and I can no longer receive live info. I have watched this trial as the logo says, gavel to gavel. Anything would be great to know, have they contiued, or gone home for the night? It`s about 11:00pm Thanks, Rhonda

The jury are gathering nails, for Mark Jensen’s coffin. It took me only 5 minutes to find him guilty. It took that long because I had to go through the check list one by one.

A nail bitter, hey? Thanks for hanging in there Jean. Well, its shortly past 11:00pm. I think we have a educated jury by all means. When they hang Mark, they will in good conscience be able to sleep. I know that money buys the best defense, but I also believe there are intelligent jurors on this panel. I will be the first one on Jean’s blog if I have to eat crow and the jury aquits or finds Mark not guilty…So CNN stopped the live feed so I will be like alot of you, waiting and HOPING!

I am impressed by this jury - it is obvious they are all taking their civic duty seriously (as should be.) From the multitude of notes taken during this lengthy trial, to the immediate exhibit requests right off the bat in deliberations- wow!

Hi Jean,
Your coverage of this Trial has been stellar! You’re as dedicated if not more so…as the Post Man ..I bet he doesn’t have to put on makeup during a blizzard :>)) to go to work. (I’m including everybody else that made it happen too.)
I Hope the next trial you (and yours) get to cover is in the Keys….or somewhere warm! You deserve it!..Kind Regards

Thanks for the update Jean. I thought deliberations would last only a couple of hours. I find it hard to believe a juror is apparently hanging their hat on the defense’s theory of the case.

I SURE HOPE THEY FIND HIM GUILTY. THERE IS NO WAY HER NOSE COULD GET SO BENT OUT OF SHAPE, IF SHE COULD MOVE HERSELF. SHE WAS DEFINATELY HELD DOWN, AND SMOTHERED WHEN SHE WASN’T DYING FAST ENOUGH….AND WHY WOULDN’T HE LET THE KIDS IN THE HOUSE WHEN HE BROUGHT THEM HOME FROM SCHOOL……WAS IT BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT JULIE WAS DEAD??? DUH!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU DO, I LOVE IT……PEGGY

Why did Dr. Borman give Mark a prescription for Julie Jensen? I don’t know where I’m from that is not the norm. And I’m from the USA

Kelly Jensen has it made. If Mark is convicted she can divorce him and move on to another.

Reguarding the best evidence so far, has to for the prosecution. Mark Jensen’s hand written note stating “bag hands”.

from atlanta georgia:

The Prosecutors have the best evidence
Since when did one commtiing sucide would use a pillow on
themself and almost break their nose?

Thanks Jean Casarez, we depend on you. I’m retired and keep In Session on 6 hrs. day, then go to the computer. Sounds like jury is doing a good job. Really anxious to get this verdict. Keep up the good work.

As sick as Mrs. Jensen was, medical attention was never sought
and Mr Jensen never mentioned to her Doctor how sick she was the day before she died. When he was seeking psychotic drugs for her
Thts messed up

I think the most telling evidence is that she was suffocated: the bent nose and indication of pressure from being sat on. It’s plausible that she could take anti freeze, but could not sit on herself or suffocate herself.

Where is the live coverage? Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
