I am not surprised that this is a hung jury I my self have questions on both sides when it comes to this case.
I am not a 100% convinced that MRS.Zammitti is innocent in this horrible ordeal.

This is to Eliane
There is no smoking gun!!If they had the weapon the trial would have been over a long time ago. And this finger prints were ONLY on the streeing wheel,not even on the gear shift!!HMMM how can you drive a stick shift without using the gear shift??
And hung jury means they can't decide!!so more hope for Sean. The wife should be so looked at.I just wished this could have been over with .
And to the person who made the comment about the jury being stupid, just put yourself in their position having to decide if a person should be put in jail for the rest of her/his life. And as far as this case goes there are so many holes in the prosecutions case that no wonder they are hung

I have been reading peoples comments on the Fitzpatrick trial. so many people assume he is guilty because of DNA on the steering wheel and car keys. OK did anyone think about the fact that if he DID drive the truck then why is there no DNA from Sean Fitzpatrick on the gear shift....or did they even test the gear shift for his DNA it makes no SENSE if he drove the truck to commit the murders that either they found no DNA on the gear shift or they did not bother to look for prints on the gear shift- (because if that should come back negative then they would have no case) Also why are so many people assuming the he is the murderer, based on what DNA on the steering wheel and car keys. So he has been their caretaker. Or do those persons assume he is guilty because he had an affair. This is strictly circumstantial and if you can vote guilty then maybe you do not understand the instructions that are given to jurors. IF YOU HAVE any DOUBT about his guilt then it would
not be doing justice to vote guilty. I need alot more evidence to consider this man guilty.

I have read all the comments about jurors and have just one thing to say. Until you have served as a juror, until you have suffered the emotional and physical toll it takes, you have no right at all to call a juror stupid or idiotic or wrong.

I believe Fitz did in fact murder these 2 men. The EZ Pass information, coupled with the green truck having been taken from so many miles away/just near his home in another state, and the affair with Michael's wife, clinches it for me. I can understand how some people could not convict him. Many people need very direct evidence like a literal finger print on a weapon at the murder scene. But circumstantial evidence is just as real and just as useful in convicting someone. It's a travesty if Fitz is let go; however, I think that is what will happen here. Michele strikes me as being insanely needy. Fitz is arrogant but somehow I rather liked him. What an interesting case! A great look into marital infidelity and its possible ramifications..... Yikes.

How could ANYBODY vote guilty on the absurd evidence in this trial? NOONE saw this man driving the truck, why would he kill him at work in the presence of others, HAS ANYONE LOOKED FOR ANOTHER BOYFRIEND OF THE WIFE????? I would bet she has one somewhere! I could not send this man to prison for the rest of his life based on the evidence at hand – I don't know how anyone could...... IT'S CALLED REASONABLE DOUBT!!!!!!!!!

Watching someone who will probably get away with murder is very difficult. My heart goes out to the Zammiti family and Roberts family. If he is found not guilty my belief in the justice system will be destroyed. Michelle Zammiti, she should hang her head in shame for the rest of her miserable life. Poor woman was not getting enough attention at home. How does all this attention feel now!!!!!

Another thought, Sean seems to be so " no big deal" about everything, sure he loves Michelle, but I think he would have been more like " oh well, se la vie" Michelle on the other hand seems to be hung up on the relationship more than he. I think if either of them wanted Michael out of the way it would have been her. Now she is playing (overplaying) the grieving widow to the hilt!! After all she has to save face in front of the family now. She said one time she wanted to maintain a certain appearance so that no one would be suspicious of her and Sean, I think she is doing that now. If you want to know who killed MIchael.....ask Michelle.
