Fall 2009, Vol. 52

Tree of Life Reiki Center


To all our friends, and fellow Reiki Practitioner’s from around the world International and Domestic welcome to our fall edition of Tree of Life Reiki Newsletter.


Fall has finally arrived! Well not entirely, for those of us living in the desert southwest are still experiencing temperatures above 100 degrees. Mornings and late evenings are beginning to cool down somewhat so surely fall can’t be to far away? Across the rest of the continental US, fall is descending, bringing all of the changing colors to the trees and foliage. Snow has already fallen in some locations. This summer saw many records broken in the desert southwest for extreme heat, and the number of days having 100 plus degree temperatures,
so we are most anxiously awaiting more moderate fall.


Reiki and Other Healing Modalities Questions & Answers: Please e-mail us any questions you might have regarding our classes, or perhaps you have specific questions about Reiki. We will do our best to answer them in upcoming newsletters.

Question: These questions have been asked many times, so I thought perhaps this would be a good opportunity to provide everyone with additional information on the subject of Grounding and Negative Energy.

Answer #1: Grounding

Anytime you feel spacey or disoriented it is a good idea to ground and center yourself. The first step in many spiritual practices is to learn to ground, that is to connect yourself energetically to the core of the Earth even when you wish to astral travel or meditate you will find that beginning from being grounded will help you with inner focus.

Whatever your beliefs are this simple practice can make a huge difference in your life. There are many techniques for grounding and it is wise to look for those that work best for you.

The essence of most methods is to relax and visualize yourself sending an energy cord or light beam into the earth from your root chakra (at the tailbone) and allowing it to reach the earth core. Thus allowing you to get energy from the Earth and return excess energy down the cord. The energy you send down the cord that is not your own is cleansed and used by the earth. Your own energy is cleansed and returned to you. There are spirit beings that thrive on clearing negative energy. A classic form of grounding is to imagine roots growing into the Earth from your feet and spinal column or central energy channel. Some traditions strongly prefer that you ground from the spinal center and not from the feet. I follow the tradition of asking the Earth for permission and thanking her for her healing energy.


Answer #2: Negative Energy

I sometimes have a hard time trying to get rid of some negative energy especially after treating clients. Every time you have an emotional contact with anyone, you create an attachment point to him or her. A cord of energy or chakra cord. Ask to heal the areas where the cords were attached and create a shield around each chakra to prevent further attachments. You can also if possible take a sea salt bath to remove negative energy. Rinse yourself down with the warm water and watch the water go down the drain, taking your negative energy with it.
There are no hard and fast rules.


New Training Courses:
Many new courses have been added to our Tree Of Life Reiki web site this past quarter. Money River Reiki, Money Reiki for a new Reality, Success Flush Reiki just to name a few, A very important new class you might want to take a closer look at is titled: Starburst New Beginnings by Founder Linda Colibert
Star Burst New Beginnings Reiki connects you to the energies of a StarBurst and is the creative energies of new beginnings. Life is born of the burst of energy that happens when a star goes nova and bursts spraying out particles into the atmosphere. These energies create matter and are the result of changes, death of the old, and rebirth of the new. Star Burst New Beginnings Reiki works with these energies to help you bring about changes for the better, creativity, and New Beginnings.

Our Incredible Moon:

October Moon is A Waxing Crescent Moon, currently 7% of the full Moon.

October's Harvest Moon
Every few years, the full moon closest to the equinox that earns the name of the Harvest Moon falls in October instead of September. This is one of those years. The moon reaches full stage at 2:10 a.m. EDT on October 4, 2009. On the West Coast of the United States, the full moon occurs just before midnight on October 3. For observers in North America who watch the moonrise at sunset, the moon will look fullest on the 3rd.

On October 7, two hours after sunset, the moon will rise near the Pleiades star cluster. On October 26, the bright point of light by the moon is Jupiter, which shines at magnitude -2.6. Halloween, October 31, will not host the full moon, but it will be 95%-lit because the next full moon is only two days later. The time of sunset on Halloween depends on location. For example, Chicago will see the sun set at 5:45 p.m. while down in Houston the sun will set an hour later, at 6:35 p.m.


Halloween Night:
October 31st (Halloween) is a favorite time celebrated by many in the United States. On that night children (and many adults) dress up in their favorite costumes and masks. Some choosing to dress as Witches, Ghosts, Devils, etc, etc. some in scary dress while others dress in funny attire, or to look like famous celebrity or even political figures. Once dressed they attend local Halloween parties or many children go door to door in their respective neighborhoods “Trick or Treating” each child must carry a bag or something capable of holding candy and treats that are passed out to them at each home they choose to visit. Most neighbors participating in the one night festivity will leave their porch lights a glow to welcome the young “Trick or Treaters.” This is a tradition that I remember taking part in myself as a child, and now as an adult continue in that tradition by passing out treats to children who ring or knock at our door. The one night event usually begins soon after sunset and ends within a few hours 3-4 at most. We do try to keep an adequate supply of treats on hand to support the children’s fun. Sometimes depending on the number of children going door to door, we have run out of candy treats, so we simply let them know by turning off our porch or outside lights and then they pass us on by. I have included a short poem here of those childhood memories.

Halloween Memories
By Bob Eagleton

Halloween nights, I remember them well,
And the scary stories we all would tell.

Of ghosts and goblins, and vampire bats,
Witches riding brooms with big black cats.

Masquerade parties with games and fun,
With plenty of good treats for everyone.

I’m all grown up now, that’s all in my past,
But those Halloween memories forever will last
A Closing Thought:

Abraham Quote:
You are magnificent beings, in the perfect place at the perfect time, unfolding perfectly, never getting it done, and never getting it wrong. Be more playful about all of it. "Today, no matter where I'm going, no matter what I am doing, and no matter who I'm doing it with -- it is my dominant intent to look for that which I'm wanting to see. I'm wanting to find thoughts and words and actions that feel good while I'm finding them. For in doing so, I am, in the moment, practicing the art of allowing all that I've been telling the Universe I'm wanting, for all of the days of my existence.

"Under My Wing"

I am going to help her heal.

I am going to turn her life around.

If I don't succeed it's not either of our failures...it's just what is.

 

I have faith that she can change.

I feel like no one has EVER offered her their own heart to help.

I know the same exact feeling....

 

It's the feeling like you can't go to anyone because no one will really listen or care...

It's the feeling like you want to die but can't go through with it.

It's the feeling that you look at everyone and think "why is their life so wonderful but mine is shit?"

 

We need to step out.

We need to look at ourselves.

What are WE doing wrong vs. what we think we ARE NOT doing wrong.

 

Surprisingly enough, when you notice someone is down 90% of the people who notice don't actually say anything about it or try to help................

 

Why is that??

I don't know.

When someone is crying out without saying anything- THEY HAVE A BOOK TO WRITE WITH THEIR THOUGHTS!!!!!

 

I wish I would of known Alla's story before it was too late. I don't know if anyone had known.


I knew her story beforehand.

I knew she was trying to spend her money on other things other then drugs.

I knew she wanted help but no one listened.

I knew even if someone HAD listened she would have made the same decision.

 

It's not going to happen again.

     Why do best-selling authors and self-improvement gurus like Wayne Dyer, Shakti Gawain, and Dr. Deepak Chopra praise Jose Silva and the Silva Method so much?


     Look at some of the people who have endorsed and use the Silva Method over the last 40 years:


* Physicians like psychiatrist Clancy McKenzie MD and cancer treatment pioneer O. Carl Simonton MD


* Sports stars like World Series MVP Bucky Dent and national martial arts champion Giuseppina "Vidheya" Del Vicario


* Actors like John Ritter and Loretta Swit


* Business people like the World's Number One Truck Salesman Joe Girard and executives at RCA Records


* Entertainers like Doc Severinsen, long time leader of the NBC Orchestra on the Tonight Show, opera star Marguerite Pizza, and hit singer Vicki Carr


* Researchers like Cleve Backster, author of Primary Perception, and brain researcher Fred Bremner


* Best Selling authors like Richard Bach, who's book Jonathan Livingston Seagull set new sales records, and Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield, authors of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books     



Most importantly: How can the Silva Method help YOU the way it has helped millions of people worldwide over the last half century



     There are 3 main aspects to my father's work:



     Problem-solving: He begain his research in 1944 to solve a problem when we brought home some bad grades.

     His study of psychology led him to hypnosis, and thus he was able to develop techniques we could use to make stronger impressions on our brain neurons, and improve our memory, leading to better test scores and higher grades.

     Then an unexpected event led him to the most important aspect of his research:



     Developing intuition: During one study session, my sister began answering questions before he asked them. "It was like she was guessing my mind," he explained. So he shifted his research to see if this was something real, or if she was just making some lucky guesses.

     Sure enough, when he asked her about things that even he did not know the answer to, she could give him the correct information. So he began to investigate the research that had been done into ESP.

     I am the oldest of his 10 children, so in addition to being a research subject, I observed and recorded much of his work with my brothers and sisters and other people here in Laredo during his 22 years of scientific research.










Jose Silva studied all of the research and all of the ideas he could find regarding psychology, parapsychology, hypnosis, intuition, holistic faith healing, and other problem solving techniques. His personal library contained thousands of books.





     He accumulated thousands of books so he could study the top scientists and the business and professional leaders of the day, who recognized that ultra successful people are able to detect information with their mind, that is not available to their physical senses - and not available to the average person.

     Napoleon Hill, whose research into the wealthiest and most successful people of his day was sponsored by billionaire Andrew Carnegie, said, in his landmark Reading Course in the Law of Success in 1928, that the brain is like a radio sending and receiving station.

     Dr. J.B. Rhine conducted many years of research at Duke University to confirm that some people had what he called an "extra sense."

     But neither Hill nor Rhine nor anybody else could come up with a way to teach people how to do this.

     By 1953, my father knew he had found a way to teach all of us how to use our natural intuition to detect information that we can use to make better decisions, correct problems, and avoid mistakes.

     After another dozen years of perfecting his system, he offered all his reserch, free of charge, to the US government. They said they saw no value in ESP and turned him down.

     So he took it directly to the public. The Silva Method was soon being taught around the world, and millions of people have said, "Thank you Mr. Silva for showing me how to change my life for the better."












Jose Silva observed, studied, and even assisted holistic faith healers and applied his knowledge of science and electronics to help him understand why their techniques worked, and to develop techniques that anybody can use to help correct health problems.





     Holistic Faith Healing: His research into the mind and human potential also led him to investigate holistic faith healers, both in our home town in Laredo, Texas, and around the world.

     He observed, studied, and even assisted holistic faith healers, and applied his knowledge of science and electronics to help him understand why their techniques worked, and to use them himself.

     He became a very good healer himself, and was much in demand, so much so that he eventually relaized something important:

     "I realized that I could not personally heal everybody in the world who needs healing," he said. "So I decided to stop healing people, except for my own family, and to use my time to train other people to do what I do."

     He developed holistic faith healing techniques that anybody can learn to use. His "Rapid Hand Vibration Technique" can be learned in an hour, and many people who never thought that they could be healers discovered that they had the ability to start helping people right away.



How you can benefit from Jose Silva's pioneering research

     The next step is up to you. You can benefit from all of Jose Silva's pioneering research into the mind and human potential.

     This web site is devoted to his research, his philosophy, and his teachings, the way he did it and the way he instructed us to teach it.

     One section of the web site is devoted to problem solving, another to developing intuition, and another to holistic faith healing. You can start with whatever you most need at this time.

     Silva Method courses are offered by certified Silva Method Instructors throughout the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world, and continuing support is available free from the Silva International Graduate Association. There are also numerous specialized programs to help you in all areas of your life.



A whole new world to explore

     You are invited to join me on a journey to a whole new world, a subjective world - the world of the mind - where anything is possible.

     The mind can do anything, my father told us. It is not limited by time or space or physical barriers.

     With your mind, you can program yourself to enjoy perfect health, perfect relationships in your personal and business life, a perfect career. Mental programming is the first step towards anifesting achievement and success in the physical world.

     We may never reach perfection because the physical world is a moving target - it is still evolving - but you can certainly learn how to use your mind to change your life for the better.



What you must do to learn to function in the world of the mind

     My father, personally and through the thousands of Silva Method instructors he has trained, has helped millions of people learn to change their lives for the better, and now you can learn the same techniques and System, in seminars or in the privacy and convenience of your own home.










Jose Silva taught and lived by a very simple philosophy: Do unto others only what you want others to do unto you. If you don't want something done to you, then don't do it to anybody else.





     If you are willing to invest just 15 minutes a day, to sit back and relax and daydream, follow the simple step-by-step instructions my father has provided for us, and let the Silva Method exercises plant new success habits deep inside of you, then I can guide you to learn techniques that can help you find and fulfill the purpose you were sent here for.

     There is one other thing you must do, and this is perhaps the most important thing of all:

     You must use your newfound power for good, you must use it to help anyone you come across who needs help.

     My father said that we were sent here for a purpose, and that purpose is to correct problems.

     There is no great mystery what our purpose in life is: To correct problems. It is not difficult to find out how to go about it: Just look around and you will see plenty of problems that you can work on.

     When you do that, and you use the MentalVideo technique - the last technique that my father developed before his passing - you will receive guidance and help from higher intelligence.



The Second Phase of Human Evolution on the Planet

     The MentalVideo is the culmination of my father's 55 years of research and experience in this field, it is the technique he had sought for many years, the technique that will move humanity into what he called the "second phase of human evolution on the planet."










Orphaned at the age of 4, Jose Silva went to work and never attended school as a student. Through his self-study and his research, and his compassion for humanity, he became a sought after lecturer and authored a dozen books that have sold millions of copies and have been translated into more than two dozen languages.





     The first phase was to develop our physical abilities and tame the physical world.

     We have gone about as far as we can go with that. The old ways of "survival of the fittest" are no longer working. Our social and political institutions are breaking down and failing us.

     What we need is a spiritual awakening.

     And that means: We must find out what higher intelligence wants us to do, and how to go about doing it.

     "The reason we were given psychic ability," he told us, "is so that we can use it to find out what we were sent here to do and how to do it successfully."

     If you are ready to move into the Second Phase of Human Evolution on the Planet, then please join us. There are many different options on this web site for you to choose from, so please select the one that best suits your needs and come along with us on this exciting journey.


The secret of success is no secret to us,

we've been teaching people since 1966:



"Success depends on how you use your mind"



Finding the secret to success

     If you are like me, you have probably wondered what it is that makes some people so much more successful than others.



     Being born to wealth and privilege doesn't guarantee success in life, nor does growing up in poverty condemns one to failure.



     Success doesn't depend on how much or how little formal education you have, and it never has. The ultra successful people often aren't smarter than everybody else, nor do they work harder or have more desire.



     So what is the difference between the ultra successful and the average person?



     We have found 4 characteristics common to the Ultra Successful people:



Relax and relieve stress, to maintain a sort of self mind control so that they can use more of their energies and emotions to help them achieve success


They are able to use their subconscious to work for them rather than against them, so that they can overcome impediments and limitations and move towards success like a magnet seeking out the North Pole


Definite chief aim in life, a life purpose, a mission that drives them


Use their intuition to help them make better decisions and fewer mistakes, and to obtain guidance from the same higher power that all ultra successful people acknowledge guides them



     Let’s look at each of these characteristics and see how you can develop the same traits that the ultra successful people have.



Learn to meditate like a monk in 2 days

     Uncontrolled stress can hurt your health, hamper your relationships, curtail your ability to concentrate and learn, lower your productivity and creativity and problem solving ability, and undermine your self-confidence and happiness. When you program your mind to put those energies to work for you instead of against you, as you learn in the Silva Method, they can propel you to the success you crave. That's what happened to Bucky Dent.



     Russell "Bucky" Dent was a young baseball player with the Chicago White Sox when he first learned the Silva Method in 1975, along with several of his Chicago White Sox teammates. In 1978, after joining the New York Yankees, he contributions were so great that when they won the World Series, they named him their Most Valuable Player (MVP).

     “The Silva Method helped me with my concentration, and it helped me to relax before the pressures of a game,” Dent told us in 1992 after he had become the manager of the Yankees. He added that, "I would recommend it to my younger players."



     Dr. Wayne Dwyer, motivational speaker, author, and one of the most popular self-improvement "gurus" said on page 273 of his best selling book Real Magic, "I have used the Silva Method for many years. It has helped me overcome illnesses and accidents and avoid surgery. I urge you to attend Mr. Silva's training sessions that are presented around the world." He also demonstrated that he understands Jose Silva's UltraMind concept when he said on a recent television program that you can learn to influence the coincidences in your life.



     Many physicians have found the Silva Method tools invaluable - even life saving. Oncologist Dr. O. Carl Simonton, author of Getting Well Again, said, when he was the featured speaker at the Silva Method convention in 1974, “It is the most powerful single tool that I have to offer... in teaching the patient how to become involved in his own health



Use the subconscious consciously with

the Silva Dynamic Meditation System

     Use the subconscious consciously. Once you learn to relax and relieve stress, then you can start changing your life for the better.

     There is an old saying that "Mind guides brain and brain guides body." Does science bear this out? Yes it does. He is a simple experiment you can do to demonstrate it to yourself (you will need a friend to help you).


Hold one arm out straight to your side, parallel to the floor, hand open, thumb pointing down. Have your friend test your strength by pushing your arm down while you resist. (If you are too strong for your friend, then test your strength by forming a circle with the thumb and first finger of either of your hands, holding them tightly together and seeing if your friend can pull them apart.)


Now relax for a moment. When you are ready, hold your arm out again in the same position but this time think about a time when you lost, when you were defeated and humiliated, when you felt terrible about your loss. While holding this thought, have your friend test your strength again. This time your friend will find it much easier to push your arm down.


Relax again. Then think about your most recent victory, a very satisfying success, one that you are proud of. Once again have your friend test your strength. You will be much stronger when thinking about success.


     Have your friend test your strength as you think about different experiences, different people and your experiences with them. You will find that when you are confident, you are strong; when you have doubts, you are weak. Your mind definitely controls your body by directing and regulating the neurotransmitters in your brain.



     Shakti Gawain, author of numerous including Creative Visualization and Living in the Light, wrote: "One of the earliest workshops I took was the Silva Mind Control course.... The most important technique I learned in that course was the basic technique of creative visualization.... Our rational mind is like a computer.... The intuitive mind, on the other hand, seems to give access to an infinite supply of information. It appears to be able to tap into a deep storehouse of knowledge and wisdom..."



     Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and numerous other books, said "Creative visualization is what the Silva Method is all about." In Chapter 31 you can read how the Silva techniques helped him to complete his best-selling book Jonathan Livingston Seagull.



     World famous band leader Doc Severensen, conductor of the NBC Orchestra on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson for many years, took the course in 1980 said he has used it in many ways: in his personal life, his relationships, and even to help him compose music.



     Mark Victor Hansen, author of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul said, "If you can count, you can count on the Silva Method.”



Fulfill your mission in life

     Imagine having a guide who actually knows what lies ahead, who can guide you to success, happiness, and fulfillment.

     Have you ever felt like there was something more you should be doing with your life? A hidden talent ready to burst into success. Or a special mission, a soul purpose, you are ready to achieve?

     Wouldn't it be nice to have guidance from higher intelligence as to how to achieve all this?

     That’s what Jose Silva’s UltraMind ESP System is all about: To help you achieve the success you know that you are capable of achieving, and make the rest of your life, the best of your life!



     In 1971, researcher Napoleon Hill wrote in his book You Can Work Your Own Miracles, "Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford, Luther Burbank, Andrew Carnegie, Elmer R. Gates, and Dr. Alexander Graham Bell went to great lengths in their descriptions of their experiences with unseen guides, although some of these men did not refer to these invisible sources of aid as 'guides.' Dr. Bell, in particular, believed the invisible source of aid was nothing but a direct contact with Infinite Intelligence, brought about by the individual's stimulation of his own mind through a burning desire for the attainment of definite objectives."


Look what people are saying

Danielle Kennedy, Author of Selling-The Danielle Kennedy Way, says about Jose Silva’s Sales Power book, “Buy the book and do what it says."


Joe Girard, the World’s Number 1 Salesperson and author of How to Sell Anything to Anybody said, “It will make you the World’s Number 1 anything.”


Mark Victor Hansen, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul said, "If you can count, you can count on the Silva Method.”



Use your God-given intuition

     Napoleon Hill, who spent twenty years studying the most successful people in the world, proposed back in 1928 that the key difference was a special mental ability that the ultra successful people have. He said they can arouse their minds to go beyond the point at which the average human mind "stops rising or exploring." Then he added:



     "The individual who discovers a way to stimulate his mind artificially, arouse it and cause it to go beyond this average stopping point frequently, is sure to be rewarded with fame and fortune if his efforts are of a constructive nature."



     Hill understood that psychic ability was the foundation of everything, especially if you could also connect with a higher power for guidance.



     Although Hill apparently developed these abilities himself, he never found a way to teach them to others. He could teach people all of the other laws, but he was never able to unlock the secret how to teach people to develop and use their intuition on demand; he never found the key to train people to do this.



     Hill even went so far as to say that, "The educator who discovers a way to stimulate any mind and cause it to rise above this average stopping point without any bad reactionary effects, will confer a blessing on the human race second to none in the history of the world."



Are you a natural psychic... and don't know it?

     Learn to use your intuition accurately, reliably, and regularly with Jose Silva's UltraMind ESP System. Find and fulfill your purpose in life, and make better decisions in all areas of your life, by learning to use your own inborn ESP that you already have within you just waiting to be released.

     Have you ever just thought of somebody and the phone rings and it's the same person? Or perhaps you say something at exactly the same time as a friend says it or thinks it!

     This is your own natural intuition at work.

     Now you can easily develop your own ESP and learn to project your mind and detect information to help you make better decisions about health, relationships, business, personal development, and even your purpose in life.


What the SilvaMind Program consists of

A Verdict!!

After 15....yes, 15 hours of deliberation, we have a verdict!!!  At around 3:30 pm this afternoon, the jury in the case against Dale Neumann came back with a verdict.  Finally.  I was seriously afraid that it would be a hung jury and it would start all over again with a new jury.  But, no, the jury finally was able to come to a consensus.

 

And a GOOD one at that.  We the jury, find Dale Neumann.....an idiot.  No, unfortunately that's not against the law, even though it should be.  He was found GUILTY of second degree reckless homicide, in the death of his 11 year old daughter!!  :D  <---- smiles at the verdict, not the death of his daughter.  I didn't celebrate as loudly as I did when his wife was convicted because I feel like ass today, but I still am thrilled with the verdict.

 

When the guilty verdict was read, he showed NO emotion.  What does that tell you?  A gag order is still in effect, meaning that no one from the prosecutors office, defense attorney, Dale Neumann himself, are allowed to comment.  But, as he left the courtroom, Neumann was heard humming a song and seen carrying his Bible.  Sentencing is in October at the same time as his wife's.  They both are out on bail right now and will continue to be.

 

Apparently because of these two trials, the county's budget is in the red and will need to dip into an emergency fund.  The county taxpayers paid $30k for attorney and jury expenses before Dale Neumann's verdict was read, and the Clerk of Courts says that they would likely end up contributing to the emergency fund as well.  And, when you think about it, the taxpayers are also paying for both Neumann's prison time.  We're bending over and taking it in the ass for them killing their daughter.  Doesn't seem like true justice, does it?

 

You can read more or watch video at WSAW.com.

 
 
 

   
Friday Trial News

Today closing statements were given in the trial against 47 year old Dale Neumann.  He is being tried for second degree reckless homicide in the death of his daughter Kara, 11.  She died from untreated diabetes in March 2008.  His wife, Leilani, was convicted of the same charges in May 2009. 

 

The prosecutor said that the failure to obtain medical treatment was a substantial factor in causing Kara's death.  He said that she'd been limp like a rag doll and comatose the entire morning of her death and there had been plenty of time to save her life; according to testimony by medical personnel, she didn't have the normal appearance of a child at all.  The prosecutor stated that diabetes is easily treated and untreated diabetes results in death (which is why I take my insulin!!).  He argued that Neumann did nothing to put an end to Kara's suffering and misery, and while he had medical training as a former deputy sheriff, he minimized his daughter's condition.  The prosecutor emphasized that Neumann made Kara's illness a test of his own faith and asked the jury to find Neumann guilty of second degree reckless homicide.

 

The defense attorney said the state hasn't proven basic elements of the case; he said that dispatch helped cause Kara's death by not initially sending an ambulance after being told of Kara's comatose state.  He also says that the state didn't bring one witness to prove Neumann was phony or aware his actions of faith healing would cause Kara's death. 

 

The prosecutor rebutted to the closing argument stating that Kara lying there for hours and hours and not being given medical treatment was a substantial factor.  The prosecutor then tells the jury that they should find the great bodily harm reason to convict, if they can't convict on Neumann's awareness she would die.

 

The jury started deliberating around 10:30 am.  It got to be around dinner time and it was announced they had not reached a verdict.  They chose to keep going for a while before taking a dinner break.  Around 7 they took a break for dinner, and it was around 8:30 pm they interrupted television to announce that the jury would be sequestered for the evening in a hotel and in the morning they would go back to the courthouse to return to deliberations.  It seems the jury is at an impasse.  Deadlocked.  Cannot come to a unanimous decision. 

 

In Leilani's trial, they reached a verdict in around 4 hours.  This time?  10 hours and nothing.  The bastard is gonna get off, and why?  Perhaps because he ranted like a crazy man on the stand.  I've never been on a jury, but I know that the more people that have to make a decision on something, the more difficult.  You have conflicting personalities from different backgrounds and ways of thinking.  What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall in that jury room.  I suppose no one will really know until afterward when the jurors are more able to talk about things that may have swayed their decision.

 

Hopefully the next time I blog about this, it will be with a verdict.  Even more, to announce a guilty verdict. 

It's not right to just sit and pray when a child is dying, especially from something that is very curable.
