I'm surprised no one has responded to this post yet. Lincolne, where are you?!? Reading the jury questions made me understand why the judge wouldn't release the questions prior to the verdict. Releasing these questions would have told the world exactly what the verdict would be. Follow along, and let me know if my logic is flawed. Count 1 (Conspiracy) is really the only independent charge. It is directly related to accepting Janet's testimony, which was corroborated by her children and refuted by many others. We all *knew* that it wouldn't fly. Counts 2 & 3 (Committed Lewd Acts) were linked with Count 6 (Attempted Lewd Act) and Counts 7 & 8 (Felony Alcohol or, if felony acquitted, Misdemeanor Alcohol). These counts directly related to Gavin's testimony, and as such were a "package deal". If you accept his testimony, you must accept each of these charges, and if you reject his testimony, you must reject them all. Furthermore, Counts 7 & 8 were specified in the charge to be attached to Counts 2 & 3. Counts 3 & 4 (Committing a Lewd Act on a Minor) were linked with Counts 9 & 10 (Felony Alcohol or, if felony acquitted, Misdemeanor Alcohol) to Star's testimony, both by specification and by evidentiary basis. The same ?package? rule applies; if his testimony was accepted, there would have been a conviction on each of these charges, and if it were rejected there would have to be an acquittal on all of these charges. While it may have been possible for the jury to accept Gavin's testimony and reject Star's testimony, there wasn't a snowball's chance in h*ll that the jury would accept Star's testimony and reject Gavin's.
