Yesterday I was at a business lunch, my forehead started beading up, and my gut had the unmistakable crampy feeling... last nights dinner showed up to kick my ass....
I knew I had to run the to mens room... but I had to rush through it as I didnt want my clients to think anything other than I was taking a leak...
I prayed to god, I prayed to jesus...
He answered my prayers... I got it done in two quick pushes, little watery, but made for a quicker clean up... which put me back at that table in about 2min’s...
Why the jury reaches a verdict (or hangs) is not recorded. The court may inquire or a juror may speak but the only thing that matters is yea, nay, or punt.
When a judge instructs a jury to further deliberate on a matter, details of such instruction are indeed noted and recorded. Thus we can know what particular issue of deliberation they are hung.
IE] : its not a secret as to what counts a jury can be hung, and on the basis of which a judge can subsequently Declare a mistrial.

Would citing case law convince you that US courts do accept the' God made me do it' as ones legal defence argument?
2012, defendant Renato Seabra had his attorneys tell a Manhattan jury just that.
Sinins and Touger told the jury that Seabra believed he was on a mission from God and that his murderous actions were a sort of exorcism.
The jury did not buy the God defence or even insanity as the cause.

A verse that tends to discourage reasonable discussion, questioning and healthy skepticism. Unless they are private, therefore nobody else's business, assumptions and beliefs are open to question.
... .. if he's truly propounding that "argument." An intelligent 5th grader should be able to blow that one away.
Well then, instead of all the huffing and puffing and displays of outrage, that should be done. Saying is not the same as doing.
Nitebirdy is all catholic smoke and mirrors, scant logical, rational objective substance.
His waffling arguments are so often and all so easily proven wrong. [yawn]
He avoids questions like i posed ealier,. Because its bring into serious question the value or validity of faith in a version of a God of their own subjective mind making.

is there any case on record where motive for the crime was attributed to a verifiable God?

It's pretty simple........Do not waste good things on people who will not appreciate them. This proverb is adapted from a saying of Jesus from the Gospels, “Cast not pearls before swine.” Jesus appears to be warning his disciples to preach only before receptive audiences.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

It has also been interpreted s Jesus telling his disciples that his teachings are for Jews only, and they should not try to convert gentiles.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
