what a wierd moment for cc--he either gets up and walks out on the street or never sees freedom again...thank God it was the latter--justice served and the jury obviously did a ton of work to be sure....kudos

actual deliberation might be only 2 or 3 hrs given all the breaks...

interesting in the Brad cooper trial-they debated 10 hrs before coming back with a guilty verdict....
hard to imagine mr public defender getting all 12 to go not guilty--I'd worry more about a hung jury....and hey it just may be that they are dotting every i and crossing every t here...if I was on a jury and was putting someone away for ever, I'd want to make sure I looked at the case from every...
just watched a video from Fox 2-said that there were buyers interested in the house once the trial is over...nice interview with a neighbor with 3 boys....(video is titled "neighbors await coleman decision"

he will probably be happy to get out of prison for a few days/weeks--imagine the boredom of day after day in the cell and same old routine-not that he doesnt deserve it, but he'd be excited for ANYTHING different...
I am sure that we'll see this case on many crime shows and perhaps even a Dateline show with a CC interview in prison (Still professing his innocence-maybe they can give him a lie detector test!)
closing arguments which are likely done by now--court closes at 5pm, but it's up the judge as to whether the jury can deliberate beyond that time--if they are close, my guess is he'll let it continue-if they are not, he'll send them home and start up tomorrow am...
