I'm pretty sure the jurors had to sign the verdict forms, and therefore too late to change minds. The probably came early today to do the paperwork, leaving plenty of time the rest of today to read the verdict and be released from service. Now they have to come back Monday.
If I am not mistaken, even though they possibly signed all the forms, what will happen is the judge will poll the jury to ask them if they agree with the verdict form.
So on Monday there is still a chance for a Juror to have second thoughts about what they signed and they may object to their own guilty or not-guilty verdict during verbal polling of the jury.
So I dont think its official until after the verbal polling of the jury by the judge.
