That punishment may be dealt out next week.
Monday and Tuesday are closing arguments. Then It will take time for Deering to go over jury instructions and I think there is still a Motion, at least one, to rule on. Then the jury will need alot of time to go over so much evidence.
We most likely will get to hear what the jury requests to hear or see again while they are in deliberations. You know, the jury gives a message to the judge they want to see such and such piece of evidence again, or read such and such transcript again etc....
The jury has 22 charges so it will take longer. Could take a few weeks before we get verdicts.
They say, (not fact) that if a jury gives a quick verdict it means a better chance the defendant will be found not guilty.

"Quick verdicts generally favor the defendant. As hours stretch on, it signals that jurors are taking evidence seriously and consider the evidence to have at least some validity. This deep study of verdicts says the reason that convictions often take longer is that the burden of proof is on the prosecution."
