Redirect Notice

Following an afternoon lunch break, Judge Beverly Cannone called everyone back to court and announced that the jury had initially reached a verdict.

However, upon returning from lunch, Cannone said the jury indicated that they had not reached a verdict.

During the luncheon break, I received word from a court officer that the jury had knocked on the door, indicating that they had a verdict. But before I could even summon everybody into court, you know, shortly thereafter, they knocked again and said they didn’t have a verdict. So I asked the court officer to tell them to put that verdict slip in an envelope, and seal it up,“ Cannone told the court. ”I haven’t seen it, it’s been sealed... No one will have access to it. It will be preserved... I’m going to ask it to be marked for identification with the word ‘jury.’"

Cannone added, “There is no verdict unless it is announced and recorded in open court.”

A few minutes later, after the confusion, there was an announcement that a verdict had been reached

I know in this kind of situation, there's always someone left not happy with the result. But at the very least I hope they can find peace and draw a line under things.

O’Keefe family is here. Court officers are giving instructions. Asking everyone to keep their emotions in check and add verdicts can be emotional.
