It's usually pretty quick. I don't see the families in the courtroom yet.

 

[Indianagirl]

News just said jury will be brought in, in about 10 minutes.

Man, I had the volume all the way up in case there was a verdict and my ears were blasted.........................nervous ninnies right now.............hold on.

 

[lonetraveler]

I'm a bit nervous that the jury will find him guilty and the judge will throw the verdict out.

I hope they find him guilty on all charges. I doubt he will get the DP unfortunately. Actually I doubt they will give him LWOP either. I think they will punish him severly - not a severely as I would wish though.

ETA: After this verdict I want to talk about Daphne's possible involvement more. I read most of the other threads on these trials but somehow managed to miss that bit of info.

I think he might want to, but I don't think he will. If the jury says he was criminally responsible instead of guilty of facilitation, I do expect a lot of controversy over it and the technicalities of the law.

This was much faster than I'd feared... just not sure what that means...

This is quickest verdict so far, not sure who that benefits

Judge will read over verdict 1st so bit of lag time

The judge did reserve the right to rule on article 29 for acquittal. I truly hope he does not do this.
