2. thank you

[Nevilledog]

3. TY

[Beetwasher.]

4. Pretty Quick, I Think That's A Good Sign

It would mean they came to it quickly with little resistance from holdouts.

[riversedge]

12. My thought also.

[Ninga]

5. How did you learn.

[Ms. Toad]

6. Court TV n/T

[Staph]

7. CNN just said the verdict will be read at 4:30.

[Ninga]

8. Thx.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

28. Ty nt

[Ms. Toad]

10. Court TV says 4 PM CT/5 PM ET.

But it will all settle out eventually.

11. Firing Squad @ Dawn

Just an idea. I want to see him dragged out and tied to a post .... just to see the fear on his face. And then put into prison for life.

[applegrove]

13. CNN says it was going to be out between 3:30 and 4:30 PM EST. Also

it is not a hung jury.

[Johnny2X2X]

14. I think this was good timing

Too quick and it's not good, too long and it's an acquittal. A solid day of reviewing the evidence and they've come to an agreement.

[Beaverhausen]

21. Not how it happened with OJ

I'm scared as hell of an acquittal

[Johnny2X2X]

22. OJ was a couple hours

This was last night and all day today.

Plenty of time to review the evidence.

[Towlie]

15. That means the verdict is guilty!

 
?

We don't yet know which among the three charges received the guilty verdict, but since they DID reach a verdict and it couldn't possibly have been a unanimous "not guilty", Derek Chauvin has been found guilty!

[Goonch]

16. CNN just said the verdict will be read "between 3:30 & 4:30"

[senseandsensibility]

17. At least we know it's not a hung jury

and the legal expert on CNN says she thinks it's a guilty on at least one charge.

[Sunsky]

18. Quick verdict

No questions asked. Wow. Nerve-wracking. Fingers crossed.

[left-of-center2012]

19. 4:30 Eastern Time per CNN n/t

[IcyPeas]

20. to my knowledge the jury didn't even ask any questions or ask to see any exhibits again

to clarify anything.

[Ms. Toad]

24. Correct.

Since I teach law, and we're in a lull right now (my students are taking their finals this week), I've had court TV on in the background constantly. No question, no requests to see exhibits.

Now - there was a difference from most trials here, in that they went back with most of the exhibits at their disposal.

[IcyPeas]

26. is it unusual for a jury in this type of a high profile case to not have any questions ?

[Ms. Toad]

27. My practice waslargely transactional

(licenses, mergers and acquisitons, contracts) and intellectual property so I don't have enough courtroom experience to evaluate.

25. Prediction: Guilty Murder 3, he'll get 96 months, out in about 72 months

[Rustyeye77]

29. I agree...but longer than 96 months.
