certainly one of those.

or not.

Let’s speculate they finish.

Do they issue verdict tonight or wait until the morning? 

If I'm on the jury I want to get the hell out of dodge.  So tonight.

But I don't think staying until 6:15 really means much of anything.  Might just mean that they are in the middle of something and don't want to quit right at 5 or 5:30.

I say tonight.  If I am a rural juror, I want to GTFO.

The Irma Luhrman-Merman murder
Turned the bird's word lurid
The whir and the purr of a twirler girl
She would the world were demurer
The insurer's allure
For valor were pure Kari Wuhrer
One fervid whirl over her turgid error
Rural juror
Rural juror
I will never forget you
Rural juror
I'll always be glad I met you
Rural juror

Another fucking day.  I'm guessing there's a Trumptard or two that are not going to be swayed no matter the evidence...

Depends on what dear leader tells them to think about it.

That's where we are.

I’m leaning that they have already agreed to convict on some charges but still working through the complicated bank fraud charges. 

This shit takes time.  

Manafort needs to only be found guilty on ONE charge to be fucked. 

Patience people.

The only  way you would know that is by talking to a juror or talking to someone who has talked to a juror, which, in either case, would call for an almost instant mistrial, if discovered.

Well no shit.  We’re all just speculating here. Others are speculating a juror or two is hung across the board.  

I’m offering alternative speculation because I don’t think there’s a trumptard juror obstructing a conviction.

but none of us know

That's just how plugged in you are, bro.  People think you may really be privy to that type of info.  LMK if you are ever $9.95 short in life...

My speculation is similar except I’d guess it’s the tax charges which are less certain. The bank fraud seems pretty straight forward with Manafort trying to modify PDFs. But who knows. (And for fucks sake people, this isn’t a news channel. Without speculation, it’d be nothing but fart jokes and middle age men ogling fat tits, NTTAWWT.)

Shit, I misread that as "hearing," rather than "leaning." Sorry.

Predict the post verdict tweet game.  Closest wins 100 points. 

Not guilty across the board:  Rigged Witch Hunt fell apart like I knew! Mueller must shut down 27 Angry Democrats or waist how much more money! Or time to switch to Clinton Collusion?

Few convictions: Fake News told you he was a MASSIVE criminal. $12 mil to find out he miswrote on some forms?? RIGGED! 

PMITA prison: 17 Very Conflicted Democrats try to tie Manafort to your favorite President for acts a decade before I knew him? Very Unfair to Paul but vindicated NO COLLUSION!  Sad jury was not allowed to see info on OHR.

You are underestimating the number of angry democrats.  If they convinct, Trump will announce the jurors are all angry democrats.

Definitely possible but if a juror or two was refusing to go along with the evidence and/or the others, I would think they would be talking to the judge by now.

I don’t think it is a total holdout either.  I think asking for more time today was a sign of some convictions.  They were working toward something and thought they could get done with extra time, and that extra time wasn’t enough. “Fuck it, he’s walking and that’s final” takes no time.  

Yikes.  Does that mean “there is a single count we haven’t agreed on”?  Or “there are no counts we’ve agreed on”?  It seems like the latter.  This is a nightmare scenario for me.

What does that mean?  They came to a consensus on 17 of the 18 counts, but are deadlocked on 1?  Or they can't come to a consensus on any count?

Not sure how I understand that note?

Can't come to consensus on a single count -- does that mean there's ONE count they can't come to consensus on, or they can't come to consensus on ANY counts?  As in "we don't agree on a single thing."  

My inclination is to think it's the former, because otherwise, they're just plain deadlocked all the way around, and that's what they'd have said.  This seems to indicate that they're deadlocked on ONE count.  Interesting.

EDIT -- and I see that all of our replies share the same confusion.

I think it means they agree on all the counts (either guilty or not), except for one.

 

edit: or what all those other legal assholes said.

I think the former

There is no way they are deadlocked on every count.  If they are then there is a lot of politics going on inside the deliberations.

Which of the counts would appear to be an outlier that they might stall out on?

I would hope that any decent attorney would be able to spot a Trumptard during the voir dire process and strike him/her. They are generally pretty easy to ID. Shit, they probably proudly wore their MAGGOT hats to the courthouse. If not, the mouth breathing and having read while moving their lips is a dead give away.

Especially if there is consensus on the others.  “Just give me an answer. Nobody gives a fuck if he’s guilty of the very last charge.”

That would explain the extension yesterday. They are just stuck on one and you have to assume the others are guilty. /notalawyerbutstayedataholidayinnlastnight

Good point.  They thought they were almost done yesterday.    Makes sense they’d ask for extra time if there were only a few they needed to finish

Over 60 white dude with a gray goatee and white leather Nikes= 75% chance of Trumptard.

5x multiplier if he's wearing a Harley or Patriotic T shirt. 

Lawyers: In a case with multiple charges like this, is there some requirement for allowing a partial verdict vs. all/none?

I have no experience from the criminal side of it, but based on Judge Ellis' comment to the jury the answer appears to be yes as to a partial verdict. 

 I guess the next version of a nightmare scenario is that the only way the very last charge would matter is if he’s not guilty on all of the other ones and so it’s a question of whether he walks free or have something on his record.  Thus the jury found it important to ask the judge.

This is my assumption at this point.
