Ok. Most probably know I'm not usually one to speculate on outcomes, but I can't help myself on this one. I hope I'm wrong but I think they'll convict on at least one charge. My reasoning:
ReplyDeleteThey deliberated for five days. Not sure if that's a good or bad sign, but they waited until today to read the verdict rather than stick around a read it yesterday.
They say they held off because one of the jurors had to leave early. I would think if they were going to acquit on all charges they would have insisted the juror stick around so they could read the not- guilty verdict and let Gunderson out of jail. Hard for me to imagine they'd all let him spend another night in jail just cause one juror had to go somewhere.
But maybe I'm wrong.
