[CBR]

2. Guilty. nt

[livetohike]

3. 40 minutes!

Wow. Well he confessed on the stand, so I guess the jury sat around doing crossword puzzles in the deliberation room so it didn't seem as if they rushed to judgement.

[eleny]

6. Yeah, how long does it take to pick a foreman and then take a first vote

[livetohike]

7. From my experience 5-10 minutes tops

It must have been a unanimous vote on the first take and they were just stalling so it didn't look bad.

[eleny]

12. They just said that the clock started ticking when the judge gave them the case to decide

[livetohike]

16. So they were hanging out in the jury room to make it look

like they took some time to deliberate :-).

[KharmaTrain]

11. Depends On How Many Counts They Have To Vote On...

Plus add in time for one last reading of the charges and instructions from the judge...a stop to the poweder room and a cup of coffee and donut. As long as they get the verdict right, that's all that matters.

[BOSSHOG]

10. I don't know if I should admit this

but I sat on a courts-martial board back in the 80's. It was kind of an easy verdict to get to but we decided to hang out in the room we were sequestered in a little longer because the lunch we were scheduled to get was sposed to be very good that day. It was. We rendered a verdict after lunch.

[livetohike]

15. I don't think that's uncommon BOSSHOG

I've only been on two juries in my life, but I remember in one of them some people wanted to drag it out another day so they didn't have to go to work.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Guilty with immediate application for appeal from conviction.

[cali]

5. wow. that was quick.

gotta be guilty. freepfucks will freak.

[notadmblnd]

8. I wonder what the jury will have for lunch?

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Maybe that's what's taking the 10 minutes...

They have to look at menus... :silly:

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Verdict to be delivered in less than 10 minutes... n/t

[madmax]

17. Lunch in less than 5 ;-)

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Do they even get lunch now?

They should have waited until they were fed... :silly:

[pruple]

13. no hung jury

The only question was could he persuade one juror and cause a mistrial, guess not.

[Maru Kitteh]

18. BURN IN YOUR HELL you sleazy pile of FECES.

whooo! I feel better.

Is the death penalty an option in this case? I hope so. And I hope the appeals go on for 23 years so he can suffer, and then fry. I'll be happy to pay the extra taxes.

[madmax]

20. I'm against the death penalty most of the time

but, in his case I'd reconsider, in memory of all the women who died by illegal abortions and coat hangers. WE WILL NOT GO BACK!

[Maru Kitteh]

27. right there with ya! n/t

[eleny]

19. truTV reported that there are even bomb sniffing dogs in the courtroom

They'll get the Tiller family out of the room after the verdict is read to keep them safe.

[Maru Kitteh]

21. I hope they find some measure of peace.

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Somebody speak! ArgH!

[eleny]

23. Guilty on all 3 counts

Guilty of first degree murder

[livetohike]

26. Yay!!

Thank you to the jury.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. GUILTY AS HELL! YEAH! THANK YOU KANSAS!

[arcadian]

25. Wow, two criminal freeper heroes going down in one week

[Vidar]

28. Kudos to the jury!

[SPedigrees]

30. He'll be 76 when he's eligible for parole.

Hopefully too old by then to cause harm to anyone else.
