I’m really proud of the jury. Since they took a while to reach a verdict, the Missus was predicting that he’d walk, saying that when the jury takes a while it’s an indication of inability to agree.
They probably had it all ironed out by dinner time; but knowing that once they announced a verdict they’d be tied up for quite a while.
So they went to dinner, and afterward probably checked one another out to cement the fact that they were all on the same page, and then they lowered the boom on that creep Sandusky!
I was on a jury many years ago and we reached the verdict around lunch time. We were all close to starving and unanimously voted to get the free box lunch and then tell them we had decided.
