From link:

A verdict has been reached in the capital murder trial against former Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell.

The jury of seven women and five men weighed more than 250 charges against the Gosnell with the most serious being four counts of first-degree murder.

Earlier in the day, the jury told the court they were deadlocked on two counts. It is currently unclear on which charges the jury was deadlocked. The group told the court it had reached a consensus on all other counts.

Around 10:00 a.m. Monday, the jury passed a note to Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey P. Minehart explaining their situation. The admission came on the 10th day of deliberations.

By law, according to attorneys for both sides, Judge Minehart is required to re-instruct the jury to deliberate on the two charges a second time and attempt to reach a verdict.

The alleged crimes came to light on February 10, 2010 after investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Drug Enforcement Agency raided the inner-city clinic at 3801 Lancaster Avenue following a tip that a prescription pill mill was operating inside.

Agents were met, not with an illegal narcotics drug operation, but rather, unsanitary conditions. Investigators testified they found blood-stained rooms, filthy and old equipment and untrained staff. Aborted fetuses were stored in a basement freezer in plastic food containers and bags next to employee lunches. Severed feet from aborted babies were found preserved in jars around the clinic.

The conditions found inside the clinic led Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams to call the clinic a “house of horrors” in a 2011 grand jury report.

If convicted of first-degree murder, Gosnell faces the death penalty.

Should be guilty, but, after OJ, nothing that a jury does surprises me anymore.

Here we go.....

St Michael the Archangel, defend us in this day of battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, cast into hell satan & all other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

News reports are embargoed until after all of the verdicts have been announced. Reporters were told they may not leave the courtroom until completion. This could take awhile.

I suppose ABC/NBC/CBS/PBS/CNN/MSNBC have all broken into their normal programming with Breaking News 24-hr breaking news coverage and have reporters on the ground awaiting the announcement of the verdict... LOL.

Gosnell showed no emotion after hearing verdict, but the Assistant DA was in tears.

It shows us who was the human.
