The judge has said that she’s going to hold the verdict for two whole hours to give police an opportunity to get prepared.

That’s not going to be long enough. She needs to hold it until early morning on the Saturday following. It’s not just a matter of the cops being ready, the urban cores need to be cleared of suburbanite workers who will get caught in the middle of whatever happens. And very few employers, particularly outside the immediate vicinity of the trial, are going to tell or permit their employees to go home.

she’s going to hold the verdict for two whole hours...

Keeping the lid on may be difficult. Why doesn't she just release the verdict one letter per hour... "G" tic toc tic toc.... "U" tic toc tic toc...

The lowinfo's will only have a foggy notion of the result till the last letter, perhaps 10 hours later, and that public the way it is, the verdict realization will be staggered.

Holding the verdict will signal a Not Guilty verdict and will trigger the riots. "Protestors" won't wait 5 minutes.

She needs to hold it until a snowfall!

I wonder how gun sales and CCW applications are doing right now?

I have a suspicion that the reason the jury is white women is that the defense excluded blacks, and the prosecution excluded gun owners.
