seems like in their zeal to be ‘first with the worst’ they neglected to mention just exactly what that verdict was
I don’t think that was neglect. The announcement that there is a verdict comes before the announcement of the actual verdict, as a call for everyone to return to the courtroom.
Most news outlets have put up stories like this. I just happened to choose this one. I suppose the media was alerted as were the defendants so they can assemble at the court room. The media does a lot of crappy stuff - I’m not sure this situation is part of the crap. JMHO.
