Doesn't look good for Manafort?

17 are GUILTY's?

[luckystarmom]

I’m thinking the opposite.

[Raebie]

No. It sounds like it means they AGREE on 17 counts. That doesn’t automatically imply he is guilty on those counts. Could be innocent.

I think it’s highly unlikely some of them aren’t guilty however.

[janetjanet998]

not sure? it could mean a single charge of the 18 charges or perhaps multiple single chargers within the group...

the media is going with a single charge(one) out of the 18 and they have reached a verdict on the other 17

[centurion316]

Either 17 of the counts are Guilty or they are Not Guilty. I can only imagine that if the one remaining count cannot be resolved, and the others are all guilty, then the Foreman would suggest that they vote Not guilty on that one and go home. Of course if the situation is the opposite, then they will continue to argue until someone is satisfied.

I’m guessing is that they have 17 counts of Not Guilty.

Most likely 17 are decided, one way or the other. The judge wants them to reach a verdict on #18. It’s not an all or nothing deal.
