So what do people actually think (not hope, or are afraid of) will happen here? There are what, 51 counts, I don't know which counts go with which victims. I don't see an entire hung jury. I see guilty at least on the first few victims, there may be "not guilty by reasonable doubt" on the one whose mother was supposedly bragging about money and/or the ones who didn't testify, but I am guessing at least some of the counts will be hung. Still it won't matter in terms of his sentence, a conviction on any (for example the one who said he treated him like his girlfriend) will basically send him to jail for the rest of his life, and I don't think the # of guilty counts will determine what prison he gets sent to or if he gets isolation from gen pop.

So guilty on 20-30, maybe hung on the rest...what do you all think?

The longer deliberations are usually good for the defense because that means there are members of the jury that harbor some doubt. But in a case like this, with multiple charges and multiple victims, the jury will be deliberating quite a while either way.

The Casey Anthony verdict was, to that extent, quite stunning because the jury came back Not Guilty so quickly after such a lengthy trial. I actually thought they got it right but there was no way to fairly deliberate 33 days worth of testimony in the amount of time it took them.

the only reason the Casey Anthony jury 'got it right' was because the prosecution were blithering idiots. personally, i am of the opinion that the jury did NOT 'get it right.' those morons seemed to have forgotten that they were allowed to convict her of a lesser charge. did she deserve the death penalty? based on the evidence, no. was she ultimately responsible for her child's death? yes. she was (and is) guilty of 2nd degree manslaughter at most, and child neglect and culpable negligence at the very least. (all as defined by the State of Florida.)

bitch should have gone to jail.

without the Comstock Lode, and Nevada's subsequent admission to the Union in 1864, the Union doesn't win the War. chew on that.

And Saudi Arabia has the world's largest oil reserves.

Both are still shit holes.

Revisionist history aside Nevada was a US territory and was under martial law through out the conflict, the silver was going to US coffers regardless.

It was a murder case and they had no cause of death. It was kind of a problem. She was probably guilty but "probably" doesn't cut it in criminal court.

They shouldn't have any problem convicting Sandusky. If the do, it's time let Happy Valley secede from the Union.

Given the level of batshit we've seen coming out of Central Pennsylvania since last November, I fully expect it comes back a hung jury across the board. It only takes one for that to happen. I'll be shocked if it doesn't. These people, by and large, are mutants.

Lawyer question: If it comes back hung, how long before Texas can file charges and request extradition?

I'd love to see this in a San Antonio courtroom where the case would, to a great degree, focus on explicit links between JS and the football program as a medium for his predatory actions and be put in the hands of prosecutors and in front of a judge and jury that could give two [censored]s about JoePed or Ped Aggy and their reputations and legacies.
