My educated guess is that the verdict will be guilty on all counts. It is a certainty that the majority of the jurors would vote guilty (as 95% of the rest of America) so if there were any jurors favoring acquittal, the rest of the jurors would take days and days to wear them down.

I was on a murder trial myself a few years ago (as a juror) and within a couple of hours of reviewing the evidence, we took a poll and only one of the jurors did not vote guilty the first time around. It took us a couple more days to pound away at the evidence before that last juror finally came around. But no way were we just walking out of there without a fight to set a killer free just because we didn't have unanimous agreement at the get-go. If we had to fight for the guilty verdict for weeks or deadlock, that's what we would have done.

Time for the defendant to modify that tattoo of hers. It is not going to be a beautiful life for her.

Of course, you are exactly RIGHT. Casey's day of reckoning is here at last.

I think your analysis is absolutely right.
