Did you ever work for CBS News?
I either did or I didn't. Likewise, I may or may not. Here's an expert analysis from CNN:

This is a live thread for the reading of the verdict?
That was a bad move on their part. Mesereau should have told them to stay away altogether. Who knows if they would have listened to him.
Almost makes me wonder if blondes travel in packs.
LOL
;-\
"There is no way in hades that a California jury will convict a black celebrity!"
Yeah, but what about Michael Jackson?
I wish I was right........but maybe you're right; you know, juries now want to at least give the impression of doing the right thing. :-)
Is the jury working this weekend?
OMG, no! he didn't???
"Didn't they prove that the kids opened up the locked cabinet and helped themselves without permission? ANd that no alcohol was given to the kids on the plane...only MJ?"
I recall the testimony being that he (MJ) put alcohol in coke cans and called it Jesus juice.
The main attraction will be the Sit on MJ's Lap ride, boys 8-12 only.
Don't believe the jury is working this weekend but I do know that they're not sequestered.
I also think the verdict will be guilty. He doesn't have an OJ jury, and he isn't a sympathetic character.
At a minimum it needs to find him guitly of providing booze to minors and possessing child porn. Those two convictions plus the reckless cosmetic surgery warrant should get him at least some jail time.
I always wonder how many jurors go into deliberations with their minds already made up.
I wonder how many minds can be changed in a closing argument, really.
You could be right in it being quick if the jury thinks he's as sick as the rest of us do.
I heard he is going to move over seas if he gets to WALK
I wonder that myself. I was called to jury duty not long ago; it turned out to be a cocaine selling case; when they asked me if I thought I could be open minded and fair, I said no........LOL. I was excused.
But, hey, I was honest! What if I had stayed on the jury? From seeing me post around FR, do you think I could "sway" a jury? :-)
reporters seem to think they will come up with verdict today. My guess is a tampered jury.
They are going home today no later than 5:30 PDT.
Don't the alternates stay in case a juror hs to be replaced?
I heard they asked him to be there within 10 minutes at all times now. Is there a weekend break? Is there any time for him to escape? What about if he is convicted? Is he taken away in cuffs right then?
