<I'm not an attorney, but to me the jury didn't take time to fully review the facts of the case before rendering a verdict. That's grounds for an appeal.

i am an attorney. i don't worry so much about the time it took to reach a verdict as being grounds for an appeal. they heard the evidence in the courtroom. if everyone thought she was guilty and they took a poll as soon as they entered the jury room, and they agreed w/each other, why waste time?

however, i was able to watch most of the case and think she might have grounds to appeal on ineffective assistance of counsel. i didn't want her to get off due to some fancy footwork by counsel, however, there were times when he didn't object, there were expert witnesses he could have called, etc.

just a thought, i'm not looking to free her. i'd be happy to seal her cell door shut. just don't be surprised when the appeal is filed.

The appeal will be filed. The verdict will be overturned because she had an inadequate defense. A high profile attorney will take her case. She will be retried and convicted of a lesser crime.
