The Jury will not be sequestered or deliberate over the weekend. If he has already planned for this, he should be able to escape.
If he is sitting in court when a guilty verdict comes in.........it's handcuffs and off to jail to await sentencing. Well, unless his lawyer gets the Judge to let him out pending appeal etc....and I seriously doubt that would happen.
So if there is no way he would be free after a conviction, if he is going to escape it, he has to kill himself or flee THIS weekend. Or risk the jury's decision. I don't see him risking it. Unless there is a conviction tonight.
