Don’t they usually seal these verdicts for a while if they expect problems?

How could you seal a verdict?

What kind of justice would that be for the defendant who’s name has been slimed in the worst way?

A verdict must be “published” (by the way that is the official name for the act of reading the jury’s verdict before the court) so that the community knows that justice has been served and that the defendant if innocent can have his name cleared.

More Miami media bias!

Asking their "legal expert" if MOM was using FOX News (and George's interview with Hannity) as a TOOL to manipulate the trial!! LOL!! This from a liberal media that ONLY spews the racism of Benjamin Crump and Al Sharpton!!

I guess what I meant was temporarily seal it to delay the reading of the verdict for a while while they made sure authorities were in place. I thought they did that in the past when they feared unrest.
