I think everyone is too conspiracy minded, and many of us will believe any rumors based upon whom is reporting it and is it something we want to hear, myself included. There were rumors earlier that 2 jurors would not vote for acquittal because they were afraid of the mob; yesterday there was a rumor that it ws taking so long because the jury was deadlocked 6-6 and a hung jury was likely.
I would say now with the solid NOT GUILTY votes that it’s most likely that none of the rumors were true; that the reason it took them 4 days to reach a verdict is because the jurors wanted to do their due dilligence and make certain they’re correct.
The bottom is, nobody knows squat until the verdict is read.
I can’t argue with anything you said. I saw the rumors you referenced, and even though I take everything with a grain of salt, it did cause some doubt in my mind about the verdict. I’m just glad it turned out like it did.
