My prediction is not guilty as well, AP.

The best the defense was hoping for was a hung jury. The chances of 12 people all coming to the conclusion of "not guilty" are very small, given what the jurors asked for while in the jury room.

Guilty will be the verdict.

Opposite. The prosecution must prove beyond a shadow of a doubt. We had an open and shut case and still had to convince two jurors.

Unless the jury consists of people with balls, then it will be not guilty.

You know, there is only ONE good thing that will come out of a not guilty verdict--we don't have to see these damned Westerfield threads any more. Just a week or so of "victory laps" and that will be the end of it.

I wonder what the "regulars" will do with their free time if that happens?
