any clue why they deliberated for so long? I haven't been following the story, but have just heard brief accounts of undisputed child porn on his computer, blood, hair, etc. Ostensibly seemed open and shut...

There was three months' worth of evidence... It takes time to go through it... I'm not upset it took them this long... He's been sitting in jail the whole time...

I haven't been closely watching either. I heard on the radio this morning that the verdict was coming in, so I wanted to post the verdicts for everyone.
My personal opinion on the reason the deliberations took so long is there were one or more jurors holding out on the guilty verdicts. Those jurors know there will be a penalty phase, and, possibly in about 100 years, he may get the death penalty.
