agree - there was no hung jury. judge would have ordered them to deliberate and they would have sent a note to the judge that was reported.

which indicates this is a guilty verdict.

I would be shocked if they did a quick not guilty.

There's no way that not one person out of 12 believes Chauvin is guilty, at the very least of manslaughter.

you’d be surprised how intimidated jurors can get and be easily influenced to go along with the group.

DCUM legal eagles: what are the chances that he's convicted of only some of the charges, given that the verdict is back already?

It's gotta be a guilty verdict since they reached a fast verdict.

Verdict is in. Being read before COB today.

They're coming back in now.

It doesn’t look like the jury sent any questions out. Sending questions out usually indicates there may be jurors who aren’t convinced, at least of some of the counts. It takes a unanimous decision to convict, and I find it hard to believe that there weren’t at least some jurors who were convinced by the prosecution. For example in the Yanez trial, the jury sent questions out, including a note that suggested they were deadlocked.
