I am no legal expert, but in the past when the jury has taken a while to deliberate, as they have in this case, doesnt that usually bode well for the defendent?

I didn't follow the case very closely at all but I have a feeling he'll be found guilty.

I hope so.

That it took so long has surprised me. That being said, since there are multiple charges, i think it might be a split verdict. This jury clearly took some time with some aspect of this case, and perhaps there was some lengthy discussion over one of the charges. That they have come back on a Monday also strikes me as interesting.

OK, just looked at the CNN website-there are 10 counts pending in this case. I do think he will be found guilty on at least one of the counts, but not guilty on the bulk of them.

Yep. From everything I've heard and read, the jury had mountains of evidence to sift through over the course of their deliberation. I'm guessing he is convicted on several counts... the molestation charge is key though. We shall see.

I think he will be found guilty on the worse counts.
I also heard something on CNN that if he is acquitted on a count of conspiracy, then he is not guilty on the rest. Anyhow, here's another thread on it.

I am not usually critical of a lot of things, but that flag with a picture of Michael Jackson is an insult to this country

It is on Yahoo, one of the too many stories about Michael.

Disrespecting the flag for any reason is just wrong.

Everything that I have read and heard indicates that the conspiracy case is pretty weak, and that he is unlikely to be convicted of that count.

OK, now all 3 networks are covering it-what a country :roll: :roll: :roll:

Nice of him to finally show up. What a jackass he is - 20 minutes late for his own verdict. :-?

He walks.

Not guilty on all charges.
