4 tidbits about the jury deliberations in the Dunn trial:

@goldietaylor:
It would appear they are hung up on self defense. That leaves no room for conviction on any of the lesser charges.

@danabrams:
If #DunnTrial jury agreed on all counts but one it's hard to think of realistic scenario where it could mean anything but conviction

@SunnyHostin:
If Dunn is convicted of 3 attempted murder counts, penalty is 20 yrs each & must run consecutively. 60 yrs plus up to 15 on missiles.

@LynnMorg:
Drew Peterson-14 hours
Sandusky-20 hours
Scott Peterson--SEVEN DAYS
Menedez Brothers--4 DAYS

and there is no law against speculation.....besides...I have also been on a jury for a murder trial...in a southern town...where the other jurors were upper middle class Whites and the defendant and victim were poor and Black. I know what "I" heard in there during the deliberations....and I was horrified.

You have no idea what is going on yet in multiple threads I have seen you try to push your opinion as fact.

All of them

It means she and her whole team has lost all credibility prosecuting
any type of high profile case.

She's done if he walks

It's going to be 2nd degree and several counts of attempted murder. Hopefully Hostin is correct that they will run them consecutive.
