1. I'm really surprised

that they would have to deliberate more than ten minutes before finding him guilty.

2. I'm going to guess that there's a juror in his corner...

an Alex Jones/Faux/Limbaugh fan.

3. yep

7. Could it be the new juror?

The one that replaced the "sick juror".

4. Sounds like Manafort all over again.

5. yea for real

how difficult can it be?? Oh well I never did jury duty, so the jurors are confused or something. Geez convict the guy, he's another surrogate of Roy Cohn.

6. I think I heard Glenn Kirschner say that there was concern from jury over one aspect of third count

(apparently juries picked up on a prosecutor error in claiming Credico was named by Stone as his intermediary).

It isn't clear the jury is having trouble with all the counts.

8. There are seven charges

It sounds like they are confused about the language of only one of those charges. That's understandable.

9. I think I can see why. It was Stone's attornys who later said in a letter it was Credico.

The judge said not to consider the letter as evidence. I can see Jurors' frustration.
