(19,253 posts)Too quick and it's not good, too long and it's an acquittal. A solid day of reviewing the evidence and they've come to an agreement.

We don't yet know which among the three charges received the guilty verdict, but since they DID reach a verdict and it couldn't possibly have been a unanimous "not guilty", Derek Chauvin has been found guilty!

Now - there was a difference from most trials here, in that they went back with most of the exhibits at their disposal.
