Manafort question:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Normally juries are not told what the penalty might be because that could affect their decision.

In any event, the actual sentence wouldn't be known until the sentencing because there are sentencing guidelines that allow for a range of penalties. Also, it would depend on whether the sentences are made concurrent (served at the same time) or consecutive (tacked on one after another), and I'm not sure if consecutive sentences are even possible for these crimes under the federal sentencing guidelines. I'm sure they know Manafort will go to prison if he's convicted. On TV they just said Manafort could serve up to 14 years under the sentencing guidelines.

The reason it has taken several days (which isn't long at all for a case this complicated) is more likely because of the factual complexity and the number of documents the jury has had to review.
