From local RW radio- McDonnell and his lawyer were as confident as Romney on election night [View all]
The local Richmond RW radio station had two reporters covering the trial.
McDonnell to reporters today walking into the courthouse "See you guys in a little while" All smiles.
Coming out he said he has faith in God that everything will work out. He said that everyday apparently.
His lawyer's only statement coming out of the courthouse was "We were not expecting THAT" emphasis added.
The two reporters and the host (they poo poo'ed the trial throughout) said that most observers thought that the bank and wire fraud charges would probably stick. One reporter said he talked to lawyers who said that the jury may have just felt they had "slammed him enough" on the conspiracy charges and gave both of them a pass on the fraud charges.
Bob faces 20 years. "Very little wiggle room for Federal judges" in sentencing. Fed Minimums require at least 85% of the max at sentencing.
