Ariel Castro indicted on aggravated murder, rape, kidnapping charges

[Travelman]

17. 329 counts?

Surely the prosecution is hoping for a plea deal. I can't imagine finding out that you're on a jury that has to decide 329 freaking counts of an indictment. Leaving aside everything else (e.g. a trial that would probably take a year or more in court), just reading of the verdict would take hours:

On the first count of the indictment, how do you find?
Guilty.
On the second count of the indictment, how do you find?
Guilty.
On the third count of the indictment, how do you find?
Guilty.
On the fourth count of the indictment, how do you find?
Guilty.
On the fifth count of the indictment, how do you find?
Guilty.
On the sixth count of the indictment, how do you find?
Jesus Christ! How long is this going to take? I need a nap already just from dealing with this....
