Day 2 of deliberations. Makes me wonder if this is going to be a hung jury. No telling for sure, but still.

They deliberated for a total of about ten hours. That’s not enough to wonder about a hung jury.

There have been plenty of cases where juries come up with virdicts in shorter time. Those videos are the evidence. But that is why I said "no telling" right now for sure. 

EDIT......... Court TV reporting that the jury has reached a verdict, to be announced at 5pm EDT.

Verdict.

Part of their job was to pronounce guilt or innocence on three levels of charges. It wasn't a simple yes/no.

With multiple possibilities for a guilty verdict, they're probably sorting through the criteria for each one to determine which one fits the case best.

A verdict reached that quickly in a case with multiple counts tends towards a finding of ‘guilty’. Longer deliberations tend to favour the defendant.

These are guidelines, though, not hard and fast rules.

I know. But he deserves the max. If I understood correctly Chauvin chose the judge to sentance if he was convicted. He's going to do some extensive time in any case.
