What happens if a juror goes down with covid?

Goawayquickly · 29/12/2021 22:01

Jury have reached a verdict which is yet to be announced.

DuncinToffee · 29/12/2021 22:08

I'm so shocked as I thought she'd get off, but I'm so relieved the victims have some justice now.

Wasn’t expecting that tonight

RAOK · 29/12/2021 22:13

Such good news!

longwayoff · 29/12/2021 22:14

I'm amazed. Wouldn't happen over here. Time for the many appeals to begin.

1concernedmummy · 29/12/2021 22:15

Just seen the verdict, good news! Hopefully this will be helpful for the survivors.

CoffeeRunner · 29/12/2021 22:17

Woah.

What does this mean for PA & the others involved?

GM is guilty. So are we really to believe she was working solely for Epstein's pleasure?

Justjoinedforthis · 29/12/2021 22:21

Hope she names names!

Noisyprat · 29/12/2021 22:25

Was just going to post this. I am so happy to hear this result, I honestly thought the verdict would be bought and she'd get off. I wonder if she is surprised, her defence seemed very arrogant.

I hope she sings like a canary.

CathyorClaire · 29/12/2021 22:25

Just come in this excellent news.

Wonder how many are shaking in their shoes as she prepares to sing.

Imdreamingofapeacefulxmas · 29/12/2021 22:27

Wow. Yes I wonder what her next moves are... Reduced sentence

EachandEveryone · 29/12/2021 22:29

Oh this is just brilliant. Im surprised it happened so quick.

PeaceONoeuf · 29/12/2021 22:36

I wonder why count two is not guilty - enticement as opposed to conspiracy

TankFlyBoss · 29/12/2021 22:36

Oh I do hope Prince A has his shitting pants ready

Faevern · 29/12/2021 22:38

Not sure what this means for PA but he must be desperate if his lawyers are arguing that VG is not a US citizen as she lives in Australia and so the NY court has no jurisdiction.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 29/12/2021 22:48

Well, ther's being wrong and then there's being WRONG ... anyone got a spare hat I can eat??

Of course she's not been sentenced yet, so lets not get too excited about "justice being done" too soon, but it hardly seems good news for Andrew and others if she sings in order to reduce any jail time

Motherdare · 29/12/2021 23:03

How long until we hear the sentence, I wonder? And will she do a deal?

CurzonDax · 29/12/2021 23:21

Definitely the right verdict, even if I am a little surprised by it (but very happy by it) - lots of things about this trial just seemed very 'off'.
I can't help but wonder if her team knew she would always be found guilty, and so deliberately kept up with a somewhat charade in order for the appeals.

When are we expecting a sentence?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 29/12/2021 23:24

will she do a deal?

I'm no lawyer, but surely an appeal against the actual conviction would come before a deal?

BringMeTea · 29/12/2021 23:25

Great news. I do feel that she will end up freed on some technicality after a not very long period served. Can one start trying to make deals at this point?

DuncinToffee · 29/12/2021 23:38

Virginia Giuffre

My soul yearned for justice for years and today the jury gave me just that. I will remember this day always.

Having lived with the horrors of Maxwell’s abuse, my heart goes out to the many other girls and young women who suffered at her hands and whose lives she destroyed.
1/2

I hope that today is not the end but rather another step in justice being served. Maxwell did not act alone. Others must be held accountable. I have faith that they will be.
2/2

Thank God. They've found her Guilty.
