      Same thing happened with his other trials. A fast verdict from the jury means the case was completely air-tight solid to the jurors. He was so clearly guilty that there was nothing to even discuss

        They still discussed it for 10 hours. That’s a pretty decent amount of time. And requested transcripts from previous portions of the trial, too.

          True, but it’s still quite quick. In fact IMO having a few hours of deliberation is probably a good thing for the country, because now they can’t say the verdict came back so quickly that it proves it must’ve been rigged. I’m sure they’ll still say it was rigged anyway, but they won’t be able to point to a 5 minute deliberation as supposed evidence
