One way or the other, it will be historic. This is much faster than I expected the Jury to deliberate.

I assume if they have a verdict it’s guilty. Could be wrong.

Edit: update convicted on all 34 counts. From the article’s update:

Mr. Trump was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business recordsby a jury of 12 New Yorkers, who deliberated over two days to reach a decision in a case rife with descriptions of secret deals, tabloid scandal and an Oval Office pact with echoes of Watergate. The jury found that Mr. Trump had faked records to conceal the purpose of money given to his onetime fixer, Michael D. Cohen. The false records disguised the payments as ordinary legal expenses when in truth, Mr. Trump was reimbursing Mr. Cohen for a $130,000 hush-money deal the fixer struck with the porn star Stormy Daniels to silence her account of a sexual liaison with Mr. Trump.

Within a day (and likely within 30 minutes at that...), we will know the Jury's verdict. Might as well wait for it.

But but it’s my justice and I need it now!

(Apparently JG Wentworth is joining the dark side,)

You're not wrong
