Wow, that was barely enough time for them to elect a foreman and order coffee
/Murdaugh jury convicts him after three hours of deliberation
Which probably means they’d decided he was guilty long before the trial concluded. I mean, of course he was, and that was obvious within a day or two of his arrest, but, just for decorum’s sake, a jury often waits to at least finish their coffee before announcing its verdict, rather than leave it untouched, as here. But heck, they’ve known he was guilty from the start and still had to sit through weeks of trials, so it’s not surprising they were in a hurry to finish and go home.
OJ obviously had a different jury.
