She had a great defense team. The fact it took the jury seven days to deliberate speaks to that.


Is seven days considered long for a case like this? When I last had jury duty, we spent three days on a much less complicated case. It was very clear from the start of deliberations which way things would go, but we had to actually discuss the issues and make sure we had clarification on points of law, et cetra. It's really not as simple as TV often makes it seem.


7 days is actually not that long for a case like this


I was going from other similar high profile, white collar cases: Martin Shkreli took 5 days, Ghislaine Maxwell took 5 days.





Not guilty on forging patient trial test results... Only on investor counts.


Might be a mistrial on 3 counts as they couldn't come to a verdict:

Next up, Trevor Milton of Nikola fame.


Good, only nitpick is not enough years. Mark Zuckerberg should be next.
