I'm sitting outside the courtroom waiting on the jury to return a verdict. Actually, I think I'm waiting on the jury to actually arrive. I believe they're waiting on the last few to roll in this morning.
The consensus from the people in the courthouse and the other journalists is that it will be a long day, though I should point out that juries are notoriously hard to read.
My hunch is that we'll get a verdict after lunch. Wouldn't you want to squeeze one more meal out of the federal government after serving on jury duty for more than a week? Seems obvious to me.
Now that I've written that, they'll probably prove me wrong. In any case, I'll be here until there's a verdict.
