I was also very heartened by it. I've served on two jury panels in that particular courthouse (once as foreperson) and to say it can be a "truth is stranger than fiction" experience is an understatement.

I saw some of the celebrity legal "analysts" all come on the TV shows right after the verdict and hope none of them maneuver themselves into any appeal proceedings. Kakki
