Why would you say that? Are the Cincy coaches presumed guilty until proven innocent (or found not guilty in this case)?

I assume nothing. Just that 5 minutes sounds like a very short time to deliberate.

I haven't had any juries come back in 5 minutes, but I've had a couple come back in 15-20 minutes. It's not really that unusual.

KC,
Where do you practice? In NYC, an hour is fantastic.

Yeah. I just served on a jury and it takes longer than 5 minutes for the baliff to situate everyone in the deliberation room, a foreperson to be elected, an initial polling of the jury to be taken, and for the foreperson to tell that to the baliff and for court to be reassembled for the verdict to be read.

KC, Where do you practice? In NYC, an hour is fantastic. Right now I'm in Montana, but I'm moving down to Salt Lake City soon and hope to find work down there. |

As a former NYC prosecutor, I was enormously satisfied with any verdict that resulted from an hour or so of deliberations (actually, didn't matter how long the jury deliberated as long as the verdict ended w/ "guilty", but my stress level wasn't as high).
