Witness testimony concluded on January 20. It took the jury approximately two hours of deliberations to reach a unanimous guilty verdict on all counts.

Sounds like they didn't even stall for lunch

Yeah, this is insanely fast for eight criminal charges.

I guess literally having video and photos of the defendant in the act of committing the crimes (and then further video of him repeatedly bragging about it afterward) speeds up the process quite a bit.

He also testified on the stand and his lies were laughable. The jury probably found them insulting to their intelligence.
