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, what no free pizza?

I would've dragged out deliberations just long enough to get a free meal after sitting through that.

EDIT: Also, absolute fucking bullshit he is free to roam until sentencing in May.

Lock. Them. All. Up.

Clearly, the jury was so pissed off at his ridiculous protestations of innocence and the contradictory bullshit he spouted under cross that the members just didn’t want to spend a minute more than they had to in this man’s presence.

Because there are some things that even free pizza can’t buy.

Yeah, you'd think he'd be kept in custody like dangerous criminals in the UK are before sentencing.

I don’t understand why any of these terrorists are out, before or after trial. I can’t understand it.

Under surveillance I’d hope. ESP those with para-military ties to right wing domestic terrorist groups.

You know, honestly, that's probably what the 2 hours really was 😂

Why in the hell does someone convicted of insurrection get to roam free?

It’s his last little bit of freedom before 10+ years in prison. At least he’s going to lose a great portion of whatever time he has left in prison.
