I'm with Bailey on the verdict. Never discount the potential for stupidity among the Jurors.

Just because the trial is in Detroit does not mean the jurors are Detroiters. The pool for Federal jurors can come from anywhere in Southeastern Michigan. There will be jurors in many of the Southeastern Michigan cities who would love to see KMK rot in jail.

I seriously doubt a judge would allow that with 1 1/2 days of deliberation [[it starts Tuesday due to the holiday)

I forgot about the "holiday"[[who besides the public sector get's president's day off?) Isn't it already with the jury? I was going with 5-6 days of deliberation before they report they are hopelessly deadlocked. .... so whatever that day would be.

I'd say the same. Given the weight of this trial and the months of testimony, a judge wouldn't accept a hung decision so quickly.

If deliberations go for less than a week [[I'd say 2/25), I'd predict a lot of guilty charges given out. Maybe not the full list, but all will be receiving something.

If longer than a week, I think every subsequent day would bring us closer to watching KK and his boys skating out with no more than a scolding.

**Nanska** · February-15-13, 01:41 PM

2/21/13 after 2PM. Guilty on the majority of charges

OR

2/26/13 before 11AM. Hung jury due to one juror not going to let "His Boy" be brought down by "The Man"

**kenp** · February-15-13, 01:53 PM

guilty
2/26 1:05pm

KWAME KILPATRICK [[GUILTY AS SIN!)

BENARD KILPATRICK [[NOT GUILTY)

BOBBY FERGUSON [[GUILTY)

VICTOR MERCADO [[ NOT GUILTY)

By hearing the testimony of the offensive witnesses. Kwame was involved in all major crimes. He accepted bribes from various private contractors. Taking Detroit city taxpayers for the luxuries and accepted gifts without paying restitutions. Kwame was sneaky, but he didn't get away from the law.

The Jury only hear small details about Bernard's involvement in Detroit City Businesses.

Bobby was involved in accepting bribes. Making sure that other private businesses are kept out and his businesses kept in.

Victor was less involved in city businesses.

Umm...Victor Mercado pleaded guilty months ago. He's not in the trial anymore.
