Paul Manafort Found Guilty On 8 Counts, Mistrial Declared On Other Ten
• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler DurdanAfter a day of passing notes to the Judge, they said they were unable to reach a decision on the other 10.
Manafort was found guilty on all five tax fraud counts, while the other three are related to his failure to disclose foreign bank accounts and bank fraud.
The verdict comes at the end of two and a half weeks of testimony, which included 27 witnesses and 88 documents submitted into evidence. Earlier, the jury asked Judge T.S. Ellis earlier in the day what would happen if they couldn't reach a verdict on a count, and Ellis told them to keep working on it.
"If we cannot come to a consensus for a single count, how can we fill in the verdict sheet?" the jurors asked in the note.
