""The verdict on the case that has bitterly divided the nation, after the jury took more than 16 hours and 20 minutes over two days to reach their conclusion.""

It is documented fact that the longer a jury deliberates, the less likely a conviction.

What seems to happen is that the pro guilty are more inclined to give in because they are fed up and want to go home, and an cquittal is at least safer than chancing an unjust conviction.

Given the time it took, the verdict wasn't unanimous until they had reached that point.

Somebody must have been for a conviction for 16 hours and nineteen minutes.

Far from the way that the verdict has been portrayed by the Zimmerman groupies.
