Useful anonymized rundown of jurors and their backgrounds:

My best bet is most of the jury went back ready to convict for murder, there were a couple stragglers who said there was reasonable doubt of some sort or another, and they landed on manslaughter as a compromise.

"Happy" isn't a good word for anything to describe this story, but so much relief, and finally something close to justice that we can all see.

Why did so many people seem to think he'd actually get off? This jury was taken from one of the bluest places in the country; this isn't like past trials like this, they had video evidence. Unsurprising.

I mean, that describes the Rodney King case as well, but that was almost 30 years ago now.

Since much of the left and Atlas seems to think Bill Clinton is some closet racist who signed the 1994 crime bill to make the police kill more black men, I'd just like to point out he put out a very nice statement on today's verdict.
