The Ghislaine Maxwell jury as been deliberating now for six days. Probably no verdict before 2022. Do long jury deliberations tend to go in favor of finding guilt, or finding innocence?

Any good court attorney knows you can never second guess a jury.

In this case I think it’s not a matter whether they find her guilty or not, but to many indictments.
Does this jury also do sentencing (what I mean is the punishment)?

”but to how many”

Attorneys say the longer the jury deliberated, the bigger the chance of a hung jury because it’s indicating that they’re having trouble coming to an agreement.

With multiple charges to consider, each must be decided individually. That means determining how evidence and testimony prove or fails to prove the first charge. Once everything has been discussed and voted, they can move on to the next. It is a slow process whatever the outcome. Just beginning each charge, everyone must understand interpretation of the law covering the particular charge. If anyone on the jury has difficulty with understanding the way s law is worded, that is one delay, and not indicative of outcome.
To me, not returning quickly means a jury is trying very hard to take their task seriously, and not rush through.

The general trend is that a longer deliberation tends to favor the defendant (as I understand it), but in this case, I’m inclined to agree with @Patty_Melt‘s interpretation. This is a complex case with lots of charges to consider that took place over a long period of time with many victims. I don’t think we can infer much from the long deliberation time other than the fact that the jury is doing it’s duty to thoroughly review the evidence and each of the charges.

Guilty, but all records pertaining to Epstein’s ring are now sealed per the judge. Nothing to see here. Thanks to James Comey’s daughter for a job well done. Now move along.
