Hmmm. Could go either way. I'm curious to see what they decided on.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The Latest on Bill Cosby's sexual assault retrial (all times local):
1:25 p.m.
The jury is heading back to the courtroom and Bill Cosby's defense team is saying there's a verdict in his sexual assault retrial.
The panel of seven men and five women have been deliberating about 14 hours.
The 80-year-old comedian is accused of drugging and violating a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.
He's charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault. A conviction could put him in prison for up to 10 years on each count.
Prosecutors used Cosby's past admissions about drugs and sex as well as the testimony of five other women to help bolster accuser Andrea Constand's allegations. Cosby's lawyers argued Constand leveled false accusations against Cosby so she could sue him and extract a huge civil settlement.
It's the only criminal case to arise from allegations from more than 60 women.
The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission. Constand has done so.

Waiting for this verdict has finally given me the chance to pay each of the the extras in this gif the attention they richly deserve.
It's a good thing. Almost a guaranteed conviction if they've come to an agreement this quickly.
With that fast of deliberation, I'm going to assume they'll find him not guilty. Dude's guilty as fuck though.
I'm guessing they say he assaulted women, but not his woman. Thus the defense wins a not guilty.
Eh, it can honestly go either way. Some think the defense did a better job divining the intentions of the accuser and instilling doubt than the prosecution did proving these three specific charges.
I said "almost". There are exceptions, such as the group of idiots in that jury pool.
Casey Anthony - 10 hours (not guilty)
OJ - less than 4 hours (not guilty)
Phil Spector - 30 hours (guilty)
Robert Blake - 35 hours (guilty)
Scott Peterson - 7 days (guilty)
Menendez Brothers - 4 days (guilty)
Steven Hayes - 4 hours (guilty)

OH SHIT.
I thought he was going to walk free.
This is good news.
Finally, some justice in this world for women.

It's a guess based on the last dismissal and other figures with less money getting a not guilty the same way.
