Manafort guilty on 8 charges--mistrial on other 10 charges

Tweet

Just saw breaking news that the jury sent yet another note to the judge that they have a unanimous decision on 8 of the charges but that they cannot agree on 10 of the other counts. It will be interesting to see what the judge will do now. He can tell them do go back and try again, but I don't really see what the point of that would be. I mean, they have been trying for days now. I don't know what another few hours or another day would do. The judge just stated that he is going to interview the jurors individually to determine what their "feelings" are. I had no idea that was even an option. Stay tuned! ***UPDATE*** Well, I don't know what happened but within like 2 minutes suddenly things changed and it was announced that Manafort was found guilty of 8 charges--5 tax fraud charges, 2 bank fraud charge, and 1 charge of hiding a foreign bank account. The judge declared a mistrial on the other 10 charges. I think he is looking at 200+ years in jail for those 8 felony counts.
