The jury did not reach a verdict on two federal conspiracy charges, but did find that every defendant was liable for civil conspiracy under Virginia law.

The Arbery verdict is in.

@blf, StevoR, StonedRanger: BEHOLD! THE PARTY OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! If they refuse to call it “justice,” they can file it under “reparations.”
@Intransitive: YES! (I was writing about that as you were posting your comment!) It’s nearly impossible for me to imagine an overwhelmingly white (11-1) jury in Georgia reaching that verdict without a competent and unbiased judge.
