There was nothing to discuss so the verdict came back quickly.

...I was on a jury in March 2020 for domestic violence.
We deliberated for 20 minutes before I took a 1st vote.
Unanimous, not guilty.
So, not all quick verdicts mean guilty.
But, I'm hoping that's the case here.

Either contempt of Congress is a thing or it isn't, pretty cut and dry.

No way a jury deliberates for a couple hours and says that's it if there was a hold out.

(24,207 posts)5. How many counts was he charged with?
Haven't been following closely, but know each count carries 30 days to a year.

(24,207 posts)15. Excellent
So he's facing up to 2 years. I'd guess he gets something like 90 days if guilty on both counts, but I'd love to see 180 days.
I think Bannon is a drug addict, jail is going to be awful for him.
