The jury was only out a few hours before coming back with the verdict. That generally is not good news for the Defense.
Good. Now put him away for life.

Hope that makes it clear to others that this will not be tolerated. https://t.co/lg6XO5RMOG

Obviously, this trial has brought out accusations of racism and disparate treatment of Black men. It appears fights are breaking out outside the courtroom after the verdict.

Emotions are high on both sides and arrests by observers are expected as things have turned physical.
This is the correct verdict. https://t.co/UgWOg79hvL

There is a gag order in place until sentencing so there likely won't be any comment from lawyers right away. There will be a whole new hearing for the sentencing. That could happen today, but may not happen until tomorrow.
Stay tuned for additional stories throughout the night.
Update:
Punishment phase ended abruptly after one witness Karmelo Anthony's mother. Both sides rested after waiving opening statements

Anthony’s Mother: “He’s my oldest, he’s my first born, he will always be my baby, i love him very much’
Defense: Does your son regret what he did?…
The sentencing phase is over and the judge will decide a punishment.
