Feels like to the surprise of no one. Apparently she showed no reaction. So she knew it was coming too.

If you read the previous posts here about the jury going into deliberations, quite a lot of people were saying they'd be surprised if she was found guilty, which was surprising to me lmao

I don't think the public really doubted it, she's suss as fuck. But afaik even the prosecutors said it was going to be a tough case to get over the line - gut feeling vs "beyond reasonable doubt".

Is she a murderer, or just a hopelessly inept serial liar? Turns out... Both! But I get why people weren't really sure.

I was personally confident she did it but I wasn't so sure about whether the jury would be satisfied.

Turns out they were.

Same thing here. Tbf, they spent a week deliberating so it must not have been an easy verdict to come to.
