Special thanks to RR for explaining joint venture so well, as it wasn't brought up in the media's daily recaps that I've been reading. I found this thread, like so many on SOSH, to be a cut-to-the-chase go-to filled with people who are experts in the topic. Thanks to all of you!
20 minutes? That is fast.

Jesus. I hate the media sometimes.

It's an automatic sentence of life without parole. So sentencing is immediate. If there were some wiggle room and the judge had issues to consider, it would be some time between verdict and sentencing to get a report prepared and witnesses lined up for a sentencing hearing. But nothing is going to move the needle on it, so its immediate.
reading that the Lloyd family will be given an opportunity to speak before sentence is announced.. judge also was meeting with jury post trail.. so I think the 20 minutes out announcement was a bit premature.. but they are saying it will happen in minutes .. not hours or even days.Boston Brawler said:

Sentencing has been delayed from 10:50 (obviously), waiting for a final member of the Lloyd family. Stay tuned. #AaronHernandez -RK

Thnx to RR, and others, for their insights into the legal proceedings!!
Does this verdict automatically go through the appeals process, or does the defense have to formally request it?
How does this verdict affect the trials of Ortiz/Wallace?
Thnx!!

On second view, no, he's not there. I thought he was between Sultan and Fee but it was a third lawyer.
I've only really listened to the arraignment, and I was pretty convinced of his guilt there. However, with an all star lawyer team, you still have to give the prosecution their due here. Justice wins over money, at least today.
I feel terrible for that woman who callously covered up her brother in law to be's cold blooded murder.soxhop411 said:

As a general statement, I agree.
In this instance, I am rooting them on.

Very unlikely immunity would cover knowingly false testimony, though defer to RR on the specifics of what was negotiated here
Thank you Rovin, et al.
Compelling, informative and educational thread, despite the morbid circumstance.

Yeah I would imagine perjury would negate the immunity deal. Or maybe they could charge her with perjury but not with the charge covered by the immunity deal.PedroKsBambino said:
I think people are jumping on Shayanna too quickly. From an objective sense, she looks pretty bad, but protection of your loved ones is a natural reaction and isn't evil. She could have a fully realized construction in her mind of AH's innocence despite evidence, on top of a desire to protect him even if she is certain he was guilty. Is this is a disservice to justice and more importantly to Odin Lloyd, sure, but it is also a pretty natural part of human psychology and sociology.
Now, of course there is an alternate story where SJ was an active participant in this (suggested that OL needed to die or something, volunteered to destroy evidence to cover his guilt (an important distinction from destroying evidence that she didn't know was evidence or destroying evidence because she thought he was innocent and the evidence would implicate him improperly). Or where she saw him as a meal ticket and was just trying to protect that.
I think it's unfair to leap to that second conclusion and demand even further justice without knowing more.
I'm also not sure where the perjury charge comes from? Are you guys calling back to the grand jury testimony? Did she perjure on the stand in this trial? I didn't watch her entire testimony, but what specifically did she "knowingly" lie about?

An absolutely obscene gigglefest going on there. Confirmation once again that you hope you never get dragged into court where your fate is in such hands.

The evidence at trial indicates clearly that she made a conscious choice after the murder to back AH no matter the consequences. Whether this is a case of willful blindness or unbridled ignorance is something others can worry about.
AH killed her sister's boyfriend over nothing and she chose the sociopath over her own blood. 'eff her.
I don't know if that's fair. They are relieved that they are done. All I can think of is the Sandy Hook hoaxer contingent who go back to the video of the father who was laughing as some sort of proof that he was an actor playing a role. You just never know how you'll react under the spotlight when you're not used to the scrutiny.Harry Hooper said:

I understand and forgive nervous laughter, but it's gone on way too long here. Plus, the more they talk the more likely they'll step on a landmine and provide an angle for a mistrial/appeal.
