happening around the city. as for the deliberations, we re about 30 hours, some 33 hours, again with that gap of several days in the middle of it. it s a very complicated case. there are six counts, there are four accusers, there are allegations that span over a period that starts back some 25 years ago. so there s a lot for the jury to go over. and they have requested a lot of information. they ve requested transcripts of the four accusers testimony, requested other witness testimony. so they re going through this meticulously and that s why it s taking some time. how long it will take, we just obviously don t know. chris? so, danny, let s start with covid. would you have sequestered the jury by now? are you surprised the judge hasn t? no, i m not surprised. i think judges are really reluctant to sequester juries. frankly, judges are reluctant to even have trials to begin with. and i say this as someone who is sitting and waiting and wondering whether or not a january trial date
before thanksgiving, before black friday, before a long holiday weekend that that must have motivated the jury mightily. is that a particularly fair thing? maybe, maybe not. i expect there might have been some urgency as if to say, folks, we don t want to be back here friday or god forbid monday to deal with this. we don t have the audio from the courtroom just yet. you do see the defendants, travis mcmichael, gregory mchighle and william roddie bryan along with their attorneys. now the pledge has entered the courtroom. danny, the the judges i m sorry. the defense attorneys, one in particular, the defense attorney for roddie bryan had been calling for a mistrial over and over and over again. is he trying to lay the ground work for an appeal? this might have been some high-level chess by making this reference
here. the mother of ahmaud arbery. it is quiet and tense. any words have been kept to a whisper. the room is jam packed. people are squeezing in. folks are switching places and nervously clasping their hands together. the family have been waiting for this for so long. we talked about this as a 13-day trial. some of these jurors were part of this jury selection a month ago. this has been a long process for so many people. i think a lot of people will be eager to get on with this, katy. we have danny savalos. there you are, danny. nice to have you here. this is some relatively quick deliberation. not exactly. the vast majority of cases do resolve relatively quickly, usually within a day or so. the rittenhouse case was kind of an outlier, for me at least. in my experience, juries are not out for several days like that. but i suspect we may never know. the fact this is wednesday
said. again, all three men convicted of felony murder in the killing of ahmaud arbery. although, the counts differ for the three men. let s try to figure out what exactly happened there. danny, the big headline, travis mcmichael, the man who pulled the trig r, held the gun, pulled the trigger, found guilty of all nine counts. his father not found guilty of malice murder. that s count one. why would the jury decide that? that s an interesting result. what the jury is saying is that travis mcmichael committed felonies. those felonies resulted in the death of ahmaud arbery and that he intended at least with malice as that s defined in the law to shoot and kill ahmaud arbery. what the jury concluded apparently as to his father was that he was guilty of all the felonies, false imprisonment, threatening him with a gun and that those felonies caused the death of ahmaud arbery. although they concluded that he did not actually cause the death
reporting that republican senator kelly loeffler of georgia and her husband purchased and sold about $1.4 million in stock during the market panic setoff by the coronavirus pandemic. loeffler reported that she and her husband, who is chairman of the new york stock exchange, bought about nearly $600,000 of stock and sold about $845,000 of stock from february 18th through march 13th. had they held those shares through the weekend, the stock would have been valued at $86,000 less than what they sold it for. news of her stock trades comes as she battle toes keep her seat in the senate. a spokesman came to her defense calling it a baseless political attack and said all daily trades are handled by professional investment advisers without loeffler s private knowledge. joining me now, danny savalos.
