Seng Yang guilty on all counts. Judge John Feeney read that Counts 14-16 were dated May 31. The other 13 counts were dated today.
The jurors deliberated for two hours on May 31 and1 one hour this11 morning.
Two jurors stayed in court after they were excused. The same two jurors thanked Yang's attorney, Deputy Public Defender Luke Brownfield outside the court. They told him he "got the short straw" being appointed on this case.
I looked over and Jane Doe's foster mother had her eyes closed, her face showed relief as each verdict was read. Jane Doe was stoic.
I didnt cry when Fr. Eric's verdict was read but while each guilty verdict was read in this case, I wiped my tears. There have been days covering this case in court when I wanted to walk out.
Right after the last verdict, the bailiff cuffed him right away.
One juror who spoke to me told me Yang was crying as the verdict was read. On Friday, they asked for some readback of testimony. They went over each of the counts, the law and the testimony was about verifying the age for certain counts.
This juror said to other fellow jurors, "Is there anyone who didnt have nightmares?" This was a reference to the videos were played in court. The juror commended Jane Doe on her strength.
In addition to the regular court bailiff, 7 other bailiffs were in the courtroom. At least, a couple around Yang blocking view between him and the audience, which I understand.
