1. Convicted but it wont be by tomorrow. It will take a few days

For the jury to go over each charge and all the documents.

2. Not into predictions. But a mistrial could be possible.

Given that the judge's conduct was questionable.

4. The judge would be the one granting any "mistrial". n/t

[NCTraveler]

5. I thought judges presiding over cases issues mistrials?

If there is an issue over judge conduct wouldn't the charges either being overthrown by appeal, and tried again, or a new trial called by way of appeal if there charges aren't upheld? Wouldn't that be done by a different judge after this case is finished.

I don't see either side filing for a mistrial.

Wouldn't there still be a verdict in this case?

6. Huh what? Judges declare mistrials

It’s with the jury now. Absent someone tampering with the jury to make an impartial verdict impossible or a sudden revelation of severe prosecutorial misconduct I don’t see any way a mistrial comes now.

3. Jury has asked to deliberate in break room

Jury room was evidently to small.

Are jury rooms secure?

Is the lunch room secure?

[PoliticAverse]

7. Secure from what? The jury wasn't sequestered during the trial...

so if anyone wanted to get to a juror they had ample opportunity.

8. Long deliberations, mixed verdict.

They are being asked to deliver verdicts on 18 different charges, each one with a fairly complex evidence trail.

I expect guilty on some, not guilty on others. How the split breaks down I didn’t watch close enough to make an educated guess.
