3 hours of deliberation. MSNBC says looks like jury was swift and unanimous.

No on rape, yes on sexual assault. Award is $2 million. Also yes on defamation. Award for defamation $1 million. $280,000 in punitives. There was another $20,000 for--something-- so there is a nice round number of $3.3 million. Holy shit.

Accountability!

@KlasfeldReports
Judge tells jurors that each of them has the ability to talk about their experiences — and publicly identify themselves, if they do so.
But he advises them not to: "Not now, and not for a long time."
The judge DIRECTS them not to identify other jurors.

The jury verdict on sexual assault vice rape smacks of a compromise. That probably made the other verdicts easier for the juror(s) who didn't want to vote for the top (civil) offense.
Neither disbarred nor disciplined after representing President Barack Obama.

Nothing on Fox website yet. Might take them a while to spin it.
Edit: I turned on Fox channel and they're reporting it live. Didn't listen, I've got the tablet tuned into CNN. Nicolle Wallace should be fun today

So, at the margin I would have preferred "yes" on the first question, but the fact that it was "no" makes it harder to argue credibly that this was a politicized, knee-jerk jury.
Edit: I too strongly suspect that this was a compromise verdict.

I cannot stop jumping up and down. Finally some accountability.
