The unseasonable man is the sort of person who comes up to you when you are head over ears in work and confides to you all about it. He serenades his mistress when she is ill with fever. He approaches a man who has been cast in a surety case and asks him to stand surety for him. He appears to give evidence after the verdict is given.

Theophrastus

Excitement is bad for the prosecution. They want two to three days of quiet deliberations and one note that says we have a verdict. Anything short of that is bad news.

We certainly don't agree with this particular verdict. The verdict was not based on all the available facts because those facts were not presented to the jury for their consideration. We will appeal.

I'm damn sure not happy about this verdict.

Whatever doubts there may have been about whether a verdict here could be upheld on appeal for the plaintiffs have evaporated, ... This charge is error incarnate.

Amir Salem

Journalists, by and large, are not as good as they should be in keeping up with what happens after a large verdict — even though they know full well from experience that the verdict will most likely be cut dramatically. There surely is less of an attention span than there should be.

Tom Goldstein

With the FOMC rate verdict due later today, there's a cautious mood creeping into equity markets as although a 25 basis point hike is widely expected, there's little consensus as to just how long the aggressive stance over interest rates will now continue for.

Whatever the verdict later rendered against him or others of his co-accused, it's his humanitarian right.

Mark Chambers

The verdict was not everything I wanted it to be.

Richard Josephson

When you're seeking justice there are no shortcuts. If you were to trade places with either side, you would hope someone would fight for you. We have been advocates on both sides. The final test will not lie in that you listened to witnesses for four days but that you render a verdict of justice as we journey toward justice.

Andrew Shaw

I think the jury came to the right decision based on all the facts in the case. I think they came back with the only verdict they could based on all the facts.

Chris Watson

We'll wait until the process is completed, The verdict speaks for itself.

Jonathan Lewin

I don't think they felt they needed to care, and this verdict will have them rethinking that.

Freddie Hamilton

Paul Wilkinson

I was disappointed with the verdict and the sentencing.

Lee Hunter

I am horrified by the verdict, and I am very very shocked and disappointed that justice was miscarried in this case. I feel very strongly that anyone who heard the evidence in this case knows that Louise Woodward did absolutely nothing wrong, and did her very best to save this child's life. I am trying to have faith that the system will correct this injustice.

Andrew Good

There is no indictment of the Union Council of Ministers by the Supreme Court in the verdict.

Abhishek Singhvi

Find him guilty of murder, ... That's the verdict that the state of Mississippi asks you to return.

Mark Duncan

If a criminal trial started against him, then it is very probable that the general dies before there is a verdict.

Ricardo Israel

It's like giving a convicted man on trial the verdict and then saying 'are you happy with that?' - and I think that that's totally unacceptable.

Carmen Barroso

Our family is grateful for the jury's first-degree verdict, but for us it's a bit of a hollow victory. The murderer's mother can still visit him in jail. Lisa was just at the prime of her life, but now our mom can only visit her at the cemetery.

Helen Posluns

When we heard the verdict, it became a very emotional day for my client. When I left him, he was getting in the car with his brother and was still crying out of joy.

Willie Davis

We're disappointed with the verdict and certainly we intend to appeal.

David Simpson

It's very rare for a judge in California to reduce a death penalty verdict. (It's) even more rare for Judge Al Delucchi to do so. He gives deference and respect to the expression of the conscience of the community, as expressed by this jury.

Dean Johnson

I just don't think there's any basis to the verdict that came down today.

Richard Josephson

You've got a jury that came back in two hours with a verdict. What does that tell you?

Jimmy Schaeffler

It's been nonstop since the day I found out, ... I knew when the verdict came down and then the sentencing, that I didn't have any time to play around. I had to get the album done, and all the other things in my life settled quickly. I'd never done an album so fast before, and in a way it was a good thing. The music just kind of rolled out.

Lil' Kim

Your verdict will be "Guilty" or "Not Guilty." Your job is not to find innocence.

This is a company and a brand that's tied to one person. A guilty verdict will further damage the business because people generally don't like to be associated with a person convicted of a crime. Can the brand survive? I think it will.

Duncan Simester

I think the verdict as well as the quickness of the verdict sends a clear message that my client had absolutely no criminal intent. Now he can put this experience behind him and move on.

The ruling confirms the pattern of judgments supporting the University's position and the original jury verdict that Microsoft infringed on our patented technology and should provide fair compensation for its use in their products.

Trey Davis

In this case, the law enforcement officers felt that the jury's verdict was insufficient to the cause justice. Three men, good, veteran officers were murdered in cold-blood by a coward who surrendered to the tactical unit that responded because he was afraid getting shot himself. The jury's sentencing recommendation was not good enough.

Chuck Canterbury

With the rate verdict due later, there's a cautious mood creeping into equity markets as although a 25-basis-point hike is widely expected, there's little consensus as to just how long the aggressive stance over interest rates will now continue for.

Matt Buckland

The jury spoke, we had a verdict, and the verdict was clear.

Paul Luvera

This verdict should not stand. There are at least five major issues that we will raise in the court of appeals. Any one of them standing alone would be a basis for reversal. Together, they make a strong case that the trial was unfair.

Walter Dellinger

The jurors said it was clear that they would never reach a unanimous verdict.

Brian Chavez

Life and death are God's decisions. If it is made through a court verdict, that equals murder.

Agus Saputra

I would be shocked if we had a verdict before the first of April.

Jeff Justice

The firm start in the US might be the catalyst needed for a test of $575/oz, particularly with the IAEA due to reach its verdict on Iran which could mean sanctions and would not only heighten tension in the Middle East, but could create inflation concerns if oil output was curbed.

James Moore

We believe the verdict, not yet binding, introduces fresh concerns on the company's cash position as well as the outlook for the DSL business.

Ben Lynch

This is a proper verdict that fits with the global trend.

Robin Lee

The elections in Belarus do not require external recognition or non-recognition. In this situation, the attempt to hand down a verdict is unfounded.

Andrei Popov

Where many a Client Verdict miss'd for want of Greazing in the fist.

Thomas D'urfey

The Texas jury (verdict) may have triggered a new strategy, which is, let's settle the most obvious cases because you don't want to keep losing case after case because that feeds into itself.

Hemant Shah

We'll leave out whether he got a fair verdict or not.

Disappointed in the verdict.

Kadiatou Diallo

We feel that this jury has been so contaminated ... and that the verdict itself was invalid.

Peter Fahy

It's what we've been waiting for. And if this jury comes back with a guilty verdict, what are we going to do? We continue to fight.

Sam Lockhart

It is kind of an inconsistent verdict. They found that driving down Main Street the way he did was a gross deviation of the standard of care, but he wasn't under the influence. I can't figure that out.

Fred Peters

Obtaining a unanimous verdict, we think, would almost end the death penalty as we know it today in Florida.

Willie Meggs

The market has given its verdict: it's going to be above $60 for quite a long time.

Kevin Norrish

A verdict of guilty means that Mr. Wilson spends the rest of his life in prison. He dies there.

Louis Jordan

His biggest concern is that she would get help. I can't believe they talked 45 hours and still didn't have a verdict. This has been a very traumatic situation ... and it's still not over.

Howard Shapiro

As to the decision, the verdict of the jury could not be more clear. The jury has said these men are not guilty on these counts.

Abbe Lowell

The verdict is indeed shocking but no one is above law.

Kumar Mohan

For me, a big part of it was at the end, the verdict -- no emotion, no anything. That spoke a thousand words, ... I heard enough from him.

Richelle Nice

Having said that, the verdict for the company does not mean these employees were wrong to express their concerns. It's important for employees to feel that their concerns are addressed through meaningful action.

Peter Conte

The government is either going to consent to a retrial because the jury verdict was tainted by potentially perjured testimony or the government is going to have to explain to the court why the prejudiced testimony was harmless -- in other words, that the testimony did not influence the jury's verdict.

Tai Park

Unlike most notes, it did not say, 'Do not surrender your convictions just to reach a verdict,' ... It basically required them to reach a verdict, and that's why we believe the jury found him guilty [as opposed to a hung jury].

David Barron

This is definitely one step, but there are many questions that have been raised by the trial that have not been answered by the verdict.

Pamela Dix

This doesn't bring my sister back. We're happy with the verdict and glad this part is behind us.

Donna Mcgrath

It's way too early to pass judgment. It's still got flaws. They need to tweak it. Is it better than it ever was? I think the verdict is still out on that.

Darrell Waltrip

There were 21 million viewers and their verdict was that Schroeder had won the duel. It was clear.

Manfred Guellner

Stocks started the day on a positive note and the verdict on Merck gave the bullish investors out there another incentive to buy.

Martin Yokosawa

This is a political verdict that will be annulled by the appeals court. This verdict will go into the dustbin of history.

Amir Salem

We thought that a not guilty verdict was the only fair decision.

David Hoose

We convinced the jury beyond a reasonable doubt of his guilt in both murders, we got past the judgment of acquittal, and the judge obviously found the verdict was proper because he went on and sentenced him to death.

Randall Mcgruther

I want a jury verdict.

Larry Salci

It is a pity that we will not see him facing justice, that we will not hear the verdict. However, it seems that God punished him already.

Hajra Catic

I believe a case should not be tried in the news media, that a case should be tried - any case should be tried - in a court of law. That would be after all the facts are gathered, all the evidence is in ... and the jury reaches a verdict.

Freda Black

The simple truth, the reality of the jury verdict has not changed.

James Spencer

Obviously we are thrilled with the jury's verdict.

Paul Schoeman

The Mazda Navajo is a safe, reliable vehicle and not the cause of either the accident or Miss Munoz's injuries. For this and other reasons, Ford is confident this verdict will be reversed on appeal.

Kathleen Vokes

There's no other verdict but to come back with the death penalty. I know a lot of people ask me about him becoming a martyr ... let him become a martyr.

Abraham Scott

Our expectations are that on Christmas day the court will just have a hearing. But it may hold another session in the next few days and issue a final verdict.

Dimitar Tsanchev

There really is no way to extrapolate [the verdict to other trials]. We defend these cases one at a time, and that's what we're going to continue to do.

Chuck Harrell

The court finds that it is necessary to grant (Moody) a new trial because it finds the jury misconduct undermined the integrity of the jury deliberations and public confidence in their verdict.

Susan Roberts

It certainly fit the facts, and we're pleased with the verdict.

Marc Bennett

When you do that the state firmly believes you will return with a verdict of guilty as charged.

Attorney David Shepack

If both sides get rid of unfavorable people and they wind up with people in the middle, then the verdict will be based on the evidence. If it's done incorrectly, cases can be won or lost during jury selection.

Howard Varinsky

The size of this verdict speaks loudly to the disdain Americans have for multi-billion-dollar companies needlessly exploiting their workers.

Paul Blank

It's a damn shame the (death penalty) verdict will not be carried out.

Bob Grant

I'm surprised with the verdict.

Pamela Dix

We're disappointed in the jury's verdict. We, in conjunction with our former contractors, are evaluating how best to proceed.

Mike Waldron

A Colombian court issued its verdict that confirmed what we believed from the start: that they were three IRA terrorists, explosives experts, who came to Colombia to train.

Francisco Santos

This is a black day for this court. This is injustice. This verdict is a political decision and not a judicial ruling. We will appeal.

Amir Salem

This verdict deserves to be reviewed.

Roberto Cavalli

We are obviously relieved that so much work has resulted in a just and appropriate verdict.

John Gamble

An adverse jury verdict would have been fatal to the company, and we're not in the business of betting the company.

Stephen Baum

It was a discouraging verdict, but we think there's plenty of reason for optimism on an appeal.

Bill Ryan

We are not afraid of elections but we are not creating conditions for elections either, ... We are not pining for elections. Suppose people give the same kind of fractured verdict we will be back in the same situation.

Shivraj Patil

Without the oversight of an unaffected and relatively neutral tribunal, the verdict in this case will always be in question, and opportunities to clean up the legislative and judicial processes in Pennsylvania will be lost.

Barry Kauffman

I don't think there has been a jury verdict for insanity in my 35 years.

Wilbur Smith

Traditionally a government whose bill is overturned by the legislature has to quit. But here is the Supreme Administrative Court verdict.

Chaiwat Sinsuwong

I think a higher court is going to really have to take a look at that. We heard more evidence on the Thompson case than the Turner case. If we had tried the Glenn Turner case alone, in my heart I believe the verdict would have been different.

Jim Berry

This verdict is wrong ... and according to the National Olympic committee is not acceptable. We will appeal the decision.

Klaus Steinbach

The verdict has come down so we'll have finalized information this week and we'll be issuing the reward as quickly as possible.

Bob Bertini

I'm pleased the jury listened so attentively and came to what I feel was a very just verdict. This man does not belong in society to hurt other children or families.

Mary Shafer

I feel bad that he got life because I truly believe he was forced into it, but I guess the verdict is the verdict.

Kathy Nelson

It's not going to be cleared up today, but I'm looking at a verdict here with $139 million on it.

Willie Gary

If this verdict ever becomes final, I can guarantee that all five of these companies will go out of business.

Dan K. Webb

It's good news, even though the verdict has long been priced into market expectations. The prospect of a CDU-led majority in both chambers of parliament will greatly improve the outlook for further structural changes.

Bernd Karstedt

Pro Car Auto Group and Atlantic Financial are disappointed in the verdict made in the Steubenville Municipal Court. We believe the jury to be in error. We are currently reviewing our legal options.

Bob Bowman

Given the rise in activism in the last few years, especially last year, we may not be able to render a verdict for a while. But it seems like it has been hit or miss.

Chris Young

We'll keep working and hopefully end up with a verdict that's different from today.

Steve Skelton

The verdict shows how China honors its commitment to the World Trade Organization.

Wang Yadong

Once I present the case to the jury I totally accept their verdict. I'm at peace with either of the two verdicts that they could have rendered. They really worked hard on this. I don't look at it as a compromise. I think the evidence would have supported either verdict, second-degree murder or not guilty by reason of insanity. That's what juries are for.

Peter Berger

We are just really upset with the verdict that's come down.

Jeffrey Hawk

I truly believe the media thought they could spin their way to a verdict.

Tom Mesereau

There's never any assurance that a juror who meets a certain profile will return a verdict a certain way.

Jacob Frenkel

They've tried to do the right thing. The verdict is still out, but no longer can we blame the institution of golf, not like before when we were not welcomed in it.

Pete Mcdaniel

I have nothing I can point to that was an obvious turning point, ... The jury was out for seven hours and they came with a verdict of not guilty. There?s not much more I can say.

Lewis Armistead

When people see and hear testimony with their own eyes and ears, we have a better opportunity to understand how a verdict can be reached.

Henry Schleiff

I don't think anybody who leaves a courtroom after a death verdict is happy.

Kathryn Kase

While I am disappointed by the verdict, my team and I feel strongly that we brought an important safety issue to light with this case.

Mark Webb

In 37 years [as a prosecutor], I've never quibbled with a jury's verdict, and I'm not going to start today.

Thomas Sneddon

The reply to our appeal says that there is no reason to review the verdict.

Genrikh Padva

We thank the victims for their patience and dignity throughout this long ordeal. We're obviously very pleased with the result. We've always had confidence in our evidence, and now everyone else can have confidence in this evidence and this verdict.

Joseph Hartzler

I'm satisfied with it and I think it's a fair verdict. Clearly, this was not a first-degree murder case. The state could not prove that Mr. McGee committed premeditated murder against Mr. Graham.

Peter Berger

I'm outraged and saddened by the verdict of the Yugoslav court, ... We must face the fact that this process is being driven by politics, not justice.

Peter Bell

There is but one verdict in this case. That verdict is death.

Kathryn Flicker

Each man must reach his own verdict, by weighing all the relevant evidence.

Leonard Peikoff

This is a verdict in favor of no one and it will not have any practical impact on Philip Morris and its employees.

Dan K. Webb

The ruling eliminates the risk of a large-scale financial verdict, should increase the market's visibility of Philip Morris' long-term U.S. tobacco market share and profit growth, and avoids press coverage of the industry airing its internal issues in public.

David Adelman

We are thrilled with the verdict, and we appreciate the time and the diligence that the jury put into this.

Merilyn Cook

We are disappointed in the verdict and will be reviewing our options.

Jonathan Diamond

There was only one verdict slip that went out to the jury, but he was convicted of two counts of first degree murder. So, that's an issue as well as the change of venue and all of the other issues that we had raised before.

George Lepley

The fact that we were unable to get a verdict the first time out I don't think is going to change our tactics.

Phil Beck

I see some of you grinning. It's kind of hard to talk about. But these are practices that happen between consenting adults. And that will be Mr. Robinson's response to the charges brought by Ms. Neufeld. What I want to know is if there's anyone here who would have a hard time listening to that evidence and rendering a fair and impartial verdict?

Sean O'brien

You don't need to kill Jim Sullivan. Part of Jim Sullivan is already dead. Your verdict ... ensured this man will die in a state prison.

Josh Moore

All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.

Marcel Duchamp

I think this verdict says, 'Well, wait a second'; juries are not going to simply accept what the government says as being obscene. They obviously listened to our arguments; we just weren't able to convince them that the standard wasn't met on one of the movies. I'm encouraged from a worldwide perspective, but very disappointed on behalf of my client to have a conviction in the case.

Andrew Chatham

I don't know what went wrong. Because I look at this evidence and this is an inconceivable verdict to me.

Barry Scheck

Simply put, this verdict is not the result of the evidence, but is largely based on fantasy.

Udo Jacob

We are deeply disappointed by the verdict. Throughout this case we have seen no evidence that Mr. Pope violated any Russian laws. We remain very concerned that his (Pope's) health has deteriorated in recent days. We have been making clear to the Russian government that they should move to release Mr. Pope on humanitarian grounds.

Pj Crowley

I'm very satisfied with the verdict. I think justice was done.

Gerald Curry

Initial open court sessions of death penalty cases during their second verdict in some provinces and municipalities have proved to be successful. The Supreme People's Court is confident to spread it nationwide.

Xiao Yang

This has been harmful to both companies, ... It's been distracting and expensive and I think both sets of shareholders will breathe a sigh of relief when we have a verdict.

Greg Taxin

According to the teachings of various religions, the death penalty can be justified. We prepared ourselves mentally. The entire panel of judges prayed according to their respective beliefs. We meditated until we were really convinced that this is the verdict to be made.

Arief Supratman

People didn't realize he actually entered the hospital after the verdict. He was dehydrated, he had lost a tremendous amount of weight, he was having trouble keeping food down, he was terrified about what was going happen to his children and he had a recurring back problem.

Tom Mesereau

The verdict will never heal the wounds, ... It's difficult because it reopened old wounds. Not only for myself, but for the entire DEA.

Jose Martinez

The verdict is still out because that team (Carolina) wasn't very good.

Jason Gibson

We believe the verdict was unfair and excessive.

Bob Defillippo

I spoke to him on the eve of the verdict and he was very confident that he was going to win the case. I told him that he must now be careful of the people who are bent on destroying him. Now that everything is over he will concentrate on helping Orlando Pirates win the league.

Augusto Palacios

The verdict of guilty will never bring my brother back, but we can start the healing process.

Linda Lavin

Any prosecutor that enjoys getting the death penalty has just got a little something wrong with him, ... You temper your enthusiasm over a verdict you know is right and just and what the jury should have done under the facts with just that little hesitation that it's just not something you enjoy doing.

James Gray

We're disappointed that due to some events that occurred outside of the courtroom, that this case did not reach a verdict. My client went into this case with courage and determination. He still has those qualities today.

Stephen Kaufman

The verdict is based basically on the allegations of one man, a former driver for Anwar, and ... he changed his story several times.

Kasra Naji

We plan to appeal the verdict. We plan to meet with her Thursday and discuss the case.

Erwin Siregar

The conventional wisdom suggests that those who make hard and fast decisions for a living are prosecution-minded individuals since a verdict is not much more than another decision, and since sympathy and empathy play no part in the decision-making process.

Eroll Skyers

Confident that Toshiba's remaining efforts to challenge the verdict, including its inevitable appeal, will fare no better than Toshiba's earlier attempts.

Eric Whitaker

We are very pleased that, after six months of Toshiba's efforts to challenge the jury verdict, the Court has rejected those challenges and entered judgment confirming that verdict in every respect.

Eric Whitaker

This is exactly what the judges have feared all along. That the trial wouldn't be complete and there would be no verdict.... They knew the fragile state of his health.

Edgar Chen

O.J. Simpson: Beyond the Verdict.

Fred Gordon

By this verdict, the jury has found that death is a possible sentence in this case.

Fred Adams
