Verdict Reached On Some Counts In Manafort Trial

The jury in the Paul Manafort trial has reached a verdict on 8 of the 18 counts against Paul Manafort. They have found him guilty on those 8 counts they reached a verdict on.

According to Town Hall:

A jury made up of six men and six women in Alexandria, Virginia has come to a unanimous verdict on eight counts against former Trump campaign chairman and businessman Paul Manafort. 

He has been found guilty on five counts of filing false tax returns from 2009-2014. He was also found guilty on three charges of bank fraud. 

Manafort was charged with 18 counts, all felonies, and the jury could not come to  agreement on ten counts. Because of this, a partial verdict has been reached.

The news comes shortly after the jury submitted a second note to Judge T.S. Ellis Tuesday afternoon. A note submitted this morning stated, “If we cannot come to consensus on a single count, what does that mean for a final verdict?” 

It appears that the judge will declare a mistrial on the final 10 counts.
