FABULOUS FAB TOURRE VERDICT

After 2 and 1/2 days of jury deliberations the jury came in with a verdict that found the defendant, Fabrice Tourre libel on the majority of counts.
From the Wall Street Journal
The panel of nine jurors found Mr. Tourre liable on six of seven claims that he violated federal securities law by intentionally misleading investors. The jurors also determined he had aided and abetted an alleged fraud by Goldman.

He hardly flinched this afternoon, when the verdict was read by the court deputy.

The artist are not  allowed to draw a recognizable jury, so they are a blur. 


When the jury's note in the morning indicated they were leaning toward a decision not in his favor, he became more visibly concerned. ( below)

He was downcast and pensive, which was unusual because during the deliberations, he was chatting and talking with his lawyers and their staff, lots of friendly interactions.

Also Michael Santoro a professor from Rutgers University attended almost every day of the trial and has a blog about the case.
