it should be in the jury's hands today. they could be out for days or minutes, no way to predict. they are supposed to review all evidence.
if the verdict, which is pretty much a foregone conclusion, is guilty, then the same jury will sit for penalty phase and decide on life or death penalty.
during the penalty phase, family members of the dead victims will be heard if they decide to speak.
edit later to add, the jury has it, 5 men, 7 women.
Six of the 17 counts hayes faces are capital felonies.
