Long Delay Expected
Although the jury’s decision came quickly, there is likely to be a delay of anywhere up to five years before the sentence can be carried out —if it is not reversed by a higher court. The speed of the decision caught court officials off guard. There was a delay of 35 minutes until Judge Brown could come from his suburban home and lawyers for both prosecution and defence arrived.
