Courtroom pool during verdict:
"Philonise Floyd has been praying during entire reading & looking down. His hands were clasped over his head in prayer whole time. As the 1st guilty verdict was read, his hands began shaking while clasped. They became shakier during 2nd reading"

More from pool reporter:
"There was no noticeable reaction from jury. Whereas during trial they each had their own idiosyncrasies, they remained still & quiet staring at the judge until they were called upon by the judge. No noticeable emotional reactions from them throughout."
