I'm not sure if family will give a statement or not. Waiting to find out.

Donahue, as he left the courtroom, looked at Halverson and his family and said "It should of been worse than what it was. F**k you."
Sentencing will be reset. The defense has a conflict with April 28.
Donahue kind of laughed when the verdicts were read.
Sentencing will be April 28.
Jurors are dismissed. Judge will go back and talk to them, which is usually what happens.
All jurors confirmed the verdicts.
Judge Bruns is polling the jury.
Donahue is found guilty of attempted murder, two counts of first deg robbery, willful injury, attempt to elude, trafficking stolen weapons, disarming peace officer, felon in possession of firearm, false imprisonment and false imprisonment.
Halverson and his family just arrived. Should start in a few minutes.
Several law enforcement officers and some prosecutors and staff from the county attorney's are in the courtroom for the verdict.
They are going to wait for Deputy Halverson and his family to arrive before they announce the verdict. The jury hasn't come in yet.
Still waiting. I think prosecutors are only ones missing.
I'm hearing that there is a verdict. They are contacting everyone.
Good morning all! Here on verdict watch. I think the jurors are still coming into the courthouse. They will resume deliberations today. There might be a verdict today today, but it's like predicting weather in the Midwest - usually partly foggy with a chance of more waiting.
Clearly, I need more coffee. I will update you and be live when the verdict comes in.
