Waiting For The Verdict
May 27, 2026 Season 6 Episode 20
Karen Koehler and Mo Hamoudi

The trial ends, the courtroom empties, and then comes the part nobody romanticizes: waiting for the verdict. After weeks of jury selection, motions, testimony, and closing arguments, we’re left staring at the one thing we can’t influence anymore. The jury takes a Memorial Day weekend pause, and that small delay turns into a magnifying glass on stress, control, and the way trial work gets under your skin.

Karen and Mo describe their feelings as they wait.
