Manafort jury form confirms 11-1 split


Washington (CNN) When Paul Manafort's jury of 12 Northern Virginians couldn't reach a unanimous agreement on 10 criminal charges, it was because of one juror. A photocopied version of the jury's original handwritten verdict form, released Thursday by the federal court, confirms that Manafort's jury hung 11-to-1 on 10 counts of foreign banking and bank fraud crimes. The jury ultimately reached unanimous guilty verdicts on eight crimes, for tax fraud, bank fraud and a fraudulent foreign banking disclosure in 2012. The verdict form clearly shows how the jury placed checkmarks next to Manafort's eight convictions. It also appears jurors almost convicted Manafort on two additional charges, for foreign banking violations in 2013 and 2014.
