the verdict was announced at 1:35 PM on June 9.
The timing is wrong: news outlets covering the trial live reported that the jury reached a verdict at 1:45 p.m., with court resuming at 2:05 p.m. for the announcement.
Full reasoning
Multiple contemporaneous live updates place the verdict later than 1:35 p.m. FOX 4's live coverage says "1:45 p.m. Karmelo Anthony verdict — A verdict has been reached. The court will resume at 2:05 p.m." and later logs "2:30 p.m. Guilty of murder" when the guilty verdict was reported from court. CBS Texas likewise reported "At 1:45 p.m., officials announced a verdict has been reached in the case." So the article's statement that the verdict was announced at 1:35 PM is inconsistent with the live reporting timeline; 1:45 p.m. was when outlets reported a verdict had been reached, and the in-court announcement happened after 2:05 p.m., not 1:35 p.m.
