"description": "Day 36 opens with the standard jury poll before deliberations resume. During the lunch break, the jury signals it has reached a verdict, then almost immediately retracts that signal — prompting Judge Cannone to seal the preliminary verdict slip as a court record while emphasizing that no verdict exists until announced in open court. Later in the afternoon, the jury returns a formal verdict: not guilty on count one (murder in the second degree), guilty on the lesser included offense of OUI on count two, and not guilty on count three (leaving the scene after an accident resulting in death). Judge Cannone confirms the verdict with the full jury, advises Read of her right to have the not-guilty records sealed, and — on the prosecution's recommendation of the standard first-offense OUI sentence — sentences Read to one year probation and enrollment in the 24D program. The retrial concludes.",
