I hope so too, Astro.  It does seem to me things have been drawn out unnecessarily, which is not fair on a man of his age.  The judge told the jury not to restart deliberations till 2 pm yesterday, even though they were sent home by 5 pm the day before (ie did not have a particularly long day).  It's almost as though the judge wants to prolong things.  The result is another weekend with no verdict.

If he is innocent, he's been through one heck of an ordeal.  If he is guilty, the sentence should be the punishment, not the trial.
