A verdict has been reached in the Scott Peterson case. It will be announced at 4 pm. I will be doing a live chat for the Washington Post immediately following the verdict. You can submit questions now. [Update: Transcript here.]

I'm also scheduled to be debating the verdict tonight on Fox News' Hannity and Colmes. Details and chat links to follow when available, this post will be updated and periodically bumped.

Now that it's a done deal, feel free to post your verdict predictions here. I'm still mulling mine over. The speed with which the jury returned its verdict after gaining its latest new alternate as a member may not bode well for the defense. Keep your eye on the background of the new foreman. I think he will be key.

Update: The cable news channels will carry a live audio feed of the verdict. There are no cameras in the courtroom.
