John Rutter convicted Monday

I haven't really been keeping up with the Cameron Diaz topless photo trial - mostly because I've been playing Playstation 2 all day - But John Rutter was convicted Monday on all three charges filed against him, including forgery, attempted grand theft, and perjury. The sentencing is set to take place in September, but Rutter now faces up to six years in jail. Additionally, jurors deliberated for nearly four hours in total before handing back the guilty verdict, which doesn't make much sense to me because the guy confessed that her signature on the release form was fake. Once the dude confesses you don't need four freaking hours to figure out that he's guilty. You need about as much time as it takes for you to point your finger at him in the courtroom and yell, "You're guilty!"
