"It was a long night. I was unable to sleep and yesterday was a long day. I'm very tired," Supalo told FOX.

Ron was the holdout juror and changed his mind to a "guilty" verdict once considering the hearsay evidence.

"The deliberations are the hardest part of the trial," he continued. "I found that out the last two days. There were a lot of things…about ten different things I needed clarification with today, specifically the hearsay evidence and some of the circumstantial evidence too. That for me, that's the law. The instruction said we can consider that, and so we did."
