After 12 days of trial in Des Moines, a jury of five women and three men will begin deliberations following Wednesday’s closing arguments in the Jane Meyer trial.
We’d love to give you a prediction on the jury’s decision — hopefully that’ll come our way by Friday — but truth be told, your guess is probably just as good as any you’ll find in this blog. As you’d expect, there have been wildly varying testimonies from Meyer and the Iowa Athletics Department regarding her civil rights and unequal pay complaints. Both testimonies have been strong, but each side’s been able to chink the opposition’s armor in one form or another.
