Before addressing the jury, the judge said he wanted “calm” for the verdicts and warned that “anyone who makes a scene will find themselves in jail”.
The jury of eight women and four men had deliberated for six hours and ten minutes and now, on the 12th day of the case, they were about to answer two questions about two men.
Did Conor McGregor assault Nikita Hand?
They responded “yes”.
Did James Lawrence assault Nikita Hand?
The jury said “no”.
The court remained quiet.
Then, details of damages awarded against Conor McGregor were announced.
There was a bit of back and forth before the judge finally clarified that the total damages amounted to almost €250,000.
With that, the case was over.
