Jury reaches verdict in Atlanta schools cheating trial

Six men and six women convicted 11 or 12 former educators of racketeering for allegedly cheating on standardized test.

The verdicts were mixed for the lesser felonies with some defendants being acquitted and some being convicted in addition to the racketeering charge.

Only former Dobbs Elementary School teacher Dessa Curb was acquitted of all charges.

The defense attorneys have asked to poll the jury, asking each juror if this was their verdict and is it stil their verdict.
