He’s guilty!

But check out this sentence toward the end of the article:
At least two attorneys hoping to file wrongful arrest suits on behalf of McCraney, had jurors found him not guilty, left the courtroom in disgust after hearing McCraney’s testimony.

Excellent--one of those Irish nig*ers removed from society who could not comply with society's unfair request of him to refrain from committing felonies on the people he met.
How about a 500 mile wide LASSO to round up the rest of them.

So clearly the jury didn't buy the ridiculous consensual sex fairy tale. Perhaps some of their comments will be reported in the coming days.
Seems the jury will also decide punishment: life w/o parole or death. I do not expect death.
Will the verdict be appealed?
There has been a steady drip drip of these cold cases being solved by advances in processing of genetic material plus access to specially formatted databases of human genomes plus sophisticated algorithms to scan these databases looking for relationships and family matches. Of course none of this modern technology would be of use if evidence kits for the unsolved crimes had not been saved.
"At least two attorneys hoping to file wrongful arrest suits on behalf of McCraney had juror found him not guilty left the courtroom in disgust after hearing McCraney's testimony."
As noted, there were some deep pockets paying for the defense. The same went for the "wrongful arrest" suit lawyers. They wouldn't have been there if not well paid.

I have to wonder if those pockets are deep enough to keep those lawyers working indefinitely on this case...looking, reviewing, finding "new evidence", something...anything to cast doubt on the prosecutions case. Then they go to the court of public opinion and people start wearing "free Coley McCraney" t shirts and putting his name in the "innocence project", the CP5 start giving interviews about their brotha falsely convicted in prison etc...If none of that started already I'm kind of doubtful but when it comes to race politics, nothing surprises me anymore.

YEP. No ghetto lottery with 50 % going to the lawyers.
They ARE coordinated,I'll give them that.SJWs first,then msm grabs the story fed to them,the mayors,police chiefs and judges back the others up--they all keep the b.s. moving--like the Warner Brothers cartoon where you see ants marching toward a picnic spread and eventually taking everything away.
In America,the liberal ants have almost taken everything away.

"YEP. No ghetto lottery with 50 % going to the lawyers."
That somewhat undercuts the claim "deep pockets" was the reason the lawyers were in the courtroom (assuming they were) waiting to file a "wrongful arrest" suit, doesn't it?
Anyway, how does a "wrongful arrest" suit makes sense here? Clearly the DNA result was enough "probable cause" for an indictment. There was also a preliminary hearing in 2019 where both the prosecution and the defense appeared, and a judge decided there was enough evidence to proceed to trial.

In the preliminary hearing McCraney's lawyer made the obvious point that semen alone does not indicate or prove rape. But I see no explicit mention of consensual sex (although it may be implied).
Remember that McCraney denied knowing the girls at the time of his arrest and indictment. I think the first time the consensual sex story was heard was during opening arguments. McCraney later told the same consensual sex story as a witness. It seems McCraney and his defense came up the the consensual sex story in the time before trial. I guess they decided on that story to explain the DNA evidence, and that they could explain why he denied knowing the girls at the time of his arrest and indictment.
So I don't think a "wrongful arrest" suit makes much sense here. There was plenty of reason to arrest, indict, and put McCraney on trial.
Also I doubt "deep pockets" was the reason the lawyers who left after McCraney's testimony (assuming they were there and did leave) was the reason they were there.
It may well be that "deep pockets" paid for his defense. Perhaps this will come out later.
Regarding the consensual sex story, here is a summary of the opening arguments:
https://dothaneagle.com/news/murder-trial-begins-after-two-hour-delay/article_8e29d02c-def0-11ed-be9a-ffdabb2b80aa.html
[“Coley McCraney was a player back then,” McCraney’s defense attorney David Harrison said, adding that McCraney, an over-the-road truck driver at the time, had found Beasley and Hawlett at the gas station the night they said they were lost and “talked, socialized, and had sex with Beasley.”]
This seems to be the first time the defense made, on the record, the explicit claim of consensual sex (?). And it is portrayed more as a chance encounter. There is no mention of McCraney having met JB earlier. Why not mention that here? Instead he says McCraney "found Beasley and Hawlett at the gas station the night they said they were lost".
The claim that McCraney met JB weeks earlier, that she called him a couple of times, and that they agreed to meet on the nite of the murders does not appear in this account of what McCraney's defense said during opening arguments. It seems the first time that story was told was when McCraney himself told it on the witness stand.
If "deep pockets" were behind McCraney's defense, they should have gotten a better lawyer.
McCraney has just been sentenced to "Life Without Parole."

A different lawyer would have made no difference. There have been plenty of trials, both civil and criminal in which big-name, expensive lawyers bury their clients.
