This is an irregular sentence, so this is difficult. But "a not guilty verdict" is part of the prepositional phrase FOR a not guilty verdict, so I do not believe that it is acting as an indirect object. It is describing 'a unanimous vote'. If anything, 12:0 might be considered the indirect object. But it is an irregular construction for a sentence, having the numbers in there like that.

The direct object is it. (Made IT - i.e., the vote - unanimous.)

I would not take anything after the comma as part of the main sentence structure (direct/indirect object), as it is has the function of a relative clause describing the direct object (it). Often commas are used to separate clauses from the main body of the sentence, unless you are listing a series of items such as apples, oranges, pears, and bananas.

I think so. If there is a indirect object then it's "a not guilty verdict" because it recieves the action that Fonda made.

Yes. The indirect object is-
"a not guilty verdict"

Because indirect object precedes the direct object and tells to whom or for whom the action of the verb is done and who is receiving the direct object.
