The DA prosecutor has to convince 12 that the defendant is guilty.
The defendant’s lawyer only has to convince 1..................
Well that 1 and their family will have a very hard life if their identity is revealed, and you know it will be.
The judges jury instructions are gonna be despicable.
More than likely arrange it so Cohen AND Costellos’ testimony are to be disregarded.
Bottom line is the “judge” will secure a conviction.
The judge is going to make sure that the only things the jury gets to consider are things not in Trump’s favor. Merchan is the judge and the jury. He’ll see to it.
My question for others here is if and when Trump is found guilty, will the RNC still allow him to be on the ballot, or will they try to find a replacement at the convention?
>The defendant’s lawyer only has to convince 1..................
Yeah, I’m thinking that Trump gets out scott-free. I think you might see not-guilty. There are a lot of liberals on the jury, but I’d say half of the ones with a few brain cells are going to convince the other ones with no brain cells that there’s nothing there.
And leave the DOJ free to privately pay a call and “visit” with members of the jury about “their vote”.
The Deep State badly needs a win. Everything they do makes Trump stronger. This jury will convict and President Trump must appeal. But in the meantime, they have their win. Hopefully all it will do is give President Trump the assurance of ten more points in the polls and add another battleground state to his column.
