BREAKING: Stalinist Judge Merchan Directs Jury to Choose Among These Three Crimes to Convict Trump – Jurors Don’t Have to Unanimously Agree!
The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 29, 2024 | Cristina Laila

The jury deliberations began on Wednesday after Judge Merchan instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed.

Judge Merchan is allowing the jurors to choose ONE of the three predicate crimes. Jurors do NOT have to unanimously agree on which of the three predicate crimes Trump committed.

Of course, this will make it easier to convict Trump.

Here are the three predicate crimes via Mark Levin:

The idea of jury instructions has always been hilarious to me. I don’t need a judge telling me what I can and can’t consider.
= = =

So the judge needs to define the words in the law?

The Consitiution was written for Me to be able to read and follow.

A lot of laws written that way too.

I’m not so sure about new laws, written by lawyers for only lawyers to ‘interpret’.

But I should be able to read the law, and judge from that.

PS side story.
One jury had a farmer on it. During deliberations he pointed out that he was familiar with the crime location and certain insect activity that he knew about did not support the prosecution. (Vague, I know, I forgot the details)

Not guilty verdict was rejected when it came out that he ‘added extra information’. New trial followed I think.

So five minutes before jury deliberations AND AFTER closing statements the evil bastard judge finally gives the jury crimes to pick and chose?

OUtrageous. The rule of law is DEAD in this country.

That’s exactly what happened.

The judge keeps handing Trump’s defense team more grounds for appeal if the jury comes back with a guilty verdict.

Agreed!
Of the 5 GOP Senators/House members involved in the Russia hoax, only two are gone.
McCain, Linda, Romney, McConnell and Crazy Liz.

we’ve seen precisely zero evidence of any crime whatsoevee

but these jury instructions are good news
they mean that
just in case there’s any conviction, it will be a mistrial

then the DemoCommieNazis will have to decide whether to “try again” or not

every time they bring false charges against DJT, it raises his vote

methinks (can’t know, but think) that the DNC will “get it”.. that their abuse of the law and judicial system has been guaranteeing the D party’s loss in November

The 6th amendment says that a defendant in a criminal prosecution has the right "to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation"--too bad it doesn't specify that has to be done at the beginning of the trial, not after the defense has its last opportunity to speak.

The same amendment speaks of "compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor" which Merchan disregarded by refusing to allow the former FEC head to testify that Trump had not violated federal election law...which will probably be the most important of the three crimes the jury can pick from.

Previously I presume, the written instructions stated:

Your verdict, on each count you consider, whether guilty or not guilty, must be unanimous. In order to find the defendant guilty, however, you need not be unanimous on whether the defendant committed the crime personally, or by acting in concert with another, or both.

Although you must conclude unanimously that the defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means, you need not be unanimous as to what those unlawful means were. In determining whether the defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means, you may consider the following: (1) violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act otherwise known as FECA; (2) the falsification of other business records; or (3) violation of tax laws.
