🚨 JUST IN: Judge Merchan has told the jury they do NOT need unanimity to convict.
This means:
➡️ Four jurors could agree on the first crime (Falsifying Records)
➡️ Four on the second (Tax Violations)
➡️ Four on the third (Fed. Election Violations)
And Merchan would STILL… pic.twitter.com/BzJif1PTLZ— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) May 29, 2024

May the jury rebel.
I’m hearing there are two attorneys that made it on that jury, FWIW.
Re Jurors:
No, no, no! I don’t think I can handle it if he goes to jail.
Pray!
the same crap was pulled in Illinois Gov. Blagojevich’s re-trial.
The tyrannical judge's misstep would historically be solidly overthrown; two SCOTUS rulings have established that, one in just the last two years.
So the question is: if convicted under these Sesame Street Muppet rules, will the TDS insane Merchan consign Trump to prison pending appeal. Another question: will the Casper Milktoast Whig GOP then go immediately to SCOTUS and demand a 'Stay' on the sentence pending appeal so that their candidate can campaign for POTUSâť“
Can ostriches join the Air Forceâť“
Here is a possible timeline for the appeal process:
If Trump is found guilty, his defense team will likely file a notice of appeal within a few days or weeks.
The appeal will be reviewed by the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court, which may take several months to review the case.
If the Appellate Division affirms the verdict, Trump’s defense team may file a petition for leave to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals, which could take several more months.
If the New York Court of Appeals grants leave to appeal, the case will be heard by the Court of Appeals, which could take several months to a year or more to render a decision.
If the Court of Appeals affirms the verdict, Trump’s defense team may file a petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, which could take several months to a year or more to be heard.
Overall, the appeal process can take several years, and it is difficult to predict with certainty how long it will take for Trump to appeal Judge Merchan’s verdict.

Does not look good.
Although, from the looks of things when Trump wins in November he pardons himself and is out of jail or house arrest or whatever this idiot judge sentences him to.
