There’s no story to debunk. They had multiple days of deliberation so the idea of them finding him guilty the day before the verdict means nothing. Especially when you remember there’s 34 counts. It’s almost guaranteed that it would take more than 1 to vote on all those. So yeah, they found him guilty on some 1 day, went to bed, and finished the list the next day. That’s just not a story. Without even getting into the “rando sez his cousin...” aspect there’s already nothing there even if he is telling the truth.
What part of the jury instructions to NOT discuss the case outside of the jury room do you not understand? A juror (apparently female juror) has been claimed by Michael Anderson to have given him inside info on their verdict the day BEFORE the verdict was handed down. A big NO-NO.
Leaking information about the verdict before it’s been made is not OK.
If it WAS OK, then why would Merchan notify all the attorneys about it?
