Not a lawyer here.
Trump has 34 counts against him to be decided upon by the jury.
If even ONE count is a hung jury, does that create a mistrial for the whole case and require starting over? What about if they convict him as guilty on some and hung jury on others?
Does he get sentenced on the guilty counts and possible retrial on only the hung jury counts or does a hung jury result on even ONE of 34 counts toss the whole thing back for possible retrial?
Others can correct if this isn’t correct, but I think the 34# was rigged up as that number to fool people into believing they’re 34 separate entities when they are essentially the same thing (whatever that “thing” is) counted as if separate.

No, a jury can partially convict. It would be a mistrial on the undecided counts only.
I can’t see that happening here, since all the charges are the same, just for each individual document. No way people are going to be convinced on some of the documents and not others.
