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.
Thank you for responding. I think I understand your point; just wondering if the jury (unpredictable in theory) might hang on some or vote one way or the other on all of the 34 counts and what that means afterwards.
If they DON’T vote the same on all; either hung jury with holdouts, guilty, or not guilty, can Merchan go ahead and sentence Trump on the guilty ones and only have Bragg decide about refiling on the hung jury ones?
Or does a hung jury hold out on ANY of the 34 rubber stamp counts mean a hung jury for all of them and Bragg has to refile all of them for another trial?
Just being picky because it makes a huge difference here and have seen different things stated as the answer sort of, but not convincingly.
Someone legal should know here and this point should get discussion in news articles but if it has, I haven’t seen it above the chatter noise.
Again, thanks.
