If tossed, Merchan wont get another bite at the apple in time to get a conviction before the election. Merchan sat a jury that pretended they haven’t been tainted by pre-trial publicity
One thing about the judges letter. In the judges letter, he put quotes around what the poster said. That is not what he said. The judge is paraphrasing it. Why put the quotes around it. A judge knows better than that. here is what the judge said :
“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work”. This is what the cousin actually posted: “Thank you for all your hard against the MAGA crazies. My cousin is a juror on Trumps criminal case and they’re going to convict him tomorrow according to her. Thank you New York courts”. Is the judge trying to hide how biased the jury is?
