My comment: Unfortunately, out of ignorance ("34 charges so he MUST be guilty of something") or bad faith, the jury might convict anyway.
Does it really matter to the jury?

Based on the two previous NYC cases that Trump lost — the EJ Carroll rape allegations and the Trump Real Estate loan deal ( where Trump was asked to pay and outrageous nearly half a billion dollars ), I bet my money on BAD FAITH.
The CNN author somehow negates to state that one of the star witnesses owes Trumps hundreds of thousands and admitted she can speak to dead people.
In my opinion, this hand picked Jury knows what the Judge believes they should do. They produce for the Judge.
I saw tonight on the news that Merchan’s jury instructions are going to be 700 pages.
Your satisfied as to Cohen’s credibility huh? LOL!
What was the underlying crime again?....I mean the one the prosecution will not name. What was that crime? We know it wasn’t a campaign finance violation. That’s already been tried and utterly failed. See Edwards, Jonathan. So...what was it?
Notice the subtle unconscious bias at CNN. “If one juror has uncertainty, there will be a hung jury… and Trump will walk free.” The use of the phrase “walk free” strongly implies that Trump is guilty and will be getting away with something.
Two attorneys on the jury so their is a chance for mistrial.
The entire purpose of this trial is to produce a headline 'Trump Convicted'. He will then appeal and win that appeal, but the damage will be done...
Will it sway any votes away from Trump? At this point that is highly unlikely... Trump is obviously being persecuted by his political enemies and anybody who says otherwise is full of sh*t.
A very concerning tactic of late is that of the NY slimes, which has essentially morphed into a Democrat propaganda machine, attacking individual Supreme Court justices in an attempt to discredit them... That obviously won't work... The Supremes are a separate arm of government and thus unaffected by the driveling complaints and whining of the leftist propagandist at the NY Times.
But it does indicate that when the SCOTUS does overturn all these illegal charges and convictions of Trump, that the left will claim political bias on their part... When they will actually rule based on law and constitution, not party affiliation.
The judge has instructed the jury that a crime occurred. The prosecution didn’t need any evidence.
I think that Alan Dershowitz put it very well when he said that the day he spent in the courtroom shocked him more than he's ever been shocked in his career.
Yeah. Like admitting he stole tens of thousands of dollars from his employer.
If the jury convicts, they will live in infamy as the 12 who allowed America to crash. They will have their pictures in history books.
Isn't that why cross-examination exists?
OJ Jury in reverse, will vote to convict while the world vomits and the leftists writhe in ecstasy.
