Yes, that is what I am hoping. That jurors reading stuff in anticipation of deliberation to bolster their arguments during deliberation have been exposed to a lot of the news about the holes in this case and what Merchan is really doing on the bench to facilitate a conviction

True, but he’s the prosecution’s star witness, who isn’t on trial, and whose testimony the jury is supposed to believe, in order to convict the defendant. Michael Cohen claims he did nothing without Trump in the loop. His admission on the stand blows that whole claim to smithereens.

What should happen. My take on the outcome:
1. Find Trump not guilty. Say they have reasonable doubt. Do this after a week of “deliberations.” This would be good for Trump and end the whole mess for Democrats. Best choice.
2. Hung Jury with one or two people finding him not guilt—in this way it would toss the mess into the judge’s hands if he wants a re-trial. He can use this as a way to tie up Trump for more time. Not a good choice as it keeps the weak case before the public.
3. Guilty of lesser charges, with only a small fine. No jail time and they can brand him a felon—to get independent voters and can label him a criminal BUT this might give Trump the Black/Latino vote.
4. Guilty on all counts and jail time. Turns him into a Political prisoner and a hero. This would be seen as a strictly political move. and gain Trump the election.
5. Full Conviction but, Biden pardons him for all crimes.This would be showing the human side of Joe and make Trump beholden to him before the debates. (Not going to happen).

Defense first?! Was not aware of that. Do they at least get a final rebuttal?

Who is this jerk they have on Fox now? What an incredible out-of-touch rant.

The defense can’t say anything they are forced to go first that way the prosecution can make up anything they want it’s why the judge did it it that way.

Inside Robert DeNiro's maggot infested brain. As "Let's go Brandon", is being chanted in the background as he blabbers.

I wonder if the two lawyers on the jury have a moral or legal (or both) obligation to maintain professional legal conduct on their part, even though they are acting as jurors here?

I always thought attorneys were automatically exempted from jury duty because as bar members they are considered "officers of the court". Has that changed?

I’m streaming Fox on XM/Sirius. Macho MAGA Man notes that DiNero is one of them.

FOX is showing Robert De Niro trashing Trump right now.

He’s having a really difficult time talking with the
Trump supporters yelling at him. What De Niro is saying is
pitiful.

Wow...the Democrats are really desperate!

Just had to turn off De Niro making a fool of himself outside the courthouse.

Think I will watch something a little closer to reality.....perhaps a rerun of Dynasty!

I wonder if its not automatic but customary that they not get picked/get stricken but nothing about this “trial” is normal.
