I honestly don’t understand the 34 indictments brought against trump

Do the jurors have to convict on only 1 out of 34 to send him to jail ?

Do they have to hang on only 1 of 34 to set him free ?

I really don’t understand what’s going on.

If anyone can explain much appreciate it

Ever see the movie Back to School? Toward the end Thornton (Rodney Dangerfield's character) has to take an oral exam by all of his professor. One of them who HATES Thornton has only one question to ask... in twenty-seven parts.

(Thornton passes, much to the prof's chagrin.)

Same basic principle happening in Mad Merchan's courtroom. The leftists are making damn sure that something, ANYTHING will stick to Trump and bring him down.

They hope just one of the counts puts Trump where they can have him easily assassinated.

ALL ways from Sunday are on the table, by ALL the World’s Evil Agencies.
Most especially, our own.

'I really don’t understand what’s going on.'

The jury doesn't, either.

Every charge is separate. They could theoretically convict on just one and acquit or hang on 33. But here it’s the same charge 34 times - one for each allegedly false entry - so it is highly unlikely that they’ll believe there’s enough evidence for some charges but not others. But yes if hypothetically that did happen he would be convicted of a felony (just not 34 felonies).

Explanation: He Trump. He has orange hair, he’s a Republican, therefore he
is guilty. It just a matter of how long a sentence he will get, and where he will be doing hard time. Forget appeals - that will take months while DJT rots in some prison. And therefore, will NOT be able to campaign. Which is the point of the whole thing.

Trying to understand more than that, you will need to buy a very large amount of headache medicine.

At least 1/34 on records keeping (state charges)
= Misdemeanor

If all jurors agree that he committed at least one the three underlying election law criminal charges (federal crimes), they do not have to agree on the same charge they just have to believe any one of three.
= Elevates the book keeping charges to Felonies.

The prosecutor cannot try him on federal crimes so he is trying to tie the very minor bookkeeping charges to the election law charges in hopes of turning them into felonies.

Idk but I’ve heard the jury doesn’t even have to unanimously agree on one single charge they can still find DJT guilty !!??

I think it was 34 payments. Thus a charge for each payment
