The biggest problem with a hung jury is that it drags this whole thing out a lot longer.

My guess is this goes on another 5 days

I have a feeling we will get a guilty verdict pretty soon, today or tomorrow. But if the jury tells Merchan they can't reach a verdict, he will tell them to keep trying. So if it is just one holdout, that person may not be able to hold out indefinitely. But if there are two or three, there is more hope.

The judge certainly did his best to put cinder blocks on the scales of justice throughout the trial, and it is still a mystery why he was assigned the case.

(Someone on Fox has been using the "cinder blocks" metaphor, maybe Hannity.)
