The judge railroaded the jury into that decision.
Some facts he allowed to be ignored:
1. Falsifying business records has a statute of limitations. All the charges were TWO YEARS beyond it. How can charges be allowed beyond that date? Why even have SOL?
2. Did not allow an expert on election law speak for the defense. How can a judge not allow a defendant to provide his own witnesses on a matter of law the prosecution is hanging their whole case on?
3. Allow Stormy Daniels to testify against the objections of defense counsel. She had NOTHING to testify about the charges—just solicitous and pornographic slander.
4. The instructions to the jury were designed to get a guilty verdict. The reason 12 jurors sit on the jury is because guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Telling them they all do not have to agree on every charge but can accumulate the guilt on them collectively is just criminal.
If there were a single Repub they would have not voted to convict. If you were on the jury you would have been outraged at the judge rulings. No, the judge made sure every juror in the pool was a hardcore Dem. He rigged everything.

And we don know the distribution of votes to get to 12 and the MSM is not bringing that important element up.
Marchan took,that break to,assess the legal,opinion that were trending negative to concoct his scheme which needs to be tested against any other precedent to then push for election interference angle to the Supreme court
Good stuff bud but tip of the iceberg for idiot judge.
Not to mention that merely serving on a criminal jury lends credence to the charges, even if they are bogus.
Discussion now is whether it can be leap-frogged to SC or has to meander through the NY state courts. Fifty bucks says every SC justice has a solid opinion at the ready if they are brave enough to take it on.
1. "The judge donated money... in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations—to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation."
2. Alvin Bragg boasted on the campaign trail in an overwhelmingly Democrat county, “It is a fact that I have sued Trump over 100 times.”
3. "Most importantly, the DA’s charges against Trump push the outer boundaries of the law and due process."
4. "The charges against Trump are obscure, and nearly entirely unprecedented. In fact, no state prosecutor — in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime, against anyone, for anything. None. Ever."
5. The DA inflated misdemeanors past the statute of limitations and "electroshocked them back to life" by alleging the falsification of business records was committed 'with intent to commit another crime.'
6. "Inexcusably, the DA refused to specify what those unlawful means actually were — and the judge declined to force them to pony up — until right before closing arguments. So much for the constitutional obligation to provide notice to the defendant of the accusations against him in advance of trial."
7. "In these key respects, the charges against Trump aren’t just unusual. They’re bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president and nobody else."
8. "The Manhattan DA’s employees reportedly have called this the “Zombie Case” because of various legal infirmities, including its bizarre charging mechanism. But it’s better characterized as the Frankenstein Case, cobbled together with ill-fitting parts into an ugly, awkward, but more-or-less functioning contraption that just might ultimately turn on its creator."
