That's why I wonder about the two lawyers on the jury.
If it is clear that there is no case here, that the law was misapplied, that Bragg failed to meet the threshold of proving his case, that there is no underlying crime that that bootstrapped the expired misdemeanors, that the legal expenses were properly booked as legals expenses, and that President Trump was not personally involved in the low-level day-to-day staff operations of their departments, and if these lawyers vote to convict President Trump anyway, can those two lawyers be brought up on ethics violations to the NY bar association? Aren't they still officers of the court? Don't they still have a duty to the law even though they are sitting on a jury?
The thought that these two lawyers would concoct a "Runaway Jury" against Trump is quite worrisome if there is no liability for ignoring their duty as officers of the court.

True. It does worry me that Bragg is trying to convince the jury though legal sophistry, and hopes that they are clueless or deranged enough to buy it.
Maybe even worse is Bragg creating this sh** show. Merchan has a chance to save his soul with a directed verdict of not guilty, or at least sane jury instructions.
