NOTE: I personally am not going to guess what the jury will do. They should vote not guilty on every count, but I don't expect that. With 34 counts charged, Colangelo/Bragg have 34 chances that at least 1 of the verdicts will be guilty. It's true that these 34 charges are similar and nonsensical, but juries can do unexpected things.

A hung jury on any charge would be a mistrial, which Bragg could retry, and even if he could pardon himself of federal convictions if elected, these are NY state charges.

The counts in the indictment are actually identical, difference only being the dates. And therein lies the quandary. Jury deliberations will be a veritable Donny brook. Would love to be a fly on the wall!

Where the prosecution’s case is particularly weak is not offering any direct evidence a crime was committed. The NDAs were not a crime. Nor were the “falsified” business ledgers, as the prosecution failed to established any direct link to any other “crime.” Sans that linkage, no evidence of any crime, end of story.
