Merchan just delivered the coup de grace instruction. He said that there is no need to agree on what occurred. They can disagree on what the crime was among the three choices. Thus, this means that they could split 4-4-4 and he will still treat them as unanimous
So a dead misdemeanor for falsifying business records was zapped back into life by alleging that under NY election law 17-152 it was done to influence the election by the unlawful means of falsification of business records. It is so circular as to produce vertigo. So the jury finds some documents were falsified to use the unlawful means of falsifying other documents. That is only one of three possible crimes and the jury does not have to agree on which was the basis for their conviction.

I think there will be a guilty verdict because I think the jurors have been screened in advance. and key defense testimony has not been admitted. Biden and the MSM will say nothing except “Guilty Felon”. It will be overturned on appeal, but that won’t happen until the election is over.
Multiple Choice Verdict. Will go down in jurist prudence history.
What?!
Is this even a valid instruction?
If I were a juror, whether it is Trump or someone else, I’d be questioning the Judge’s instruction. You can’t have 4-4-4 is reasonable doubt, not conviction.
It still leaves the possibility that one or more juror thinks no crime was proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Surely, there is one honest appellate judge in NY who would overturn this Marxist, out-of-control trial judge.
Merchan is making up laws as he goes along. The SOB needs to be hauled out of the court and hauled up a street light.
With the outrageous number of reversible errors "judge" Merchan has committed during the entire course of this trial, it should be 100%
Merchan was not born in the US. Is he a DEI appointment?
The goal here is to sully Trump with the "convicted felon" label prior to the election. The Democrats are in desperation mode to stick it to Trump. That's why the corrupt judge has kept his thumb on the scale the whole trial in order to ensure the jurors are highly encouraged to vote guilty.
I'm not a lawyer but I believe only federal trials require a unaminous verdict among the jurors (or otherwise its hung) and that states do not necessarily require the jurors to be unaminous to convict - crazy as it sounds.
I believe that 2 people on the jury are lawyers.
In my opinion, if those 2 lawyers see this as “beyond a reasonable doubt”, they ought to be disbarred.
DOH! Rule of law. We musta forgot. As usual, democommie/proglibs only apply laws they like or agree with. Everything else? NOT their problem.
Also keep in mind...Trump had no chance to win NY...so he did NOT do it to influence NY at all.
Bingo! This is what it’s all about. And the narrative will be continual on a loop over and over and over again. Really folks I see no redeeming grace for this nation anymore. When a Colombian immigrant can throw out all manner of law for a fair trial which was designed for fairness for the American citizens out the window we are in dire straits! Just picture it …a Colombian immigrant, breaking every rule in the books of law to convict a former president! This from the most corrupt nation on the face of this earth! Wrap your brain around that. If that piece of shit is not held accountable for this effing circus then we the American people are truly, stupid fat, lazy and gutless!
They really think we will accept this and do nothing.
Some will.
Many will not.
They won’t be able to walk the streets.
THOSE WHO MAKE PEACEFULL REVOULUTION IMPOSSIBLE, MAKE VIOLENT REVOLUTION INVEITAVBLE. Jfk.
Thank you for posting this critical information.
I’ve come to the conclusion that they KNOW this case is dead as soon as it hits the appeals court, so all they are trying for now is a get a conviction any way possible in the hope that it will do at least a little political damage to Trump and make it harder for him to campaign and travel in the meantime as technically he will be “convicted felon awaiting sentencing” until the appeals court throws it out.
I think there will be a guilty verdict because the local community knows who the jurors are, and none of the jury wants to be known as the person who "let Trump off Scott free."
