@BasedSavannahMerchan is giving false instructions to the jury. This has already been settled by SCOTUS. The jury must be unanimous on every decision. Did Merchan actually go to law school?

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.
This was buried deep in the live three but I thought this deserved a thread of its own
Waht are the chances a guilty verict will be overturned on appeal?
So a set of three of 4 jurors each pick their own fave and they add up to 12?.................

Likely Very high but Biden would have his “Trump is a convicted felon “ campaign talk
I don’t know

UnAmerican.
Democrats cannot run from this attack on our judicial system.
Speak up now.
Probably ZERO before the election. This will go to a NY appeals court, which will certainly uphold the third-world kangaroo. It will have to hit a federal court for a chance.
So the fix is in he does not stand a prayer of a chance. Brace for impact folks because only God knows what’s gonna take place!

Judge Merchan just told the jury that they do not need unanimity to convict. 4 could agree on one crime, 4 on a different one, and the other 4 on another. He said he would treat 4-4-4 as a unanimous verdict.
Almost certain. Like another poster said, this is for democrat campaign purposes.
Perp walk?
“Whenever you make a payment, you have to choose how it’s going to be indicated in the General Ledger category, how to put the payment, where to post the payment to so when you print the General Ledger, it summarizes the expenses in that account,” McConney testified. “There are a number of accounts you can post it to. We were paying a lawyer, so I said to put it — posted to legal expenses in the General Ledger.”
That judge needs to be tarred and feathered as soon as this trial is over!
Stolen elections have consequences
I bet that Joe announces that he will not debate a convicted felon. It would be beneath the dignity of the Office of the President.
These instructions are truly absurd. First, Trump has to be convicted of a predicate crime before the NY case can proceed. Even if that is not true, there has to be unanimity on what the jurors perceive as the predicate crime. If 4 jurors think that Trump is guilty of a predicate crime, that means 8 jurors disagree.

Apparently it’s NY Law
This Merchan person is a tyrant.
Sic Semper Tyrannis
So the SOBs bring Mexico to America.
You don’t need a crime to convict, any fantasy crime will do!
Just make it up.
Cuz the Spanish Inquisitionist says so.
