Report: One Juror Appears Sympathetic to Donald Trump
Breitbart ^ | 05/29/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 05/29/2024 9:16:15 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

One juror who sat for six weeks listening to the evidence presented in a Manhattan courtroom against former President Donald Trump reportedly appears sympathetic towards him.

The jury on Wednesday will begin to consider whether or not Trump, beyond a reasonable doubt, committed a crime of falsifying records to conceal a second crime. Many legal experts believe there is no good case against Trump.

Some legal experts, such as constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, expect the jury will either render a guilty verdict or produce a hung jury that results in a mistrial.

Just one? Hope this person can hold up against the peer pressure from the 11 other dolts that want to convict.

If Trump is convicted will he be sent to Siberia or given a makarov pistol with one bullet?

30 seconds after a hung jury verdict is accepted by "Judge" Merchan the identity of this juror will be made known and his/her life will become a living Hell.

Knowing this, I don't hold out much hope for even a single juror to hang the jury. Maybe, just maybe, if 3 or 4 jurors can band together and hold out, maybe. But not just a single juror.

That is great but be prepared for a guilty verdict. The fix is in. I would not get my hopes up for anything other than guilty.

The Commie/Rats seek a conviction, however, they will not be too disappointed with a hung jury. That is because they can immediately file and get on the schedule for another trail tying President Trump to this same courthouse for another 8 weeks during the summer / fall.

I am in no way a Trump sycophant ... but this process has been enraging.

Will you be voting for Trump?

I think the black male vote for Trump just went up to 40%.

“As the trial has progressed since April 15, these sources relate, this juror has appeared to nod along in seeming accordance with the defense at times. On other occasions, the juror has seemingly reacted favorably to and made eye contact with Trump’s congressional surrogates who began joining him in court in recent weeks.”

body language.....that’s it?
Pretty thin if you ask me.

That’s really the key. How much will this person be able to put up with. And will the others try to get him replaced. There are six alternates.

I’d rather that juror was sympathetic to the rule of law and blind justice.

You aren’t.

Even common people on the Left know what this is.

And they don’t like it.

Forget about the celebs and the talking heads on TV, they don’t matter to anyone but their tiny circle of friends. Anything they say is to promote their own careers, nothing more.

The Justice system in America will be irreparably harmed if Trump is convicted of a non-existent crime with non-existent evidence.

People all across this country will never trust the ‘system’ again.........

If jury deliberations reach an impasse, I expect the ‘Hanging Judge’ to interview the holdout, determine that they are guilty of some sort of misconduct, and replace that juror with one of the alternates - said process to continue until the jury reaches the ‘proper’ verdict.

Trump may be forced to stay in the NYC area waiting for a verdict,

Lots of impromptu rallies in the area over the next few days?

The juror in question should say two things: “It’s illogical.”, and “I vote Not Guilty.”.

Other than that, he or she should just wait patiently until told: “You can go home now.”

I’d like to believe it.

Have a hard time believing that don’t have a plan for a holdout Juror after all the other parts they crafted in this case.

And people, the NY Appeals Court Hates Trump. They will simply drag it out to achieve the Dem goal.
