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.

Breaking News, apparently 1 of 18 people doesn’t want to kill Trump for sport!
Biden will spike the football

How? If they move there, will they be surrounded by armed neighbors protecting tjem 24/7? That’ll be what they’re gonna need, I think.
We will need more than ONE juror to declare this a mistrial. With this bastard judge, he will just dismiss her and put in an alternate who will vote to convict so it has to be at least 3-4 jurors who say NO WAY this is NUTS and try to convince a few others to see it their way
And the blackmail fee for Bidem just went from 10 to 15%
On the only trial I’ve been on the jury, the alternates were replaced as soon as it went to the jury. If a juror needed to be replaced then it would have required a new trial. I don’t know about longer trials or New York law.
yeah has to be more than 1 juror, cant be 11-1 to convict the judge will just dismiss her and replace her with a trump hater who convicts him in two seconds
Oops....wrong past cut & paste.
It should be about.moving got West Texas.
Released, not replaced. I hate Otto Korrekt.
What if the jury comes with not guilty and the Judge sets aside the verdict to find him guilty anyway?
Not according to the law, but when has Merchan let the law get in his way?
Nope.
this same judge today is allowing this jury to mix and match like you do bread at costco, so yeah I can see this judge throwing this supposed Trump juror off and replacing her with a trump hater
Hope they don’t have a horse named “Khartoum”.
The biggest problem with a hung jury is that it drags this whole thing out a lot longer.
Unfortunately, body language is all we have at this point. And this can be even “thinner gruel” because, this juror might truly be sympathetic to the defense’s case, and yet come under such peer pressure from 11 other jurors, that he/she cannot stand up to the pressure and ultimately succumbs. We will never know who this was or what stand they took. Watch “12 Angry Men” to see how it is for one holdout on a jury.
BTW, on a lighter note, look up an old Dick Van Dyck show that was a really funny parody of “12 AM”. I think it was the 3rd season, but maybe not. Anyway, DVD is on a jury considering whether a voluptuous babe has stolen jewelry. He is the only holdout on the jury, and everyone (including his wife!) thinks he is holding out because he is captivated by her. And he does incredibly embarrassing things in the courtroom. A very funny show, especially if you are familiar with “12 AM”.
Some of my co-workers are lefties and even they don’t like what’s going on, and for the same reasons. They know Trump is popular and Biden is not. It could ruin their ‘party’ for decades................
I’ve been on a hung jury. It felt like a waste of time since we never came to a verdict. It wasn’t a big trial, but it was interesting how strongly all the jurors held onto their beliefs.
I can only pray for the best for President Trump.
Otto Korrekt.
Haha...love that
My guess is this goes on another 5 days
That is so against-the-law that it would be equivalent to the judge vacating the verdict outright and imposing his own verdict.
If he did that, I'd expect the SCOTUS to step in outright, and nullify everything.
