Actually JG, all 12 did not have to agree. Read merchants instructions again.
If 4 jurors voted guilty, Merchan would consider that a unanimous guilty verdict. So while it may have been recorded as unanimous, only 4 had to agree upon guilty.
I mean seriously, they discussed 34 charges in less than 8 hours of deliberation?
I wouldn't be surprised to see 4 jurors buying new houses this summer.
That’s completely false.
All 12 Jurors absolutely had to be unanimous that he was guilty of falsifying business records to cover up another crime. They just didn’t all have to agree on what that other crime was, which is where your getting confused.

Again, wrong.
But it seems to be a mute point now...it was announced that the jury would find him guilty...a day before the verdict. Yet, they still seem to have deliberated a bit on the 30th to make it look good.
More proof it was rigged from the get go.

Yeah nah, I’m 100% right. But if you’re that far gone that you actually believe the Jury didn’t have to be unanimous, then there really isn’t anything I can say to convince you.
Good luck getting that mistrial because of something some random troll on the internet said.

If Trump had of just admitted he slept with Stromy then the prosecution would’ve never been allowed to use her as a witness.
Trump sure went out of his way to make it as hard as possible for his defense to argue his case.

Who cares if he slept with a porn star back then.

I wouldn’t personally care if Trump was sleeping with a porn star right now.
My point was just the stupidity of Trump for not admitting to it in court, the defense denied he ever slept with Stromy in both the opening and closing arguments. Just imagine if you were one of those Jurors, they’re supposed to believe that everybody else is a liar and Trumps just the poor innocent victim who did nothing wrong, yet he can’t even own up to what everybody knows is true.

Everyone " Cares " if it is Proven to be Untrue . Slander and False Witness are Not to be taken Lightly in a Country Ruled by Laws ......

Think about this for a Minute . Would a Middleaged Good Looking Billionaire who could Bed Any Beautiful Socialite other than his Present Wife IF he cared to , and being a known Germaphobe , go chasing the Tail of a Possibly Diseased Female Porn Actress just to Convince himself he's Still a Man ? Sorry , No Way a Sane Person buy's that Tall Tale .

Let's hope it isn't. He committed a crime, was found guilty. Why should the Captain Orange get special treatment? He just needs to be sentenced accordingly.

Stop being stupid.
You're setting a prescedent for absolute tyranny with this farce of a trial.
Everything about this trial was a fix, even I can see that in the UK. Right down to the judges instructions, the prosecutors wife's affiliations, the prosecutors own words prior to the trial.
Hillary Clinton got away with literal murder, and sharing classified material claiming she didn't know what the 'c' was for on documents and emails, even though she was a lawyer.
Hunter Bidens laptop turns out to be 100% real, but you're not up in arms about that either. Why?
Can you show me ANY previous ruling where someone is being charged for a felony offense (on a retrial) for OVERPAYING on his returns?
Just one. If not, I'd be quiet and let the adults talk. Your bias and party politic is showing. This was a disgusting miscarriage of justice and puts your entire legal system into disrepute - America is becoming a banana Republic, you have a leader that matches it too, he literally soiled his nappy on the world arena. . . . How apt.
God appoints leaders that reflect their country, America is now a Godless, confused nation, incontinent on the world stage, literally.

If Merchan was smart, he would give Trump probation, which would make it less likely for an immediate appeal to be granted.

And with the multiple choice options, how is an appeals Court going to review the case.
If the appeals court rules the conduct would have been a violation of tax laws but not campaign laws, how will they know if the decision should be overturned?
They won't know.
And that's exactly why Merchan wrote it the way he did, so the Appeals Court could not claim no law was violated because they won't know the exact law.
