That said, it is a really good reason to keep jury members anonymous.

But rather than the whole jury going that route resulting in an acquittal, more likely one or more MAGAt would be out of step with the rest of the jury and result in a hung jury and mistrial.

First, Jury Nullification means that ALL the jurors refuse to convict. Do you SERIOUSLY expect that to happen?

Second, ONE Juror refusing to convict results only in a Hung Jury and a retrial. People have worried about this with every police violence/Trump behavior trial and it never happens. Because prosecutors know how to pick Jurors.

can't be on the jury. Each side only gets a limited amount of strikes against jurors.

That being said, it's extremely unlikely the entire jury would be Trump supporters (especially in DC), so a hung jury would be the most likely result other than conviction.

only if a Democrat wins, because if it is a republican, it is almost a sure bet trump will be pardoned

Am thinking it could function that way. Just one jurist could hang the jury. Rescheduling a retrial could then buy tramp some time.

All of the discovery and pre-trial motions would remain in effect.

That would require all 12 jurors to find him not guilty. As far as him being pardoned, yes that would probably happen which is why it’s so important that we win.

retrial before the next election. Thanks for the correction

Retrial would definitely not be held until after the election.

It is why the NY case is important. Jury will be tougher to mess with and a conviction cannot be pardoned by a sitting GOP President. GA is important for that reason - the Governor can't pardon him there either.

The problem Trump has in NY & FL is there are so many counts. He has to run the table. Not easy when the indictments have been put together as well as they have.

Manafort was convicted with some Trumpers on the jury.
Trump selected judges have gone against him in the 61 election case losses.

All of the indictments involved Grand Juries. So chances are decent.

Back on the 1970s.

“In the teeth of the facts”, which, btw, we did not dispute in our defense.

But, realistically, imagine trying to get 12 jurors to nullify in the cases against tfg.

Right?

Jury nullification is rare, because it requires all jurors to ignore the instructions of the judge as to the law. So when it happens, it is typically with a universally sympathetic defendant - under circumstances that make every juror believe that conviction would be unjust.

I don't see that happening here.

Responsibility. They often acquit on some counts.

That would require all 12 jurors and that ain’t happening. The worst that could happen would be a hung jury which would require a retrial. But the prosecutors are smart and will know how to filter out magats.
