    Nah. Most jurors are paying attention to the evidence. Trump supporters aren’t the lone rebels they think they are. There’s literally a mountain of evidence and the prosecutor’s closing argument was 6.5 hours long (not including breaks).

    Every other person in that jury room is going to want to go home and won’t put up with someone stopping them. Even if this dude tries anything (he probably won’t), he’s going to crack by day 3.

    I bet we see a guilty verdict for at least some of the charges within 3 days.

        Some jurors just asked for and received a laptop from the prosecution with all the evidence on it. That means they won’t have to ask to view individual pieces of evidence, which will make this much faster.

        That tells me they are interested in the evidence and that they want to get this over with. A possible quick (3 day) decision would mean they are done by Friday.

          All it takes is one traitor - one - and he walks.

            No, it doesn’t. You’re watching too much 24 hour news or something. These jurors don’t just silently vote, they discuss the case for the entire time.

            Any juror is going to be asked by the others how they came to their conclusion. There’s no way to get away with it without scrutiny. Trump supporters can’t stand scrutiny, especially not with this much evidence and 34 felonies! They should convict on at least some of them. Trump literally signed the checks.

              You’re being naive. MAGA fucktards are not the sort of people who give a fuck about facts and revel in the thought of pissing off the decent among us.

                No, you’re being naive if you think one person can stand in the way of 11 New Yorkers who want to go home for the weekend.

                  This got me good. I’m imagining a bro from Staten Island stuck in a dusty quiet room with bad coffee and New Yorkers from every borough 100% ready to cook.

                  He can’t log off. He can’t flee to his safe spaces. He can’t feed himself reassuring 4chan memes. He’s exposed. These are his neighbors. There’s nowhere to run. Will his fear and adoration of a wannabe dictator sustain him? Tune in next week to find out.

                    Worse, they’re all from Manhattan and 2 of them are lawyers. If they already scheduled a Saturday tee time and the weather is supposed to be nice… I wouldn’t want to be in their way.

                  This was all predicated on there being a MAGA traitor on the jury, which can only be known to the traitor himself. But you have fun stroking your dick.
