Apparently, it’s rare for lawyers to draw objections during their opening statements, but it happened twice for Trump’s team today and the judge sustained both objections.

    they won’t “hold up the delivery of a verdict” lol, what, jury nullification occurs when on juror votes against the majority, rendering any agreement impossible, leading to a mistrial, or in some cases a complete reversal

      Jury nullification is when the entire jury finds someone not guilty when they clearly are. A mistrial or a jury failing to render a verdict is not jury nullification.

        This. If it’s a hung jury they aren’t found “not guilty”. They can be retried. If the jury collectively renders a not guilty verdict, they can’t be tried again.
