If they have questions, they will write note to judge.

I wrote a note to a judge once while serving on a jury.  I asked a question about a photo.  The judge provided no help since it is something the prosecution should have brought up during the trial.

Robert De Niro 'got MAGAed' yesterday: Trump

Trump also weighed in again on actor Robert De Niro's bizarre Biden campaign speech and clash with protesters outside the courthouse yesterday, saying the star "got MAGAed."

“He’s a fool — he’s a broken down fool," the former prez said of De Niro, who was heckled and chased down by Trump supporters.

"Standing out there, he got MAGAed," he said.

Not yet.  They have to dine on their steak and lobster supper and enjoy a night in their 5-star hotel room first.

Report: One Juror Appears Sympathetic to Donald Trump

Wendell Husebø 29 May 2024

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.

Thus, the need for the six alternates.

I anticipate a quick verdict, but they'll at least get another free lunch.

All the media needs to get in place, the police in place in case of rioters (though doubtful) and his SS fully prepared.

Juan Merchan doesn’t care if any conviction gets appealed. He doesn’t care about any scrutiny or outrage about his unhinged conduct and lawless orders.

He wants (1) his name in the history books as judge in first criminal conviction of a former president and (2) help his daughter drum up more lucrative business deals with Democrats.

‘Misleading The Jury’: Alan Dershowitz Says That Alvin Bragg’s Team Told 2 Lies During Closing Arguments

HAROLD HUTCHISON  |  May 28, 2024  |  7:12 PM ET


Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz on Tuesday accused prosecutors from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of telling two lies to jurors during closing arguments in the trial of former President Donald Trump.

Closing arguments in Trump’s trial based on the indictment of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records secured by Bragg in March 2023 took place Tuesday. Dershowitz said on Tuesday’s episode of “The Dershow” on Rumble that prosecutors misled the jury about Michael Cohen’s claims regarding Trump’s motives for making the $130,000 payout to porn star Stormy Daniels as part of a confidentiality agreement being corroborated.  .  .

Well, you know they have to break for lunch and wait awhile to actually seem like they did some sort of deliberating. 

Perhaps like @Hoodat   suggested -- they want another steak and lobster dinner tonight, breakfast tomorrow, lunch and then they'll present the verdict - they could also stretch it out until Friday.  It all depends on how quickly they all want to leave this sham of a trial.

Secret Service met with Riker’s Island to prep for possible Trump jailing – report
May 29, 2024 | Chris Donaldson

The odds are so stacked against former President Donald J. Trump in the Stormy Daniels sham trial that the Secret Service is already making arrangements for his imprisonment.

According to a report from CBS News, representatives from the USSS have “met with local jail officials” to prepare for the possibility that rabidly partisan Judge Juan Merchan could order him to be locked up if the jury comes back with a conviction.

The Clinton's MO:

1)  Get him locked up in a jail cell

2)  Get him to commit 'suicide' or initiate some other medical emergency.

It is still unclear how Merchan will let us know the jury has reached a verdict.

Will they release smoke through the courthouse chimney in a Pope-esque manner?

Legal Experts: The Trump Trial Jury Instructions Are Not Normal

Katie Pavlich  |  May 29, 2024 11:15 AM


Closing arguments in the trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City, where he is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, have concluded and Judge Juan Merchan has given the jury their instructions. The instructions were given verbally and jurors won't receive printed copies, although they can ask questions.

According to legal experts, Merchan's standards for a conviction are abnormal and do not require jurors to reach a unanimous decision on the charges. Further, jurors don't have to determine what crime was committed.

"Judge Merchan has ruled that the jury does not have to agree on what that crime is. The jury could split into three groups of four on which of the three crimes were being concealed and Merchan will still treat it as a unanimous verdict," George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, who has been inside the courtroom, writes. "The jury has been given little substantive information on these crimes, and Merchan has denied a legal expert who could have shown that there was no federal election violation. This case should have been dismissed for lack of evidence or a cognizable crime."  .  .

Yes, the last thing the MAGA cult needs is a martyr.
Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution". These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing! - James Tiberius Kirk

So let me break it down into even smaller parts......

The jailing of a former POTUS hinges on two things.....

The honor and honesty of the publisher of the National Enquirer

Testimony of a serial liar,  perjurer,  and newly ID'ed thief Micharl Cohen.

Well, it's  a little late for that.  They aren't going to let him leave the court house, let alone NY.  Trump's biggest mistake I think may soon be realized; he should have bowed out and backed DeSantis who would have pardoned him if he was convicted.
