He only needs to be found guilty of one count to "officially" be a criminal. Even so, I seriously doubt the GOP convention has the spine to dump him.

Wouldn't need a jury if a judge knew how to do their job.

[@thomastackett2577]

Trump's behavior in and out of court during the trial is a lot for a jury to hit hard.

[@sherryhumphrey3923]

Jury is not suppose know what is being said outside of court, video media, etc., How was it that most of the jury members seemed bored & thought the case moved too slowly. Oh, also what was the charges, Crime & what law(s) are they citing was/ were broken? Stormy was a side-show & if Cohen was a liar & a thief/ embezzler back years ago what has changed?? People need to ask themselves, why was it that the DOJ, federal litigators would not take the case but a state would?? Justice is surely blind if a corrupt NY system can be impartial. ⚖️🇺🇸🦅

[@afry6400]

@@sherryhumphrey3923 Are you really trying to be so willfully ignorant? It isn't like the issues haven't been talked about at length by lawyers on several outlets at this point. Stormy's testimony was about the fact that she was being paid to keep quiet and that there was something to keep quiet about. That's a no brainer. She gave more than enough details to establish that. The accusations are using campaign money to reimburse Cohen for paying her for her silence. That's not legal. Then he lied in the financial records about that pay off reimbursement being legal fees. It wasn't and lying about the finances is also illegal. If he had just paid her with his own money and been honest about it then nobody would have been the wiser and he'd not be in trouble now. It was taken up in NY because that's where the crimes were committed. That's usually how it goes unless they can prove a good reason to hold trials in another state or in a federal court. It would help if you just buckle down and listen to the prosecuting lawyers statements to get the idea and then pay attention to the transcripts to see how their presentation went.

[@therock8288]

​@sherryhumphrey3923 they stated the underlying crimes early in the case. Bragg's team listed three such crimes that Trump intended to commit: violation of federal campaign finance limits, violation of state election laws by unlawfully influencing the 2016 election, and violation of state tax laws regarding the reimbursement. And the indictment showed the 34 criminal charges.

[@Gambit08]

We might never know this because of attorney client privilege, but I would not be surprised if Trump told his attorneys that he was going to exercise his right to testify unless Costello was called to the witness stand, and the attorneys complied since that was the more favorable alternative.
