Juror #2 an “investment banker” who gets all their news exclusively from
TrumpTruth social andElontwitter. The red hat is there to save the day, hang the jury on some nonsense to protect the cult leader.If I’m wrong, and the jury convicts, point to this thread and I’ll donate $25 to charity.
The observers in the court won’t say who it is, but I guarantee its that one.
Edit: I have chosen Special Olympics Canada as the charity.
Edit2: I was wrong, I will make that donation tonight and post the blurry receipt
To balance it out and give to charity regardless of the outcome, I’ll donate $50 if you’re right. That way there’s always something good happening even if it may be small.
Right on
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.
God I hope you’re right!
I dare not hope.
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.
I told you.
You won the bet, good on ya.
If you are right I will donate $25 worth of Monopolowa to my stomach.
Edit: convicted lol I donated the Monopolowa anyway skål or should I say dzięki or would it be prost fuck it cheers!
does lemmy have a RemindMe bot?
I have chosen Special Olympics Canada as the charity.
Well done!
I had saved this thread! Woo hoo! Glad you pulled through with your promise.
The observers in the court won’t say who it is, but I guarantee its that one.
Are the votes of the jury generally revealed?
No.
This is why there are alternates, tho. If the judge says the evidence is there to convict then the jury doesn’t have a choice. If one juror is a holdout they just get replaced by an alternate.
Um. This is entirely inaccurate. I think you may have been misled.
The judge is the arbitor of law (only) during the guilt/innocence phase. The jury is the arbitor of fact (only). Only the jury can determine what the facts of the case are, not the judge. In this way, only the jury can determine if sufficient factual evidence exists to fulfill the elements of a crime.
Alternates take the place of jurors who leave (usually for health or family emergency), but jurors cannot be asked to leave because of their decisions in deliberation.
Adding one other thing, a juror can be asked to leave for misconduct as well.

Hung is something Trump wished he was.
I certainly wish he was too. Just not in such a nice way :D
Quirk of English, but the word you’re looking for is hanged.

Wrong. Hung is correct in the same manner.
I reject your bullshit English rules that are outdated and churlish.
Chicanerous and deplorable.
It’s lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous.
I find this meatloaf rather shallow and pedantic.
indubitably
Covefe.
Be careful with what you post publicly, friend.
I hate Trump, but the SS takes comments like yours seriously enough to trigger an investigation.
Edit: I’ve been schooled. So it’s more like winning the lottery. But is that a lottery you’d like to risk winning, though?
You’re talking out of your ass. Stuff like this is mild compared to what it takes to trigger that kind of response. Millions of people make comments like these on the daily.
Millions, huh? Show me 100,763 examples.
7500 hardcore, actually-directed-enough-to-take-serious threats per year. Now, consider all the maga morons and their constant shit talking across the internet, and it’s easy to extrapolate.
That’s not the 100,763 I requested. Checkmate!
But more seriously, thank you for schooling me. I was indeed talking out of my ass, then.
Sorry for being so harsh with my wording; I live in the south, so I’ve gotta deal with a lot of MAGA assholes and it’s kind of ingrained itself into my personality a little. Also, thanks for looking out for me, I know you were just trying to make sure I wasn’t targeted :)
Some time back he might would have been for treason.
You know what they say about men with tiny hands…
That’s been obvious since the beginning.
I mean I dont see how their dick size affects it but ok
