squistion

1. It is reasonable to believe that it has happened. 2. Is that the case here? 3. The jury has to unanimously agree what the crime is here, but they don't have to agree on the means used to achieve it.

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1796274169727901984 New on @MSNBC: Judge Merchan is going to excuse the jury today at 4:30pm.

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796267459005043194 So the update is that there is no update. The jury continues to deliberate. Recall: yesterday, Judge Merchan told the jurors that they would stay until 6 pm ET today. Let's see if there is any activity before then...

If he has been reading my updates by Katie Phang, then he has been right on top of it.

I don't see any violence coming from the left even if Trump is acquitted of all charges. I saw Chris Hayes on MSNBC last night and he said (paraphrasing) that no matter what the jury verdict is, this trial shows that the legal system worked and that no one is above the law.

Yes, I think what we just saw is an example of what they mean by Make America Great Again.

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796233527744180579 From @LauraAJarrett: As Trump passes the time in his courthouse holding room waiting on the jury to finish its deliberations, NBC News has learned he has managed to get a TV put in the room today (he didn't have one yesterday). When asked what channel the TV is turned to, the source demurred.

I am sure he does.

Meanwhile, outside the Courthouse: https://x.com/ScooterCasterNY/status/1796224432106787274 (video clip at link) #NOW Trump Supporters TEAR UP SIGNS of Anti-Trump protester, shove boobs in her face and break into a SHOVING MATCH outside NYC Court during Trump’s Hush Money Trial

Yes, it is. He says: "The outside world is watching and the outside world is just not going to bring their business to New York. And that is going to cost the city trillions and the state trillions and trillions of dollars"

Katie Phang explains the elements of the felony crimes that Trump is facing. https://x.com/MSNBC_reports/status/1796205202770407877 (video clip at link) What is the alleged crime? @KatiePhang joins @jdbalart at the Big Board to break down the jury in former President Trump's hush money trial and what Trump is being charged with.

Oh, the irony.

https://x.com/Acyn/status/1796172195271741472 (video clip at link from earlier today before deliberations resumed) Trump says New York will lose “trillions and trillions of dollars” because of his legal issues.

This was discussed at length yesterday in this thread so I don't really want to rehash it, but no, it is true that they "didn't have to unanimously agree on which (predicate) crime Trump committed."

Yes, in all criminal trials in New York, from my understanding, because the jury instructions are not considered "evidence" in that jurisdiction.

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796199804332093441 The last read back has completed. The jury has left the courtroom to resume their deliberations.

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796188485570740247 The court reporter is asking the questions and her colleague is seated in the witness stand answering them. They've read back the second and the third portion read backs also so far. To be clear: the two sides agreed on three of the four testimony readbacks last night. There was one disputed read back (Pecker's testimony regarding the 2015 TT meeting). The judge ruled this morning on what was going to be the extent of the read back.

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796187210363843024 The reading back of the jury instructions has concluded. We are now on the court reporter doing the first read back of Pecker's testimony.

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796179599128137866 Several jurors are taking notes as Judge Merchan reads back this portion of the Jury Instructions. Each and every juror is engaged and their body language appears that they are focused on Judge Merchan and what he is reading. Several continue to take notes as Merchan speaks.

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796177875667685625 Judge Merchan now reads from the Jury Instructions beginning at Page 6 and will read through Page 35.

It is one of those think that cuts both ways and legal commentators are not all in agreement what it means. But it disputes the claim that has been made that the case is rigged with jurors against Trump (why would they bother to have this testimony read back to them if they have already decided he is guilty?)

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796177633463378346 The jury has entered the courtroom and has been seated. The foreperson asks for the instructions to be read back first.

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796174526645944750 JUST IN: The jury has another note. (Note #3) It appears the jury wants a readback of how they should consider the evidence, including what inferences they can draw, as well as a re-read of the instructions pertinent to Count One. Judge Merchan says he interprets their request as asking to be re-read pages 7-35 of the jury instructions. In addition: The jurors also asked for headphones for the laptop that is inside the deliberations room with them. Judge Merchan responds that he can provide headphones or speakers, and the parties ask that he give both to the jury. The note becomes Court's Exhibit #6.

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1796172721178468431 It’s Day 23/Day 2 of Verdict Watch of Trump’s NY election interference trial. The jury returns at 9:30 am ET to resume deliberations. But first they will have 4 read backs by a court reporter of testimony by key witnesses, David Pecker and Michael Cohen. The jury will also advise Judge Merchan as to whether it wants all of the jury instructions read back or just a select few. Court is now in session.

No, not just when pressured. Snopes has never claimed that their fact checking is infallible. When they have made an error and it is pointed out to them, they always make a correction.
