How could anybody know? Anybody stating a duration would only be speculating.

I read one article saying Friday…based on what the observed sitting in the courtroom.

All I heard was someone saying they thought the longer it takes, the more likely it is to be a hung jury.

Asked my lawyer husband this question earlier. He said there are 36 counts the jury has to consider and that if they are doing a thorough job they might not be done for a while. But who knows really?

I can’t imagine being on that jury. So many counts with so many details. What a nightmare.

I can’t imagine being on that jury. So many counts with so many details. What a nightmare. Shouldn't be too bad as 9 or 8 checks out of 12 were similar and signed by Trump, so in essence if they rule on 1 then the others will be similar. I believe the general ledgers of the 11 or 12 invoices is similar, so if they agree on one, all or most should be similar. |

Former lawyer for ex-TFG speculates ... The hits keep coming from Donald Trump’s former White House lawyer Ty Cobb, who led the the former president’s legal response to the Russian election interference investigation before he blasted Trump as a “deeply wounded narcissist.” Cobb told Semafor Tuesday he expects a guilty verdict of his former client in the criminal hush money trial. And he doesn’t think it’ll take jurors long to deliberate, either. “I expect a ‘GUILTY’ verdict, but only because the jury instructions as urged by the DA and adopted by the judge, over strenuous and well founded defense objections, virtually require conviction,” Cobb told the news outlet. “I reach this legal conclusion because of my long experience as a federal prosecutor and white collar defense lawyer, my reverence for the rule of law, and despite my view that Trump remains the greatest threat to Democracy in our nation’s history,” he said. Cobb predicted a verdict could come back but the end of the week. www.nj.com/politics/2024/05/ex-trump-attorney-predicts-trump-verdict-and-how-long-it-will-take.html |
