Trump Legal Team Pins Hopes on Hung Jury

“As the jurors filed into the Manhattan courtroom, day after day, almost none of them would look at Donald Trump. It’s one of those unsettling signs for defendants and their lawyers who worry about a guilty verdict,” The Bulwark reports.

“Those worries have only grown in Trump’s orbit as allies have all but abandoned hope of acquittal. Even Trump, though he railed Monday on social media about the judge and the case, has privately sounded a note of resignation…”

“But there is one clear hope MAGAville clings to: a hung jury that results in a mistrial.”

“If that happens, Trump allies suspect that it will be chiefly due to the one juror who has made friendly eye contact with Trump from time to time as the jury enters the room and walks right past the defense table.”
