Ok, but that's an entirely different bet?

You claimed that we all know "damn well" that it will be NG's all the way down. Which means 408 votes for NG, and 0 votes for guilty.

I think you have to have AI read them out... or cheaper still, txt to voice.  After all the payers are custom, and the txt is uploaded to the platform buy the sucker user.   Otherwise the hiring and writing the job profile is just too awkward.

I think hung jury is equivalent to not guilty for Trump, politically. It feeds into his "witch hunt" narrative and continues to drag the case out forever.

I'm just incredulous that anything meaningful is ever going to stick to him. We've had that football pulled out from under our foot too many times already.

I didn't realize that wouldn't be "not guilty".  The question stands:  would he walk or would he have to be re-tried?

Hung jury leaves open the possibility of retrial.

I thought all criminal convictions required a unanimous jury verdict. 

They have to be unanimous on guilty or not guilty.  If there are varied manners and means by which the crime can be committed, they may not have to be unanimous as to how he committed it (depending on the charges in question).

Jury note has four requests:

1. Pecker's testimony regarding the phone conversation with Trump while in a meeting

2. Pecker's testimony regarding the trump tower meeting where the conspiracy was agreed upon

3. Cohen's testimony regarding the same trump tower meeting

4. Pecker testimony about a decision not to finalize one of the aspects of the deal with Karen McDougal

Surly is awesome. Texas coming to the SEC makes us better in every sport, and increases our academic prestige. I think only 3 or 4 SEC institutions are AAU members. I know this won’t be popular, but Texas and Florida are very similar in academics and athletics, granted not with your past history. Both Big-Brother land grant universities, both hated by the A&Ms and FSUs of the world because we are what they ain’t.  

Thanks for the kind words. 

Now why wouldn't that be popular? We're very similar, though I think not as similar as we are with Meatchicken.

Although the jury will just be told they have to rely on their memory, I don't see how this can possibly be good news for Trump.

I hope nobody reading this is that stupid, but anyone thinking the outcome of today’s events will be Trump in jail and/or ineligible this November is really really setting themselves up for disappointment.  Even if they come back with a guilty verdict (HUGE IF), he will appeal and tie this up until past the election.  The earliest possible solution to the Trump problem is if he loses this fall, but far more likely not until he dies, which could be a decade or more away.

Reporting from inside the courthouse

Typically, when jurors request to hear testimony, they return to the courtroom and the relevant portions of the transcript are read aloud by the court reporters. Sometimes court reporters have a little fun with this, doing impressions and imitating accents. I’d be surprised to see that here. The court reporter is already on the witness stand, waiting for the jury.

[Foosters 18292]

"read back" is a regular part of criminal trials in CA

There will be no convictions or retrial.  But have a good look at him.  He’s dying. He doesn’t know It.  But his body does

Yes, but a guilty verdict is the only hope we have of moving the needle AT ALL for "undecided" or "independents".  Acquittal and it's a permission structure for a fuck ton of people to vote for him.

Thank you for reminding us what we already know. Regardless whether you think a guilty verdict here will have any effect on the election, a not guilty verdict would be a disaster as he’ll be able to go bananas with “I told you so’s” and start shitting on the other, more serious, cases he’s facing, none of which will go to trial before November.

Again, we know he MUST BE BEATEN AT THE BALLOT BOX. (It would be nice if he’s tagged with a few convictions at some point too.)

I hate when the jury asks questions, because you spend the whole time wondering "what does it mean?  Is it good for us?  Bad for us?"  And I have yet to figure it out.

Also, the highest heart rates of my entire life have immediately followed the two most stressful words in the English language: "jury's back."  Seriously.  That moment is brutal to my lawyer brain and heart.  Then, waiting for them as the go through the verdict form, and writing down their answers on your notepad, because you have to do SOMETHING, you can't just stare at them as it's read.

The parties could agree to it. But absent that, my experience has been judges not wanting the written record to replace the overall impression of the testimony of a witness.

As far as I can tell, that was a translation. All of the other references I’ve seen regarding the four questions from the jury have just referred to Pecker’s testimony regarding the Trump Tower meeting.

Hopefully when they read his guilty verdict, they double mispronounce his first name "'Orenthal' J. Trump."
