Juror Sent Cousin Message Saying Trump Was Convicted A Day Before Judgement

Aren’t the jurors supposed to be in seclusion? This is the kind of thing that should lead to a mistrial

What should happen is that a mistrial is declared and a higher court jumps in to say “stop. This is insane. It would get crushed on appeal, and Merchan and Bragg are sanctioned.”

Judge in Trump hush money trial flags Facebook post claiming juror spoke about case

The judge who oversaw former President Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial in New York made the parties aware Friday of a post to the court system’s Facebook page.

In the post, a user said, “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”

Judge Juan Merchan said the comment, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine court system notice, posted on May 29, 2024, regarding oral arguments in the Fourth Department of the Appellate Division unrelated to this proceeding.

The notification by the judge did not ask the parties to do anything but seemed intended to merely flag them.

Will this mean anything? Could it short-circuit the need for an appeal?

(Breitbart) Under New York law, “a defendant can move to vacate a verdict on the basis of juror misconduct if and only if he can prove, by a preponderance of the evidence,” that there was misconduct, and that the misconduct “created a substantial risk of prejudice,” according to NBC News.

Why did the juror have any access to the outside to start with? That seems misconduct within the court.

    Mr Teach
    Are you accepting that FB post to be a “fact” ?
    Lol. Have you ever known FB to publish things that are not
    Other than your own political bias is there any reason to believe this to be true?

    Just one of the many reasons this verdict will be overturned on appeal.
    The jury wasn’t even sequestered. https://www.thepiratescove.us/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif

    It didn’t affect the outcome of the trial. The vast majority of the jurors were mostly not corrupt. https://www.thepiratescove.us/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gifAnyway, it is a good thing that jurors are discussing deliberations with family members. It is vital for democracy.

    As expected this has fizzled our ant the Trump lovers are disappointed again
    The single post of FB that started this turns out to be from a man that now admits that he just made the whole thing up. He has no cousin in the jury that convicted Mr Trump of 34 felones

    • L'Roy White says:

      Who’s disappointed? None of us care. The whole thing was a setup. The trial was rigged so we don’t expect anything. Just like hunter’s gonna walk. We’d be lucky if they fine him.

      You don’t seem to understand moron, the people love the idea that Donald Trump was convicted of the BS charge by a BS judge and a BS jury in the lying stinking BS state of New York. It just proves what we’ve been saying all along that the law has now been corrupted by the leftists in the Democrat party. We knew it, they proved it. This is gonna be the most expensive victory you’ve ever had in court.****

        The Trump campaign has raised $200M and counting since the, um… “verdict”.

          Famously, Mr Trump hates spending his own money for paying contractors such as his attorneys. He prefers his “supporters” pay his bills, including the half a $billion in damages he owes.

          • drowningpuppies says:

            Famously Rimjob worries more about Trump finances while pissing away $50M of investors money while watching Galera stock price go down the toilet.
            Priorities one would guess.
            Way to go, Rimjob! It wasn’t actually your money anyway. Right?

            Leith Honda in Raleigh NC has a rating of 2.8 out of 5.0!!!

            They had more ‘1’ ratings than any other with some customers wishing they could give a ‘0’. LOL.

            I have been a Leith Honda customer for 20 years… However, the customer service I have received in the service department has been very poor over the last year, and I am done.

            Sam T.
            I purchased a total of 9 new vehicles from Leith, last 4 were two Accords, 2016 Pilot and a 2017 Ridgeline, today I made a decision not to go to Leith Honda anymore. Took my Pilot for the 4th time for the same issue, xxxxx was my advisor again, most dishonest person…

            A total lemonade stand, I would never buy another used car, nothing but a car-lot full of used issues… Worst experience and most costly bad decision I’ve ever made in my life !!!

            Milan T.
            Terrible Service, BEWARE!!. Go to any Honda besides this one.

          • drowningpuppies says:

            WTF are you going on about, Rimjob?

            Pissant (aka Rimjob),

            More on Leith Honda in Raleigh, NC…

            Kris D.
            Very disappointed in this dealership. Would not buy a vehicle from here nor recommend. Sales reps are not knowledgeable. I placed an order for a vehicle, received trade in value for my vehicle (all in writing), when the vehicle I ordered arrived, I was told the numbers had changed and the trade in value went down $5,000…

            One of the sales reps has developed a reputation for mucking things up.

          • drowningpuppies says:

            So Rimjob is it your contention a failed car deal in Raleigh, NC somehow has some relevance to you and your fellow grifters at Galera Therapeutics buttfucking investors out of $50M?
            https://www.thepiratescove.us/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif
            Please explain.

      • Elwood P. Dowd says:

        Key,

        But no evidence other than your ‘feelings’?

        Anyway, Michael Anderson, the “cousin” of the juror, is a member of facebook group that supoorts Trump and described himself as a “shitposter” on facebook.

        Typed Anderson later: “Take it easy… I’m a professional shitposter”

        Judge Juan Merchan, from Colombia!, will have this investigated.

        Anyway, shitposters here type that the trial was fixed – judge, jury, prosecutors – the whole thing! Yet, no evidence.

        This is the pattern in the MAGA movement. Lies, propaganda, unsupported claims…

  5. Elwood P. Dowd says:

    I have underestimated how smart President Trump is. He acts like an ignorant dumbass – which is what he wants everyone to believe!!

    But days after a felony conviction he has a supporter post that they’ve been in contact with a juror!!! Voila!! Mistrial!!

    But now, that everyone knows about it, everybody will try it.
