So, do we have a mistrial in the works?
The plot thickens!
Turns out there was potentially some misconduct from one of the jurors.
Someone made a post on a Facebook that would imply a crime was committed by a juror.
BUT some are saying this was just a ‘troll’ posting it, and he just made it up.
OR are they saying that to cover up for the juror?
Where’s Columbo when you need him?
Well, would you like to see the Facebook post that could sink the entire case?
I thought you would.
Here it is:
I’m guessing the “MAGA crazies” is us.
We’re just so crazy to want a government and society to follow the Constitution.
Trump was to be sentenced on July 11, but a new twist emerged. A Facebook user, "Michael Anderson," claimed the day before that Trump would be convicted, citing his cousin on the jury. pic.twitter.com/UN1U3SAbAS

Gateway Pundit reports:
Last week, President Trump was convicted in the New York case brought by DA Alvin Bragg, who ran for the office under the promise of “get Trump.” The President was convicted on 34 felony counts of “falsifying business records” in regards to alleged repayments of what the prosecution claimed were “hush money” payments made by his then-attorney and now-convicted perjurer Michael Cohen.
The jury deliberated for a little over nine hours before deciding on a still-unknown predicate crime assumed to be federal campaign violations. Judge Merchan bizarrely gave instructions to the jurors that they could all agree that a crime was committed, beyond the falsifying charges, but didn’t necessarily have to agree unanimously on which crime was committed.
While that crime was never defined, it nonetheless gave Bragg the authority to bring the 34 misdemeanor counts as felonies, thus negating the statute of limitations. Elevating these misdemeanors to felonies is in contradiction to Bragg typically downgrading felonies to misdemeanors in over half of the felony cases his office has tried, according to The Daily Mail.

Judge Merchan issued a letter to all parties today.
Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention. In the comment, the user, “Michael Anderson,” states:
‘My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”
The comment, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine UCS notice, posted on May 29, 2024, rcgarding oral arguments in the Fourth Department of the Appellate Division unrelated to this proceeding. The posting, entitled “The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, will hear oral arguments this morning at 10,” and the comment are both viewable at https://www. facebook.com/NewYorkCourts/.
Uh oh! It looks like there was juror misconduct in the #TrumpTrial!
We knew these jurors would not be able to avoid telling their friends and relatives that were going to get Trump
It’s time for a mistrial “with prejudice” and no retrial!
But will Merchan do the right thing? pic.twitter.com/HyfnlUVFlZ

It’s too soon to know for sure.
It does seem likely to be a fake — but Merchan didn’t indicate one way or the other whether he considered it serious. May have been sharing out of an abundance of caution in case others saw the screenshot. https://t.co/3MDf274OdZ
