As most of you know the jury is currently deliberating Trump’s fate after the corrupt judge spent the better part of an hour issuing jury instructions.

However there was one instruction that has outraged many on social media and beyond, and it was Merchan telling the jury they do not need unanimity to convict Trump:

Judge Merchan just told the jury that they do not need unanimity to convict. 4 could agree on one crime, 4 on a different one, and the other 4 on another. He said he would treat 4-4-4 as a unanimous verdict.

It’s like Merchan is going out of his way to ensure that Trump convicted, but I don’t know how this is legal. Unanimity has always been needed in the past to convict someone, and when at least one person doesn’t agree the jury is considered ‘hung’.

Here’s some of the responses from X:

Merchan is talking about the crime that Trump allegedly tried to cover up in ledger entries, not on the ledger entries themselves. He’s allowing the prosecution to (illegitimately) offer multiple options, none of which they proved and one outside their jurisdiction. https://t.co/UGLnnqazRr

That’s not even legal in Zimbabwe.

This is entirely illegal. How is this allowed to continue?

So you only need 4 out of the 12 New York City residents…

This makes 3rd world countries look good.

They are literally making shit up as they go along to put the Republican nominee for president in jail. https://t.co/6z2TLHT6zj

This is the equivalent of giving the jury a mad lib book, letting them write whatever zany nouns they can think of for the crime, and then convicting Trump as long as they all agree that Orange Man Bad. https://t.co/XVUAvUcZsF
