    I wonder if others on the jury helped them see the light. Or maybe the nodding and smiling was sarcasm, or even intentionally trolling Trump. Fun to think about.

      The thing is, you can sometimes get through to these Trump supporters if you can deprogram them from their echo-chamber… That requires very long conversations, an expose of facts, dismantling of their fallacies, and keeping them away from right-wing propaganda and peer pressure for an extended period of time.

      … Which just so happens to be what jurors go through.

        That’s a nice wholesome take. Reminds me of this man:

      That’s exactly the kind of thing a New Yorker would do. “Oh, yeah, sure, I’m on your side, buddy, we got so much in common.”

        I seem to recall seeing an infographic (uncertain of its provenance) indicating that one juror listed the NY Post as a frequent news source. That guy’s presence on the jury certainly had me concerned.

          The infographic I saw said one juror got their news from only Truth Social and Twitter.

          I live in New York. I saw the Post’s headline yesterday. “Injustice!”

      There was one juror who got their news from Truth Social and Twitter so I am guessing they were not trolling.

        I would tell you I got my news from God if it meant I could put a nail in Trump’s coffin ;)

      One of the jurors followed Trump on truth social, it was maybe him?

    I’m not even slightly surprised that Trump doesn’t know how jury trials work.

    I was very surprised by this part of the article:

    Trump made careful effort not to mention or criticize the jury in a press conference on Friday morning.

    If he believed that he filled a 20,000 capacity venue with 100,000 people, hell believe that he has at least 1 fanatic in the jury.
