I think there's practically no chance of conviction, whatever the evidence. How do you avoid 1 or more jurors who would acquit no matter what? There aren't enough peremptory challenges.
Would Donald Trump Ever Be Convicted By a Jury in America?

It's why this thing has to be made public and televised. People need to be able to form their own opinions as to the validity of the case.
It's almost a given at least one MAGA will find their way on any jury....
Can I interest you in a bridge?
I used to think that. But he only needs 1 of 9; justice needs 9 of 9.
The Trump Org is Donald Trump and his family. What you are suggesting would happen with Trump would have also happened here IMO.
No it isn't. The Trump Org was found guilty. If Trump was the Trump Org, he'd be guilty. Donald Trump was not charged in that case, therefore, he isn't the Trump Org.
MAGAts are only 30% of the population and attorneys can reject potential jurors.Can I interest you in a bridge?

They'll find enough patriots. REAL patriots.
Also at least 12 of the 16 Grand Jurists already voted to indict him, so to say that there's no chance of a guilty verdict is wrong. It's also wrong to say that there isn't a chance that a Trumper could save his ass.
Jury nullification is rare. There are people who lean one way or the other, but few who would ignore the evidence entirely no matter what it was.
The jury pool questionaire is going to be the mother of all a questionaires. Both sides will have a teams of jury experts and private investigators. Each prospective juror called for voir dire will have undergone a background check which rivals the FBI background investigation which justices and high level appointees undergo .,... followed then by thorough questioning by the attorneys and the Court.
There is no full proof process to uncover and eliminate prejudices & biases but the process for this case will get as close as humanly possible.

At some point you run out of challenges.
The defense will be trying to sniff out Trmp-hating liberals, too. But the defense can make 8 mistakes. You can't make even 1 mistake.
If there is a chance Manhattan is the place for it to happen. No presidential Republican has gotten over 15% of the vote in that district since Lincoln.
I'm actually counting on Turd dying before it gets to court.
Fingers crossed.
You never run out of challenges for cause. The presiding judge will play an important role in the process.
Yes. It depends on the case, charges, and obviously what evidence there is. Also depends on where the trial is held and the makeup of the jury.
Let's also not forget the number of people who have an irrational hatred of Trump.
Bottom line: as prosecutors, you do your best. You get the best group and run through the trial, let the chips fall where they may.

Just like Hunter Biden’s crack problem, or throwing a gun in a dumpster next to a school, or taking money from China or Ukraine? I’m all for prosecuting illegal activities.
I won’t rule out the possibility of a plea deal either. Especially with 3 other investigations looming that also seem realistic to think he could be indicted on at least one of them, if trump can make a plea and avoid jail time he might jump at it.
He doesn’t exactly have crack defense lawyers rushing to his defense team so idk if he can afford to split his attention.

Bragg has a chance for a conviction as long as there are no House GOP members on the jury.
If the evidence is overwhelming, the State can ask for a Directed Verdict before it is submitted to the jury. Extremely rare and unlikely
I just hope Trump testifies, because he can't control himself
The subsequent perjury trial would be the sequel 😀
Yes he could be convicted.. I'm curious though about the holdup on the Georgia case? If this turns out to be coordinated between these prosecutors on timing if indictments that is not ok. Pursue your case and prosecute it.
This nyc case by the way reeks of political bullshit and Trump likely walks. I think this prosecutor is an idiot and hasn't considered what happens when Trump walks out of court vindicated with a not guilty verdict. Or a mistrial.

The math is different for the flaming libs. It would only take 1 MAGAT
I’ll laugh my ass off if he testifies. He is so dumb and an arrogant a$$ that he can’t help himself to the point he will probably piss off the jury and they will vote him guilty, just because. I know I would. And I’m a conservative that thought he’d be good for the country as a non political president but his bed side manner makes me want to see him go down in flames due to own ignorance. GD he is dumb and can’t keep his mouth shut.
