Corrupt Judge Says Jury Can Convict Trump Without Agreeing on Crime.
Closing arguments in former President Donald Trump‘s Manhattan “hush money” trial begin today, and the judge gave the jury the green light to convict him without agreeing on the underlying ‘predicate’ crime he committed.
First, into the legal weeds: Trump’s being charged for labeling “hush money” payments to adult actress Stormy Daniels as “legal fees.” That alone is just a misdemeanor crime, and the statute of limitations has already expired.
Cue the corrupt judge: Judge Juan Merchan sided with the prosecution and ruled that the jury does not need to agree on the alleged felony in order to find Trump guilty.
