So have I, guilty on 1 or more counts, will be sentenced to serve multiple 4 year terms concurrently, then spend a decade challeging and appealing the ruling and the sentencing.
All it takes is a single juror to insist not guilty on all charges and trump walks.
Realistically the result was determined at jury selection, and we've just been waiting this whole time to hear the result.
A delay doesn't mean that's happening tho. With so many charges it could just be one person thinks 31/32 guilty and the other 11 32/32 guilty.
We just gotta wait.
But if a single trumpet made it in the jury, none of this mattered
Not quite... There were only 2 states that could convict without a unanimous jury and New York wasn't one of them.
What the judge said was that there are 3 different ways you can convict, but the jury doesn't have to be unanimous on any of the three.
So if 7 jurors decide option 1 makes him guilty, and 3 jurors like option 2 better, and 2 go for option 3, that's still a unanimous vote for guilty. They just disagree on how they got there.

That's not how this works...
If a single person insists not guilty on all counts, he walks on all counts.
