Juror misconduct revealed to Judge Merchan in Trump Trial

NY v. Trump: Judge reveals Facebook post implying juror discussed guilty verdict with family ahead of time

Judge Juan Merchan notified attorneys Friday that a comment was left on the court’s Facebook page stating Trump “is getting convicted” on a post made the day before the jury announced its verdict.

Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the case brought by Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg on May 30. A commenter claimed to know he was getting convicted in a comment on a May 29 post about a “routine UCS notice,” according to the judge’s letter.

“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted,” the commenter said, adding a celebration emoji. “Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!! <3”

Defense attorney and legal analyst Philip Holloway told the Daily Caller News Foundation the comment could be “potentially very significant.” He noted the judge would have to send the notification based on the fact that the individual claims to have spoken to a juror, even if the poster’s identity has not yet been confirmed.

IF the FB post actually was from a juror's relative/friend, it would be grounds for Judge Merchan to declare a mistrial. The supposed post not only reveals a prejudiced juror, but that there was a cabal involving multiple (or all) jurors. Merchan is so deep into Orange Man Bad hatred that I would at least be moderately shocked if he did. If it is real and he doesn't then even a NY appeals court might be sufficiently ethical to declare it a mistrial.

Yeah, it was a late Friday news dump so I was dubious as well.

The letter from the corrupt judge was authenticated by multiple sources (MSM & conservative), so I'm suspecting it is legit but perhaps meaningless.
