Some of us speculated that the defense may have overplayed their hand in pursuing the nullification strategy by insulting the jury. The first interview with a juror on Fox would seem to support that view...
...The juror noted that defense claims did not wash out like suggesting that he was at a 7-11 to buy coffee or a donut rather than drugs when his book identified the 7-11 as his favorite spot to buy drugs...
...As with other defense claims, that claim imploded in open court shortly after it was raised. That is when empathy can become insult for a jury.

We are now 15 minutes away from the release of new opinions by the Supreme Court. (Friday has also been added for the release of new opinions). There are two abortion cases on the mifepristone pill access and emergency room care. There is a major gun case in Rahimi on the scope of 2A protections as well as bump stock ban case. There are cases on the Trump immunity challenge as well as a case on the validity of obstruction charges linked to the J6 riots. So buckle up...
...Five minute warning...
...There are reportedly two boxes, which is a rough guage on the number of opinions...

The Hunter Biden verdict is in. This is ordinarily a bad sign for a defendant since one would have expected at least a hung jury on this evidence. That would have produced an Allen charge where the court would send them back for additional deliberations...
...Of course, this is a Biden being tried in Wilmington so predictions are a bit more difficult with a clear nullification strategy...
...Guilty on all counts...

Wow. The judge was mistaken. The jury has a verdict. They are not asking to leave early. They have a final decision.
...It is hard to see this as positive for Trump. If there were a hung jury, it was expected to be a minority of hold outs. We will have to wait to see. However, those who bet on Thursday appear prophetic. The judge seemed surprised and was waiting to dismiss them for the day.
...t just seems far too early for an acquittal so the bets are on conviction. The jury clearly has moved beyond whatever impasse existed before sending out its two notes. However, we will all soon know...

Judge Merchan is saying that the jury will be excused at 4:30.
...no verdict today.
...It is important not to overplay the fact that the jury is electing not to stay until 6. The judge had left it up to them. If they wanted to go longer, it would not bode well for Trump. It clearly shows that they are not in striking distance of a verdict, though that can mean many things including a reflection of the large number of counts.

In a major victory for free speech, the Supreme Court ruled today 9-0 against New York's Department of Financial Services in National Rifle Association of America v. Vullo. I previously wrote about the case... jonathanturley.org/2024/01/04/gun…
...Once again, the ruling shatters the narrative from the left that this is a dysfunctionally divided court. The court continues to rule unanimously or nearly unanimously in most cases, including important cases like Vullo...
...This case highlights the shameful use of government offices for political purposes by New York officials. In this case, the state agency used its powers to pressure banks and companies to disassociate with the NRA. What is chilling is the support of so many in New York...

Judge Merchan has erred on the side of inclusion. There was a subsequent request to add more and he approved it. There is another note from the jury.
...The jury is asking for instructions on count one and how to deal with evidence and the inference to be drawn from evidence. He will read pages 7-35.
...The inference instructions are interesting. It is not the corroboration or perjury material that would have presumably focused on Cohen. However, the inference sections would go to how much that can read into the implications of testimony. Much of Cohen's testimony did not concretely establish knowledge or intent by Trump but the prosecutors insisted that they could infer from that evidence...
