JUST IN: The jury has reached a verdict in Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial in New York. The verdict will be read in court shortly. The 12-person jury has been considering whether Trump is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, which are all connected to the alleged cover up of hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The jury must be unanimous in its decision. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges in the case and denies the affair with Daniels.

Calling it now, mistrial.

EDIT: I was wrong. Guilty on all counts, FUCK YES
- There's no way the judge let's them say hung jury with 1 day of deliberation.
  
  I was wrong, and happy to be so.
- Missed the call
  
  Sometimes it’s good to be wrong
I'm not surprised, but I'm relieved to hear he's guilty.

Two impeachments and a jury conviction. Quite a "witch hunt"!
Unironically for once
You linked to a the front page, not an article. Down voted.
- Fixed.
Mr. Stable Genius publicly called the judge corrupt after he indicated he doesn't want him sentenced to any jail time. Hopefully his genius sways him a little.
- Isn't this judge Juan Merchan? If he identifies differently, my apologies, but I feel like the MAGAs would have mentioned that in their frothing rage.
  
  Oops! Yes, "he". My bad. I'll fix it.
Mods are devastated
