The jury is in a bind. The government’s case was pretty bad to begin with, and what they had was presented poorly. Since when it it illegal to pay off a “woman of ill repute”, not to mention that she was probably guilty of extortion and Trump was the victim. However the jury pool was engineered to guarantee to super-blue jury. Unless they convict they’ll go home friends and neighbors blaming them letting the “great Satan” (to borrow from a similarly fanatic culture) go free.
