Jury instructions concluded Wednesdsay morning and the jury was dismissed to start deliberations in the unprecedented case against former President Donald Trump — N.Y. v Trump.
This violates every principle of the Due Process Clause and criminal process known to man. (Or of the Privileges & Immunities Clause according to Justice Thomas's view.)
1) Merchan's approach violates fair notice. And it's not remotely fair notice to tell a criminal defendant… https://t.co/TmitvCcE4C

Judge Merchan just told the jury that they do not need unanimity to convict. 4 could agree on one crime, 4 on a different one, and the other 4 on another. He said he would treat 4-4-4 as a unanimous verdict.

This makes 3rd world countries look good.

Judge Juan Merchan's unconstitutional gag order violates President Trump's First Amendment rights and is clearly illegal.

🚨BREAKING: Trump addresses the media as the jury begins to deliberate in the New York "hush money" trial:

Jonathan Turley inside court: Judge delivers coup de grace instruction to jurors
Merchan just delivered the coup de grace instruction. He said that there is no need to agree on what occurred. They can disagree on what the crime was among the three choices. Thus, this means that they could split 4-4-4 and he will still treat them as unanimous…
So a dead misdemeanor for falsifying business records was zapped back into life by alleging that under NY election law 17-152 it was done to influence the election by the unlawful means of falsification of business records. It is so circular as to produce vertigo. So the jury finds some documents were falsified to use the unlawful means of falsifying other documents. That is only one of three possible crimes and the jury does not have to agree on which was the basis for their conviction.
The absence of a witness on media practices is becoming more and more significant. Such a witness could have discussed how stories are often killed or planted by campaigns in light of the press exception for common practices by the media. Instead, the prosecutor was allowed to state as a fact what the common practices of the media are in a campaign.
WATCH: @JDVance1 torches Judge Merchan and his very obvious financial interest in this case against Trump.
"It's unfortunately not illegal to be a biased judge, which is what Merchan has been. It is illegal to be a biased judge in the service of your family's financial… pic.twitter.com/bf9coV87Pg
