Jury HAS reached a verdict. 11 hours, 43 minutes.

Developing.

Analysis is saying the jury using the word “verdict” indicates this is not a hung jury.

Jury has asked for more time to fill out paperwork, which makes sense, 34 counts x 12 jurors, 408 line items?

Judge has now called for the jury.

Detail on each count here, 3 basic categories:

https://www.npr.org/2024/05/30/g-s1-1848/trump-hush-money-trial-34-counts

Trump was charged with falsifying business records in the first degree.

Invoices for legal services
Guilty on 11 of 11 charges

Checks paid for legal services
Guilty on 11 of 11 charges

Ledger entries for legal expenses
Guilty on 12 of 12 charges

No bail, sentencing on July 11th, 4 days before the Republican convention.

Defense has until 6/13 to file motions, prosecution has until 6/27 to respond.

Trump is responding predictably. Attacking the judge and the whole process.

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.

There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.

The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.

      No he hasn’t.

      He wasn’t even remanded to custody.

      He hasn’t been sentenced.

      If the sentences are punitive monetary fines, then his “consequences” are nothing more than he’s ever had to deal with. He’ll just keep doing what he’s always been doing and raid the Republican money chest to pay his expenses.

            Do you not recognize how eager we all are for that to be true? Please, show up in July and blow a raspberry at me because I was wrong to believe Trump will die of old age, having never seen the inside of a jail cell, living a 1% lifestyle. I would love nothing more.

    I’m currently watching the Trump presser the day after, and he’s straight up violating his gag order, spending awhile talking about Cohen, basically saying “I can’t talk about him, but his name rhymes with Mohen, they call him a fixer, and …” The whole thing is nuts but just thought that was a bit special.

      I think once the trial is completed, the gag order isn’t in play.

      The whole point of the gag order was to keep him from intimidating witnesses and jurors, well all that is done now.

      I’m sure the judge will take it into consideration for sentencing though!

        The trial isn’t over though; He still needs to be sentenced. He has been found guilty, yes. But the courts haven’t actually decided on an acceptable punishment. That’s what will happen on the 11th.

          Yep, and I’m sure blatantly violating the gag order (assuming it works like for a normal person) will lead to harsher sentencing. In that case, I hope he violates it further.

      Yep. But eh, he’s not a flight risk, and he’s not accused of a violent crime.

    I know a lot of us are cynical and don’t have high expectations for sentencing, but…

    Right now, Trump’s feeling pretty shitty. He has no idea how the sentencing will go. No guarantees he won’t be forced to suffer. This is consume him for weeks at the least.

    When he goes to sleep tonight, all he’ll be thinking about is ‘I could go to prison’.

      You see, I don’t think people like him ever feel shitty. He feels as a victim, a martyr of sorts, people like this can and will twist anything in their heads so that it proves their grandeur, their importance.

      This guy goes to sleep every night thinking how great he is, and how the world is just jealous and that’s why some stupid judge was out to get him.

      My dad is a pathological narcissist and behaves exactly like that.

    I would bet $1000 that nothing meaningful happens to that slick old bastard.

    There are two justice systems in this country, and Trump is in the one that’s so rich that he doesn’t face the same kind of meaningful consequences that we do.

      I wouldn’t take that bet but we have to acknowledge that this is progress. If you’d told me a year ago trump would be convicted on 34 felonies before June I’d have laughed at you.

      The arc of history is long but it does bend towards justice. We are witnessing that bend now after decades of frustration. Enjoy this win at least a little bit.

      It was very frustrating that just like what happened with “fake news” which was originally used to describe false news articles generated usually to help Trump, the same thing happened with the concept of a two-tier justice system. Originally describing how wealthy people like Trump don’t get the same justice that poor people do, now Republicans are trying to use it to describe Republicans getting charged for things Democrats wouldn’t be.
