You only need ONE JUROR to dissent to get a HUNG JURY.
I already told you that the Foreman (i.e., the 1st juror who is seated) was a U.K. ‘Daily Mail’ read (just like I). The Daily Mail is conservative and VERY PRO-Trump.
Now we have the complete list (or table) thanks to “The New York Times“.
Cracked me up when I saw it in the U.K. ‘Daily Mail’ last night. They reported it with a straight face. Did not gloat or draw attention to it.
‘dailymail.com‘ IS the U.K. Daily Mail. That ‘.com’ resolves into the ‘co.uk‘ address. Check it out.
This is CRAZY. What were the chances? [And IF you were wondering (& I did have to look it up). In New York, the FIRST juror seated is AUTOMATICALLY the ‘foreman’. That is it. That is how this guy became the foreman. No other factors. Just the first seated as a juror.]
Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with this blog must know that I am an AVID U.K. Daily Mail reader. I read it, ONLINE, at least 8 times a day — first thing in the morning & last thing at night. I started reading the Daily Mail, in print, in the 1970s — when I started working, as a 20-year old. I didn’t have time to read one of the UK’s posh, pakka papers. So, I settled on the Daily Mail. It did a decent enough job covering cricket scores — which was very important.
Yes, I know all the issues with the Daily Mail. The typos are infuriating. But, by and large it doesn’t get too much totally wrong when it comes to the NEWS. It is ALWAYS WAY, WAY ahead of the U.S. media. That is a huge bonus. Yes, it is a tad right wing! SMILE. But, I can live with that.
An American man who gets his news from the U.K. Daily Mail will be RIGHT WING. More than likely a Trump fan. So, we will get a HUNG JURY. So, Trump will not get charged in THIS trial. They will, if they wish, have to have another trial — AFTER he is President. {Good luck with that.}
