Anybody see that imbecilic lunatic Robert De Niro in front of the courthouse today? What's wrong with that guy, he's insane. If you really listen to what he's saying he's a nut job. Very entertaining though, I'm actually hoping Trump gets convicted because that will make him a martyr. And we know what happens to them. LOL

We sure do.

I, like you, am looking forward to his crucifixion.

How long before a verdict? Will they come back to the judge for clarification? If so, how many times. I believe the judge will send them back in if they can't reach a verdict before declaring an end. That might take a week.

My guess would be for a hung jury. Although Donny is clearly guilty as sin, I suspect there is at least one trumper in any jury, even in NYC.

Trumpie has to stay all day in the court room while the jury deliberates. At least that's probably punishment.

Oh rats, he can walk outside in the hallway.

He fell asleep during the judge’s instructions to the jury.

Juries LOVE that in a defendant. /s

To answer you questions: Jury deliberations take as long as they take. It could be a few hours, or it could be several days. It all up to the jury, and no person outisde the jury room gets a say in how long it takes. The jury cans end notes to the judge asking clarifications on laws, or to see evidence or to have testimony read back. How the judge responds is up to him, in consultation with the prosecution and the defense. IF the jury indicates they can't reach a unanimous verdict, the judge can give certain instructions to help them do so, but the final verdict or even a hung jury is really up to the jury.

Jurors take their jury oath very seriously, and are supposed to set those feelings aside. I speak from a small amount of experience as a juror once. We were a bunch of Joe Friday's-just the facts.
