Before you waste your money remember this is the only trial in history of US that the jury instructions were. “”It doesn’t have to be unanimous, no matter what the constitution says”
WRONG. Read the statute. Here's the basics of it
Merchan instructed the jurors Wednesday that they "must conclude unanimously that a defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means," adding that they "need not be unanimous as to what those unlawful means were."
That means that jurors have to agree unanimously that Trump committed a crime by engaging in a criminal conspiracy to falsify records with the intent to commit one or more other crimes to convict him. But jurors can choose from three options about what those other crimes were: violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act, falsification of other business records or violation of tax laws. Those "unlawful means" aren't charges themselves, and they wouldn't result in separate convictions, so jurors don't have to unanimously agree on them.
The jury instruction was complex and nuanced, and some right-wing accounts ran with false reports.
