True. But there are various charges and jurors tend to compromise.

Maybe not.

And if convicted, the actions of Maxine Waters, the jurors not being sequestered over the weekend, etc may make a very strong case for a retrial.

the startrib posted a story, the jury, who are they? with brief descriptions of the jurors... certainly doesn't seem like a right wing bunch. Seems to me like mostly mild lefties and a few right down the middle.

I'm hopeful: https://www.startribune.com/who-are-the-...600037651/

Can't be retried. The defense could try that stuff on appeal following a conviction tho I doubt any of that would fly.

Maxine Waters matters nothing to the average Minnesotan.
