One juror who heard evidence against former President Donald Trump for six weeks in a Manhattan courtroom is reported to be sympathetic to the president.
The jury will begin deliberating Wednesday on whether Trump committed a crime beyond a reasonable doubt by falsifying records to conceal a second crime. Many legal experts believe there is not enough evidence against him.
Among legal experts, Constitutional Law Scholar Jonathan Turley Expect the jury to either convict or reach a mistrial.

Potential jurors in the Trump case were asked 42 questions during jury selection that some have argued were biased toward the prosecution. Jurors also faced intense scrutiny from both prosecution and defense lawyers.
“We’ve had jurors in previous cases involving Trump associates who were found to have lied about their backgrounds,” Turley continued. “In both cases, the judge in DC refused to reconsider the verdicts, so this is a really important step in screening out these types of jurors.”
