After Judge Gives Trump Jury Weird Instructions – Legal Experts Quickly Rip It To Shreds

From the very start of the New York criminal trial against Trump, experts have been skeptical. The president judge, Juan Merchan, is open about his allegiance to the Democratic party. He donated to Biden’s campaign and his daughter works for people connected to Kamala Harris.

Yet he refused to recuse himself from this case, despite the massive conflict of interest. Quickly, he showed the country that this case was one-sided.

He required Trump to be in court every day, keeping him from the campaign trail. Judge Merchan rejected requests from the defense that would have helped their arguments. But what he said to the jury is being called the “coup de grace” in the left’s attempts at condemning Trump.

From Daily Wire:
Legal experts expressed outrage on Wednesday over the instructions Judge Juan Merchan gave to the jury as it began deliberations in former President Donald Trump’s hush money case.

Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy told Fox News that the instructions were not in “line with the United States Constitution” and had turned into a “make-it-up-as-you-go-along” situation…

“They can disagree on what the crime was among the three choices. Thus, this means that they could split 4-4-4 and he will still treat them as unanimous.”

The judge told the jury they don’t have to agree unanimously about what crime Trump actually committed. Unlike every other criminal trial in U.S. history, the judge appears to be telling the jurors they can disagree, and Trump will still be convicted.

Anyone without a liberal bias will be shocked by this move. Legal experts explained repeatedly how the prosecution failed to prove Trump broke the law. Their top witness, Michael Cohen, admitted to greater crimes than Trump. Yet the judge is poisoning the waters against Trump, so no matter what the jury says, he will be convicted.

A former federal prosecutor even said the judge is making up it as he goes along. What he is doing is “not in line with the Constitution” according to other experts. This appears to be a shocking violation of Trump’s rights. If it is allowed to stand, this could happen again for anyone else.

Should Trump get convicted, an appeal may work in his favor. Another judge will see how biased Merchan was and throw out the verdict immediately. This will only serve to underscore how Joe Biden and Democrats are exploiting our legal system to manipulate the 2024 Election.

Who is the threat to democracy again?

Key Takeaways:

  • Judge Merchan told jurors they do not have to agree, to convict Trump.
  • Legal experts blasted the judge’s “unconstitutional” directions.
  • Critics have long accused the judge of having a bias against Donald Trump.
