Update (1345ET): Legal minds are beside themselves at how the judge in the Trump ‘hush money’ case has instructed jurors to rule – first in what constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley called “the coup de grace instruction,” Judge Juan Merchan said that there is no need to agree on what occurred – and can disagree on what the crime was among the charges.

“Merchan just delivered the coup de grace instruction,” Turley wrote on X. “He said that there is no need to agree on what occurred. 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…”
Translation: The conviction and sentencing are pre-planned and were determined before the case even begun.pic.twitter.com/BWHO9eBQzD

“This is absolute insanity,” posted Missouri Attorney General Andrew Baily, in response to another Turley observation – namely that the jury will not be given copies of their instructions, but can ask for them to be read again.
This is insanity.
I’ve tried many jury trials in my day. You give jurors paper instructions every time.
How are 12 jurors supposed to remember the elements necessary for each of the 34 felony counts?
This is an illicit, witch-hunt prosecution. https://t.co/KwoxH655xY
