Episode notes
INSIGHT

Jury's Fast and Unanimous Verdict

  • The jury's quick conviction was due to the counts being closely related and focused on evidence of intent to cover up a crime.
  • They unanimously found guilt on all counts rather than partially, speeding up deliberations.
INSIGHT

Critique and Conviction Are Not Opposites

  • Criticism of a case's structure doesn't mean disbelief in its outcome.
  • Ellie Honig always thought conviction was the most likely outcome despite raising case concerns.
ADVICE

Anticipate Wide-Ranging Appeal Attempts

  • Expect a broad, scattershot appeal by Trump's defense aiming to find any reversible error.
  • Appellate challenges might arise but likely won't overturn the conviction.
