Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
