#DougEvans made similar maneuvers during Pitchford’s trial, selecting a disproportionate number of #White #jurors compared with Black ones….By the time the judge had excused various potential jurors, the pool was composed of 36 White & 5 Black people.
Evans then used 7 peremptory challenges to strike 4 of the 5 #Black prospective jurors….He had marked up his juror list by placing a “W” next to the names of the White people & “B” next to the names of Black people, court records show.

The Broadview Six are protestors who were assaulted by ICE in Chicago, arrested and charged. It turns out that Federal Prosecutors contacted the Grand Jury members outside of the courtroom, so the judge threw out the case! The Sun-Times and WBEZ:
#CriminalSyndicate #CorruptDOJ #doj #corruption #JuryTampering“#ChicagoIL U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros may have had personal contact with grand jurors in the prosecution against the group of Operation Midway Blitz protesters known as the “Broadview Six,” a defense attorney told a judge today.
“U.S. District Judge April Perry summoned lawyers into her chambers to discuss the question out of earshot from the public, my colleague Jon Seidel reports for the Chicago Sun-Times. Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane MacArthur said it should be discussed privately because it involved grand jury proceedings.
“The case fell apart, days before trial, after Perry discovered improprieties during grand jury proceedings. The alleged misconduct came to light only after a lengthy push by defense attorneys to get Perry to review unredacted transcripts of what occurred.
“It included a prosecutor improperly putting her personal credibility on the line to support criminal charges, a prosecutor having substantive contact with grand jurors outside the grand jury room and a prosecutor excusing grand #jurors who disagreed with the case”. [Chicago Sun-Times]

Prosecutors w/Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg's office said limits on Trump's speech about trial witnesses were no longer needed. But they urged Justice Juan #Merchan to keep in place restrictions on his comments about #jurors, #CourtStaff & individual #prosecutors, citing risks to their #safety.

#Trump supporters try to #doxx #jurors and post violent threats after his #conviction. On social media and web forums, users called for #jurors, #judges and #prosecutors to be killed after the former #president was found guilty on 34 #felony counts. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-supporters-try-doxx-jurors-post-violent-threats-conviction-rcna154882

The #verdict must be unanimous on the primary crime falsification of business records.
Once #jurors inform the court they have reached a verdict, Justice Juan #Merchan will summon the parties to the courtroom to hear it read by the foreperson.
Merchan must still affirm the verdict & enter a final judgment.

#Jurors hear #Pecker recall that after he said he wasn’t going to go thru w/the agreement w/ #MichaelCohen, who was to pay him for the rights to #KarenMcDougal’s story using an LLC, Cohen told him: “The boss is going to be very angry at you.”
Court reporters read the 3rd portion of Pecker’s testimony. This part pertains to the Aug 2015 #TrumpTowerMeeting in which Pecker, Michael Cohen & #Trump entered a #conspiracy to suppress negative news about Trump during the #2016election. -
Next the court reporters read the second part of David #Pecker’s #testimony that the #jurors asked to hear, where he explains that he decided he did not want to be repaid for #KarenMcDougal’s story after purchasing it. The implication was that he was concerned about the #legal consequences of accepting a reimbursement - he testified that the concern was regarding FEC violations.

The phone call #jurors asked for from David Pecker’s testimony was call he testified he had w/ #Trump during an investor meeting, in June 2016, during which Trump acknowledged that he knew #KarenMcDougal.
Jurors may also be looking at the part of the #TrumpTowerMeeting when #Pecker testified that he decided to not collect reimbursement from Trump for his #HushMoney deal w/ McDougal. The wording from the jurors is slightly unclear.
