Wil have to watch their backs for the rest of their lives. The MAGA crowd (ok, maybe a few dozen people) will look for ways to punish them for doing their civic duty.

could not shake the thought that maybe one MAGAt filtered into the jury by lying during jury selection, and would simply aqcuit no matter the evidence.

Glad my fears were not realized.

I've suggested that TFG will likely get some form of house arrest.

The one thing that should land his fat ass in Riker's is going after this jury in any way.

I am filled with gratitude and awe for their civic service to society.

Finally, TSF is held accountable. For those saying yesterday was not a day to celebrate, but a solemn day for our country, I say screw that noise. This conviction was long overdue as are all the other court cases he’s successfully delayed. Yea, the schadenfreude feels good.

By all accounts, Judge Merchan was fair and even handed and possessed the prefect judicial temperament for this case. For the judge, jury, and the prosecutorial team, I am grateful they successfully landed this plane.
