#Mistrial declared in murder trial against former #GrandRapids, #Michigan #cop accused of killing Black motorist

The jury deliberated for more than 3 days in the case against #ChristopherSchurr, 34, & whether he was guilty of second-degree #murder or an alternate charge of voluntary manslaughter after he shot & killed #PatrickLyoya, 26, during a chase in April 2022. The two struggled over Schurr's Taser before the former officer shot Lyoya in the back of the head.

“The judge overseeing former President Trump’s hush money criminal case informed the parties Friday that a person on Facebook claimed to have advance knowledge of the verdict in the case.

Judge Juan Merchan wrote Trump’s attorneys and the Manhattan district attorney’s office that on May 29 – the day 12 New Yorkers began deliberating Trump’s case and a day before he was convicted – a Facebook user left the comment on the New York State Unified Court System’s page.

“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted,” the comment read, along with a celebrating emoji. “Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”

It’s unclear whether the user was being facetious or speaking truthfully about their relation to one of Trump’s jurors, but on their personal page, they describe themself as a “professional s— poster” – . “

Prediction:

In the next 6-12 hours, if the NY #Trump #jury deliberates that long, there will be a news report of a bribery attempt on one or more juors. The judge will go apeshit, declare a #mistrial. Trump can then put this #trial behind him as there’d likely be no way to retry the case with another jury before election day.

It will turn out “someone” merely left untraceable messages at one or more juror homes or by voicemail, and voila, goal achieved by the mere appearance of interference.
