2/ Via Inner City Press:
in #TrumpTrial, Justice Merchan just said that the jury has sent a note: they have reached a verdict, need 30 minutes to fill out.
3/ McBrien:
Before leaving the bench, Justice Merchan says to the gallery, "Let there be no outbursts or exclamations of any kind."
He says he'll be back in a few minutes and steps away.
The atmosphere in press overflow is ELECTRIC.
4/ Press:
[Trump has his armed cross in front of himself, Todd Blanche whispering in his right ear - notable, eyes closed]
5/ Weissmann:
I am awaiting Donald Trump saying he just needs someone to find him one vote (this time, on the jury).
6/ McB:
"Keep the outbursts to a minimum, and stay in your seats afterwards until you're given further instructions," a court officer tells us.
It is tense.
Trump, amazingly, has closed his eyes.
erica orden:
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg just entered the courtroom.
8/ Ben Feuerherd
Merchan: "Are we ready to bring out the jury?
Steinglass: "Yes, judge."

Martha-Ann Alito has lowered her βStop the Stealβ flag to half-mast in anticipation of a Trump guilty verdict.
10/ Klasfeld:
Jury enters. Little to no eye contact with defendant Trump.
That's guilty. Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty,
guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty,
guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty,
guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty!
Hey, any prison sentences will be concurrent, so who's counting. But yeah, I noticed too late. If I fix it now about 80 people will get an annoying edit notification.
Defendants have a first amendment right to badmouth the judge. An excessive sentence is one of the few likely successful grounds for winning an appeal. The way he ran this trial, Merchan demonstrated that being from Colombia is not a fatal flaw in a judge. And I would have said that regardless of the outcome.
I may steal "that felonious guy".
GUILTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
