In Manhattan, about 9 in 10 people are Democrats, and most of the other 10% would never admit they're not, at least around their peers.
You mean that out of 12 jurors -- with two attorneys among them -- there wasn't one who could see through the scam? And perhaps there were one or two potential holdouts (in support of the law and lack of viable evidence) but they would likely fold under pressure and agree to the unanimous verdict.
There are so many improper aspects of the sham proceedings that the convictions will be overturned on appeal, but the way the appeals system normally operates, it may be 2026 before the verdict is nullified.
It isn't normal, but in a situation like this, the Supreme Court should receive (and agree to accept) an appeal case on an emergency basis.
