Dershowitz Speculates Merchan Is Prepared To Swap ‘One Juror’ Who ‘Won’t Give In’

Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Wednesday that it is possible New York Judge Juan Merchan is not dismissing alternate jurors in order to deal with a holdout that will not convict former President Donald Trump.
Merchan issued instructions to the jury of seven men and five women Wednesday, pointing them to some of the key evidence in the case prior to the panel beginning its deliberations. Dershowitz admitted he was speculating during Wednesday’s episode of “The Dershow” about Merchan’s reason for keeping the alternates available, but said he had seen a judge in an unrelated case make a similar move.

“I’m not saying that that’s going to happen, I’m not saying that’s even in the judge’s mind, but knowing this judge and seeing him in action, particularly having seen him in action on the day I was in the court when they cleared everybody but I was allowed to stay, why, I still don’t know, and I saw the real Judge Merchan,” Dershowitz said. “Um, that’s not beyond the realm of possibility, so anything’s possible. This judge wants Donald Trump convicted.”

Is that even legal?

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
This frick Merchan has done everything he can to stack the deck so far, and he’s been blatant about it.

I can't imagine the blowback if he did that.
Maybe this is what they want. Protests in the streets...

With this judge, has that made a difference so far?

When people ask for an example of MAGA grifting, I think this will become the example

Presumably the judge would claim some reason other than wrong-think and most of the lapdog media would play along.

They'd never admit that's what they are doing they'd make up some excuse and the media would cover for him

You make no sense. You should shut up sometimes

You think you're so smart, but you've been wrong plenty.

My post makes perfect sense.
Dersh's bread is buttered with MAGA support these days.
He'll say any stupid or insane thing the echo chamber wants to hear, whether he believes it (or it being rational/realistic) or not.
This is particularly shameful stuff. He shed honor/respect to get paid, which is why it's a grift.

Sure, nobody can predict the future perfectly.
I've never stated something as dumb as the MAGA fear porn in OP, though, which is sad, considering who Dersh used to be.

Well alternate jurors usually aren’t dismissed just yet. But this would cause a shite storm of epic proportions.

There won't be, because people who protest for Trump get imprisoned

In 54 years I've met a lot of really smart people. Not one of them ever needed to tell me how smart they were.
