Don't know about others, but I am all over the place and it changes day to day.
Right now, I am leaning toward preparing myself for no conviction, with my best bet landing on a mistrial because of being unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
I did just read one pundit believes the jury pool comes from a heavily leaning Democratic affiliation (one person suggested it was at a 85-15 percent ratio).
But at the end of the day, my belief in a mistrial is that I imagine it must be quite hard for a regular day-to-day American being forced to decide if he or she may be sending a US President to prison. Whether we like a person like Trump or not, or even no matter how guilty he may be, asking an American to do that is a heady decision and I can't imagine the pressure in that jury deliberation room.
Frankly, I will be surprised if Trump is convicted (though I believe he certainly deserves to be found guilty). One reason for this belief is that there seems to be some sort of sick joke that is pulled on Americans when it comes to dealing with truly harmful things in the most easiest of ways. It's like this country has a need to drag out painful and damaging things for bizarre reasons and deal with them in the most ineffective way possible. It's almost like fate.
So, in other words, we can't depend on a simple criminal trial conviction to end this nightmare because in America, we just love to keep the misery going.
