Do you think the verdict in the Manafort case will be a "mistrial"?

[kentuck]

I think it is very possible.

If a jury is called in front of a judge, in such a highly publicized case, and questioned individually about whether they had seen something or maybe overheard something that might affect their ability to make a fair judgement, it would be very difficult to find 12 sanitized jurors.

That may be what the Manafort defense team is hoping for? In a surprise move, they never offered a defense for Mr Manafort? He never offered to defend himself.

Unless there is a tainted juror, or else they have a secret agreement for a pardon, it would be hard to see how any jury could not find a guilty verdict?

1. to many charges in the indictment to not have several guilty verdicts....

I highly doubt a mistrial is possible.

2. No. There is overwhelming evidence. If there is a mistrial it will be in only a few counts

More likely jury can arrive at unanimous verdict on most counts.

No juror would withstand pressure of fellow jurors to hang on all counts. No one will go through that for Manafort.

They may love Trump but no one loves Manafort.

3. No. The evidence is far too strong

and there were counts in the indictment that were not even defended.

4. Quite possible.
