Dr. Phil says Trump’s trial jury is worrying for prosecution and defense
TMZ.com
Donald Trump‘s hush money criminal case in New York could face an unfair playing field, according to the jury, but in terms of who benefits from it, it’s nonsense… so says Dr. Phil.
The TV personality spoke to “TMZ Live” on Friday about the 12 judges who will decide DT’s fate – the biographies of whom have been released … including their work backgrounds and their education. It turns out…this jury is full of a bunch of smart cookies.
There are two lawyers on the jury… and Phil says this is Trump and co. can either hurt or help, depending on how they feel politically. Listen… his analysis is quite precise.
Long story short… DP says the problem with having two legal minds on the jury is that the other normies might defer to them in the deliberations – thus the fact that they are ultimately the boss being able to be and give opinions is terribly dangerous in Phil’s mind.
On the other hand, Phil says that the fact that these two people know the law very well could actually help Trump in the long run… because they aren’t swayed by emotions or politics.
Of course, political beliefs and feelings toward Trump are the silent backdrop to all of this — and Phil says this could ultimately be the ultimate deciding factor in this case… regardless of what a juror does for a living, or how much they know about the law .
In other words… it’s hard to say how this thing might work when it’s all said and done.
Phil says he knows Trump’s team is hoping for a hung jury – but it will all depend on the evidence… and what these New Yorkers interpret when they look at the instructions at the end.
