Looming over Trump’s conviction: Reversal by the ‘13th juror’

Looming over Trump’s conviction: Reversal by the ‘13th juror’

June 2, 2024, POLITICO

Arlo Devlin-Brown’s commentary was included in a POLITICO article examining the conviction of former President Donald Trump and what factors might be at play if he appeals the conviction.

Arlo provides his insight, telling POLITICO that “there is an appeal that could have legs. Unlike the trial that wrapped up with Thursday’s verdict, the appeal may focus on largely arcane legal issues — not the salacious evidence presented to the jury.” He adds that “the combination of the prosecution offering three different theories as to how the false records could have violated state election law, limited instruction on what some of those theories required, and the fact that jurors were not required to agree on which had been proven creates a real issue for the appeal.”
