AG James case is a civil case. As far as I know Trump has never sat in front of a jury and testified. If this civil case goes to trial Trump and his boneheaded children may have to testify. I don't see Trump doing that. Trump and at least one of his sons took the 5th hundreds times in this case. That can be used against them in a civil trial.
Prosecutors in the past have settled with Trump. I am wondering, will AG James be the first to refuse any plea by Trump. I am getting the feeling she wants blood. She wants this to go to trial, where she will win, and possibly set the stage for future criminal prosecutions.
Just my opinion.

That means that having a Trumper on the panel won't keep him from losing.

I was looking this stuff up and see that one of the six jurors in a NY Civil Suit can disagree.
In Virginia my experience was that a unanimous verdict was required.

A lot of us had high hopes that he would be found guilty and die in prison.
Remember, his wife's family filed a civil suit after his "Not guilty?"
