"SNIP............

A new CBS News poll finds 56% say Donald Trump is definitely or probably guilty of a crime in his recent trial, in which he has been charged with falsifying business records to hide a “hush money” payment and influence the 2016 election.

The public is more split on what they think the jury will decide, with about half expecting jurors to find Trump guilty and half saying the opposite.

1. That seems like a consistent number

that I've seen in other polls.

2. He will not be found innocent.

There is in my opinion just a slim chance of a hung jury.

The schedule the judge created for the summation and the time for the jury to decide should help.

3. The ones who are saying that Motherfucker won't be found guilty are playing against their biases

The trial is in New York City.

As Winston said in John Wick 3.....

4. I predict a guilty verdict

But then the judge will be too afraid to give more than an extremely light sentence. A couple months of probation to make sure it's done well before the election.

8. This seems a likely scenario.

5. K&R

6. I haven't followed the trial blow by blow

But if I were betting on the outcome then I’d say the verdict is Not Guilty. Cohen has all sorts of flaws as the key witness for the defense. Not Guilty would be worse than charging him in the first place. He’ll spend the next five months until Election Day crowing about how he was charged in a sham trial and exonerated by a jury. Even a hung jury will lead to the same claims by Trump.

7. Guilty on all counts.

Lock him up.

9. 'Most think he is guilty, ' while SOME of us

KNOW he's guilty... Of a helluva LOT.

Whether or not he'll ever serve time for any of it remains to be seen.

10. I'm worried that right now magats could be tracking down the jurors and threatening them.

And they have plenty of time to do it.

11. Should be higher imo

[Turbineguy]

12. That includes trump.
