As the jury in the Manhattan trial of former President Donald Trump headed toward deliberation May 29, Judge Juan Merchan gave jurors their instructions.
Once the instructions filtered onto social media, however, they were distorted.
“Judge Merchan has instructed the jury they do not need to have a UNANIMOUS verdict in order to convict former President Donald J. Trump,” former Fox News writer and producer Kyle Becker wrote May 29 on X.
“This is insane,” the conservative End Wokeness X account posted a few minutes later to its 2.5 million followers. “New York Judge Merchan just told jurors that they DO NOT have to unanimously agree on what crime Trump is guilty of.”
