evidence: For criminal trials in New York State, the jury must unanimously agree on the verdict. This means that one lone juror can serve as a holdout, forcing what is called a hung jury. If 11 of Trump’s jurors agree on a conviction and 1 disagrees, for example, the presiding judge, Juan Merchan, would likely suggest that they continue to deliberate and try to come to a decision. If the jurors still can’t reach a consensus, Merchan would need to eventually call a mistrial, which is when a trial is terminated before a verdict is handed down. Importantly, a mistrial is not the same as an acquittal of the charges, so a hung jury is not necessarily a win for the former president. It would be up to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to decide whether to retry the case. [...] If the jurors unanimously decide that the prosecution has not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt, they can acquit Trump of all charges. In that case, the former president could not be retried for those offenses, as that would violate the Fifth Amendment’s Double Jeopardy Clause prohibiting someone from being prosecuted twice for the same crime.
