Gregg Jarrett: “Unanimous jury decisions are a bedrock constitutional principle derived from the Sixth and Seventh Amendments. That requirement extends to all key issues, including every necessary element of an alleged crime and/or the establishment of secondary crimes. This is an indispensable feature of jury trials. It’s what defines our rule of law and makes America’s system of justice the envy of the world. But in the trial of Donald Trump, jurors can agree to disagree while still reaching the ultimate verdict in unanimity. Only in an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ case with a Mad Hatter judge could the cherished principles of fairness be turned upside down.”
