^ well, looks like this turned out to not be the mic drop moment all the right-wing pundits like hannity - who parroted this without bothering to find out if it was, you know, true - were hoping for.
Judge in Trump’s hush money trial flags Facebook post that claimed insight into jury deliberations
"Initial efforts to locate the poster indicated that the message may have come from an internet troll.
Justice Juan Merchan informed prosecutors and Donald Trump’s attorneys on Friday about a newly discovered post on the New York court system’s Facebook page from a user who claimed to be the cousin of a juror.
“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted,” the user wrote in a week-old comment, according to the judge. “Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”
Merchan, who presided over Trump’s recently concluded hush money trial, did not indicate whether the post — which is no longer visible on Facebook — appeared legitimate or may have been the result of a prank. Media efforts to locate the poster indicated that the post likely came from an account associated with someone who appears to be a regular troll of the New York court system’s social media pages." (my emphasis)
trolled indeed.

What a surprise, nobody could have guessed. I'm absolutely shocked that someone would lie on the internet

Well it got adjourned, so it sure looks like he's about to no longer be a "convicted felon"

"A "conviction" legally refers to a finding of guilt by a court, which is only considered complete once a sentence is imposed, meaning a conviction is not considered "real" without sentencing being finalized"
