Trump Demands Reversal of Felony Conviction, Mistrial at Dream City Church Rally

Jun 7, 2024, 10:16 PM

Former President Donald Trump, in his first post-trial rally at Dream City Church in Phoenix, demanded that appeals courts reverse his felony conviction. Trump was recently convicted of 34 felonies, including falsifying business records and interfering in an election. During the rally, he criticized the judge and the courts, calling the trial 'rigged.' Meanwhile, allegations of juror misconduct have emerged, with reports suggesting that a juror may have had a predetermined guilty verdict and that a Facebook comment claimed to have advance knowledge of the jury’s decision. These developments have led to calls for a mistrial, with Judge Juan Merchan notifying lawyers about the potential misconduct.
