Topic: Alternate Jurors

On his "Dersh Cast," Alan Dershowitz speculated on a "cynical" scenario where Judge Merchan might replace a deadlocked juror with an alternate. Dershowitz suggests that if a single juror refuses to convict, the judge could claim they are "violating their oath" by not deliberating and substitute them to achieve a unanimous verdict. This theory underscores the perceived bias of the court against Donald Trump.
