It turns out the case by Robert Mueller's team against felonious Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was a slam- dunk,
except for one contrarian (a red hatter perhaps?):
Paula Duncan, a juror on the Manafort trial, joined Fox News to talk about her experience serving on the jury. Duncan is a fervent Trump supporter, but she appears to have been able to separate herself from her politics in order to do her civic duty on the jury.
“It was one person who kept the verdict from being guilty on all 18 counts,” Duncan told Fox News. Apparently the evidence was overwhelming enough on the other 8 counts, but there was doubt on for another juror on the other 10. To be perfectly clear: Duncan was NOT the holdout.
That should send a chill up the spines of Manafort's defense team as they head into trial #2 next month, where the evidence is far greater (and perhaps the judge will keep his Republican finger off the scales).
