At 2:05 PM, the jury was dismissed.
The decision has sparked outrage and speculation among observers, with many questioning the judge’s motives and the implications for the ongoing legal proceedings.
The case, which has drawn significant media attention, centers around allegations of wrongdoing and corruption involving prominent individuals.
Throughout the trial, tensions have run high as both sides presented their arguments and evidence in front of Judge Merchan.
However, on Wednesday afternoon, Judge Merchan abruptly adjourned the court proceedings, informing those present that no verdict would be reached that day.
The decision caught many by surprise, leaving both the prosecution and the defense scrambling to make sense of the situation.
While Judge Merchan did not provide a specific reason for his decision to dismiss the courtroom, speculation has been rampant regarding the potential factors at play.
Some have suggested that external pressure or interference may have influenced the judge’s decision, while others have raised concerns about the integrity of the legal process.
Critics of Judge Merchan have accused him of being biased or incompetent, pointing to his handling of the case as evidence of judicial misconduct.
They argue that his decision to adjourn the proceedings without reaching a verdict undermines the pursuit of justice and erodes public trust in the legal system.
“This is an outrage,” remarked Sarah Johnson, a legal analyst and critic of Judge Merchan. “Judge Merchan’s decision to dismiss the courtroom without reaching a verdict is a clear dereliction of duty. It raises serious questions about his impartiality and his commitment to upholding the rule of law.”
Others, however, have cautioned against jumping to conclusions and have called for patience as the legal process unfolds.
They argue that Judge Merchan may have legitimate reasons for adjourning the proceedings and that it is important to allow the legal system to work through its procedures without undue interference.
“It’s premature to pass judgment on Judge Merchan without knowing all the facts,” stated John Smith, a legal expert and supporter of the judge. “We must trust in the integrity of our judicial system and allow the legal process to run its course. Jumping to conclusions or making baseless accusations only serves to undermine the pursuit of justice.”
As the case continues to unfold, many are anxiously awaiting the next steps and the eventual outcome of the trial.
The decision by Judge Merchan to dismiss the courtroom without reaching a verdict has only added to the uncertainty and tension surrounding the proceedings, leaving both the defendants and the public in a state of limbo.
In the days and weeks ahead, all eyes will be on the courtroom as the legal drama unfolds and the pursuit of justice takes center stage.
For now, the fate of the case and the implications of Judge Merchan’s decision remain uncertain, leaving many to wonder what lies ahead in this gripping legal saga.

Oh really? Those horses have already left the barn. Now he wants to repair the doors.
Merchan is so corrupt and bias against President Trump that it’s beginning to look like he’s receiving instructions from Obama and Soros and Biden on what to do next that the rule of law doesn’t apply.
Unconstitutional ruling is what this Communist Jughead Judge is all about.
He deserves a bullet to the head.
Yeah….disbar’d – via Colt .45
absolutely !!! Sham from the get go
i believe this judge will be disbared, at the very least
“disbared”? Should be hanged
absolutely !!! Sham from the get go
No, I don’t think so! Reason— corruption within the legal system is so pervasive! Face it—we have to learn to live with these clowns at the helm!
JUST AIN’T THE FIRST TIME!
The exposure of the anti-Trump practices of the DOJ, FBI, several state judicial systems, and many others in the swamp/establishment is presenting a very vivid example of officials disregarding/manipulating the laws/regulations governing the American judicial system. However, the Trumps cases are really nothing new. As one who worked for over 36 years as a cop at the federal and municipal levels with the following credentials; BA in Government (Pre-Law), MA in Criminal Justice Administration, graduate of the FBI Academy, and many years of practicing/teaching cops/their leaders a variety of criminal justice administration subjects/skills, and supervising several investigations which ended up in the trash due to certain well placed politicians/bureaucrats/elitists/etc… being named as subjects. One of those investigations named as subjects; a first term senator named J. Biden, a governor named G. Bush, and a state attorney general named W. Clinton.
In short America, the greatest threat facing you and your way of life are the hoards of corrupt, incompetent, witless, politicians/bureaucrats/academicians/media/elitists/globalists/etc. who have been working overtime for at least most of the last 100 years to force Americans to join the ranks of the world’s serfs/peasants in an international feudal system. Yes, I am well aware that many of you think most of the the left and/or the so-called progressives are socialists and/or communists promising to create “Utopia” for all of us!
Have a nice day America, while you still can!

PS A word for those of you still holding that line FBI agents are really good boys/girls/what-whoever. Well, you may be partially right, but would you like to know why many of us old military and civilian cops refer to FBI agents as; “PFC’s (US Army rank of ‘private first class’) in business suits”? It’s real simple. If the agents don’t ask permission to go to the toilet and follow the bureau’s policy for accomplishing the act they may find themselves assigned to Tulle, Greenland or worst yet; Boise, Idaho!
that sonofabitch messes with trump he will wish he didn’t he is starting a mass up riseing an the crooked fbi wont be able to stop there os 75 million of us feed uo
This judge is a disgrace. Why he has not been disbarred for numerous reasons is beyond me. His continued employment puts a black mark on the legal profession that continues to accept him. New York’s legal community is rotten with the filth masquerading as legal personnel. DAs, Attorneys, Judges disgustingly corrupt. Numerous jokes about corrupt lawyers do not look so funny now.
Is Merchan awaiting further instructions?
Trump clearly is not!
