This expose by one of the Manafort jurors is really interesting. She is a Trump supporter (who did voir dire on her?), and spoke on Fox News. As I guessed, there was one juror who held out against a full conviction of all counts. The paper trail evidence is what convinced this juror, who said she didn't want Manafort to be guilty (WHO DID VOIR DIRE ON HER?).
Basically, as many have said, this was a favorable judge, a favorable jury and Manafort still got convicted.
Jury trial lay at the heart of our judicial system, but at the same time, there is something fundamentally broken about the fact that one willfully obstuse juror can screw everything up.
