    No, he’s a cynical opportunist arguing for the benefit of the one red hat on the jury.

    I mean, the defense had jury consultants help them find the best juror, they drove out a perfectly qualified juror with the help of their media allies and managed to score a male investment banker who reports using truth social and Twitter as their exclusive news source.

    11 other jurors are an afterthought, they’ve always been targeting that one. The arguments seem ridiculous because they’re aimed at a Trump supporter. They know their audience.
