The Alexandria, Virginia jury that will determine the fate of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort submitted a note to the court Tuesday morning. In it, they asked what happens if they can't come to a unanimous conclusion on one of the charges.
“If we cannot come to consensus on a single count, what does that mean for a final verdict?” the note said.
In other words, there are jurors who have reasonable doubt and cannot deem Manafort guilty. The jury has been deliberating for four days.
According to Manfort's attorney, it is unclear if the jurors cannot reach a unanimous conclusion on a one single count, or on multiple single counts.
