Courtney Jordan, Esq. @courtneyjordan_esq

Before a single witness testified in the Lil Durk federal trial, one juror said something during jury selection that may be the best explanation of the whole verdict. And it wasn't just any juror. It was the person who would become the foreperson, the one who signed the verdict. To be clear: I'm not saying this is WHY the jury acquitted, deliberations are private and unknowable. What's verified is the identity chain and what she said in voir dire. But before the trial even started, the future foreperson had put words to the exact principle the case would turn on: thinking something probably happened isn't proof. Suspicion fills the gaps. Reasonable doubt asks whether the evidence actually does. Note – Trial commentary. Lil Durk was acquitted on all counts. His codefendants were convicted on the stalking counts. #CriminalDefense #FederalLaw #JurySelection #ReasonableDoubt #VoirDire
