Merchan just told the jurors that they didn't have to all agree on each of the predicate crimes - which is true! That's what the law is. Why is that showing bias? Dersh doesn't have to like the law, but that's what the law is. - Albaby

The judicial process is tilted towards protecting the rights of the accused as it should be. With that in mind, it seems how can a jury not be required to reach consensus on "the" crime or crimes which resulted in the prosecution in the first place.

I recall you said this "no-need-for-consensus feature" of NY Law has been upheld on appeal, but has this issue ever been upheld by SCOTUS?
