Legal analysts predict Trump's video deposition in Bronx trial will infuriate jurors

According to two legal experts with experience in civil trials in the Bronx, Donald Trump is headed down a rough -- and likely expensive path --if a jury rules against him in a case involving protesters at Trump Tower when he began his 2016 presidential campaign.

On Monday, as a Manhattan jury begins hearing a case alleging the Trump organization engaged in criminal tax fraud, jury selection in the Bronx will begin in the case of Efrain Galicia, who claims Trump's security guards roughed him up outside Trump Tower in 2015, at the behest of the now-former president.

As the Guardian's Victoria Bekiempis is reporting, "For years, prosecutors across the US have beaten their chests about holding Trump accountable, but now it is a simple assault case out of the Bronx – not one of their many investigations – that is actually going to trial. And if the jury in this case does what Bronx juries tend to do, Trump might feel significant consequences, legal veterans tell the Guardian."

According to Randolph McLaughlin, Pace University law school professor, Bronx juries love sticking it to the rich and there is not a lot of love in the borough for the former president.

It is a civil trial. In New York state It only requires 5 out of 6 jurors to agree to render a verdict unlike a criminal lawsuit which would require unanimity.
