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. “I’m a civil rights lawyer. If I can get a case into the Bronx, I’ll move heaven and earth. Bronx juries, they engage in Robinhood-ism. They take from the rich and give to the rest of us – their verdicts are always generally right at the ceiling,” he explained. "There’s no limit in the Bronx. They love to give money to the people. Donald Trump, as much as he is loved in certain corners of the country, he is not loved in the Bronx.”

“If jurors can take time out of their busy days to sit in judgment, you can’t take time out of your busy day?” McLaughlin said of panelists’ potential sentiment. As far as the instruction goes: “I don’t think it’s going to carry much weight. Jurors, inside themselves, are going to resent the fact. Who does he think he is? He’s not going to show up to court?”

They take from the rich and give to the rest of us – their verdicts are always generally right at the ceiling.” “There’s no limit in the Bronx.
