It has come to light that there was a stunned silence in the park across the courtroom where a jury found former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records via Daily Mail.
It is noted that the news quickly stunned the large crowd of around 70 which had gathered since Thursday morning and Trump supporters were overcome with emotion. One man was spotted crying hysterically and others were red with rage and a few were unusually silent following the verdict.
Richie Frank, been a supporter of the former president for 30 years, said the verdict was ‘an eight year set up’.
‘The verdict is fake. Everyone was indemnified him. It’s a deep state it’s another country running this country,’ he told DailyMail.com
‘He shouldn’t be locked up but if he is, Eric Trump for president.’
‘Blackmail talks and that’s what gets this guilty verdict. No one knows what he is guilty of.’
Another Trump supporter, Kim Sabbagh, said: ‘He’s not guilty, all the evidence is there.
‘Look at the corruption in our politics. This is nothing. I think it’s going to be overturned eventually.
‘He’s not going to jail. He is going to be president by that time.
‘I think this has helped his election chances. Have you seen a Biden rally? He couldn’t fill up a bus stop.’
On the other hand, some other people cheered and celebrated the news with one man screaming ‘Guilty’ and unveiling a banner with the same statement. One Trump supporter and an anti-Trump protester got into a heated argument following the verdict.
It is noted that protester John Michael Lockhart told him: ‘I am on the right side of justice.
‘He is guilty of fraud. I am thrilled with the verdict. I came in from Louisiana for this, I have been waiting for this for eight years,’ he said.
‘I was running a newspaper for 25 years and I shut it down during his term of office because I was printing the truth and the people of Louisiana couldn’t handle it.
‘I don’t put up with racists or bigots.’
The Trump supporter, who did not want to be named, said: ‘They hate Trump it’s our own people, our own people are gaslighting New Yorkers.
‘This man is innocent. You don’t get a fair trial in New York. I am a native new Yorker that’s a dirty court.’
