Bill Shipley discusses Trump attending the wake of a New York City police officer who was fatally shot during a traffic stop.

Donald Trump's decision to attend the wake of a slain New York City police officer may put him in good stead with the jury in his upcoming criminal trial, a former federal prosecutor has said.

A verdict in a jury trial must be unanimous, meaning every juror must agree on the verdict. If they can't all agree, this will result in a hung jury, and the judge will declare a mistrial unless they can reach a decision upon further deliberations.
