A courtroom artist's sketch shows the judge, parties, and jurors in the Donald Trump hush-money trial in Manhattan.
The hush-money jury could begin deliberations as early as Thursday.
  • Trump's jury will have only the verdict sheet and a laptop full of exhibits in the deliberations room.
  • They must check the boxes for "Not Guilty" or "Guilty" on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
  • They will not have a copy of the judge's hour-long, spoken instructions on the underlying law.

After four weeks of testimony by nearly two dozen witnesses — plus hundreds of exhibits and eight hours of closing arguments — the first-ever criminal trial of a former US president now has a deliberating jury.
