BBC News analysis over Trump's hush money trial convictions. They argue that the loss was partly from bad legal defense (e.g. failure to highlight lack of intent from Trump, contradiction by Robert Costello, etc.)

S.E. Cupp had a great quote about this case:
“But what an ironic and utterly avoidable unforced error on the part of Trump. Was the hush money even necessary? In hindsight, knowing his voters and how much they were and still are willing to forgive him, it’s likely they wouldn’t have even cared in 2016 if they’d learned that he’d had an affair with an adult film star a decade earlier —which he denies. After all, they were already aware of many of his personal peccadillos and loved him anyways."

I agree. Even after his self-confessed admission of sexual misconduct, they still supported him. Seems everyone forgot the Gary Hart incident.

Yesterday's verdict promotes the Rule of Law, yet some republican members of Congress continue to support his criminality; so they are co-conspirators.
