One holdout juror was all that prevented Paul Manafort from being convicted on all 18 counts he faces, a juror told Fox News on Wednesday night. Juror Paula Duncan told Fox News that a single juror held out on 10 charges, while the jury unanimously agreed on eight guilty counts. Duncan said she was a Trump supporter who wanted Manafort to be innocent, but the mountain of evidence was overwhelming. "That's the part of a juror, you have to have due diligence and deliberate and look at the evidence," she said. Duncan said she was skeptical of prosecutors' motives, and that she suspects Manafort would not have been tried if not for the "witch hunt to try to find Russian collusion." She was the first juror to go public with her story.
