The NY State Supreme Court brought this to Judge Merchan's attention, leaving him no choice but to notify both parties.
This lawyer says it's an automatic granting of a Judgement Notwithstanding the Verdict or JNOV which would set aside the jury conviction. It would also be the end of the case bc Double Jeopardy has attached.

WOW! Fingers crossed.
I don't think Merchan would have said a peep if he could have avoided doing so. Wonder if there's more to this than we yet know...
