I don’t know if the country is prepared for either outcome, if he walks or gets done. Now, what’s interesting to me, will there be Pro-Trump violence if he’s convicted? And if there isn’t, does that then deflate his threats to the country?

I would think the country would be able to breathe easier knowing his threats to the nation are toothless

The first jury I've ever heard of with Lawyers on it.

In my previous career, I was a law enforcement officer. There were no hard laws against it that I knew of, but the courts allowing one of us or a lawyer on a jury was unheard of—at least, it was back in the late '90s.

Do we know what kind of law they practice? I could see where that might make a difference.

The defense had the same opportunity and time as the prosecution to question or remove a juror.

Irrelevant, yes, that is usually always the case, but jury selection like this always takes weeks or months.

Specific Lawyer practice makes no difference just like "Type of Cop" made no difference.

But if it did, it's impossible to find now. The Corrupt Judge, whose immediate family is profiting millions of dollars from Trump's persecution, sealed the information once he started getting criticized for it.

Not always. I think the fact the prospective jurors had the option to opt out right upfront without question moved things along quickly.

This would make sense. It would be very easy to eliminate jurors in this case, and unlike what might be more typical, the Judge started with a simple questionnaire.

There is no corrupt judge in this case, and the only one profiting from these proceedings is Trump himself.

Did you get your bobble head doll and golden kicks yet? I hate to ask how your truthsocial stock is doing.

Post #18

I look forward to your providing corroboration for these claims:

1) the judge is "corrupt", and

2) trump is being "persecuted" instead of being prosecuted, and

3) the immediate family of the judge is "profiting millions of dollars" from this particular trial

Thanks.

Yes, he sure won't be convicted over actually doing anything wrong. If the Real President is found guilty, it will be because the NY jury pool is over 95% Trump-hating Democrats, many of whom are willing to lie to get on this jury. The jury was such a rushed job that the Trump legal team had to investigate jurors after the fact and has found several.
