i can't imagine this happening with the orange man's trial in the bragg affair but this is one more opportunity to spread the word on jury nullification which every american aught to know about;
For several years I practiced law. I was counsel to many people who’d been indicted by a grand jury and subsequently tried before a jury, a jury tasked with deciding the guilt or innocence of my client.
As any litigator will tell you, going to court is at best a dice roll. There is no way to tell — despite the proliferation of professional jury consultants — to predict which way a jury will go in a given case. I’ve personally sat there with my client, convincing him that his innocence was obvious to anyone who’d heard the evidence, only to have a jury file back into a courtroom and pronounce a guilty verdict. Likewise, I’ve been certain that my client would be escorted out of the courtroom in cuffs, only to hear “not guilty” pronounced by the jury foreman.
I’m sharing these experiences with you as a way to warn those in the Manhattan district attorney’s office who are preparing to present their case against Donald Trump to a jury. Regardless of how certain Alvin Bragg is of Trump’s guilt, a jury could listen to his evidence against Trump and yet find the former president not guilty of all the 34 felony charges laid against him.
In fact, it is possible that a jury could hear evidence that to the millions of people who will be following the courtroom proceedings would seem to build an unassailable wall of proof of the former president’s guilt, and then, in disregard of that evidence, find the defendant not guilty.
Historically speaking, such a scenario has not only happened, but it has been advocated by many of the men who founded the United States...........more.......
