In reply to the discussion: An indictment and a jury trial but no conviction? [View all]Genki Hikari
(1,766 posts)44. Depends on the case the idiot is tried for
If the trial is for the stolen documents, tax evasion, tax fraud, or the Georgia election tampering, then I don't see a jury giving an outright innocent verdict. A hung jury is the best he could hope for with any of those.
I'd like to think 12 Americans are smart enough to grasp his guilt in plotting J6, but the cynic in me fears that most Americans are so irredeemably stupid that they'd accept whatever excuse he or his shysters make up to let him walk on that. Hope for a trial held in DC for this one. That jury pool is our best bet for holding the scumbag accountable.

TFG would never plead insanity; he's a narcissist and that would be too humiliating.

He has already lost his mojo. If he is indicted he will delay the trial as long as possible

I think it's the only sensible approach, and you know he will put off the trial as long as possible

If indicted March-April, trial wouldn't be until December at earliest, probably not until 2024

What if there are multiple charges (Counts) and one (or two, or more) of them gets a guilty verdict?

I'd be very upset, but I'm not anticipating that. I think the jury verdict in the seditionist case

I feel strongly that Trump should face multiple prosecutions in different venues.
