Yup, Trump managed to avoid being held accountable for his proven crimes.
More like those engaged in political lawfare avoided taking it too far. There's probably deep furrows on courtroom floors from all of their feet dragging.
Yeah, yeah. You can keep calling a fair trial "lawfare" all you like. But only because you continue to ignore the EVIDENCE that showed a jury thst Trump was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This is real simple. If the jurors belived any part of all the claims that Trump becoming president was going to have a negative impact on their lives and those they care about, then there's no way they could be truly impartial. Unlike most jurors, they had a personal stake in the outcome. And unlike most jurors they might have already had an axe to grind against the defendant long before they were called for jury duty.
If any of the jurors being selected felt that way, why did Trump's lawyers select them, or not raise an objection for cause?
Nobody is a mind reader. And just as people lie to get out of jury duty, others are capable of lying to get on jury duty. Trump's lawyers could only do their best with what they had to work with.
It's those who see nothing wrong with fudging a few business ledger lines to hide infidelity/immorality from their spouse/significant other or general public.
ozso hasn't been arguing that Trump is innocent, evidence has nothing to do with it either way. By touting lawfare the argument is that the prosecution of his crimes was politicaly motivated.
That's not what the term means.
First, both legal teams participate in jury selection. Second, jurors are instructed to reach an impartial verdict, based on the evidence presented. They are not "paid by the court no less to secure a guilty conviction."
Not true. There is no limit to how many jurors each legal team can excuse for cause. There are a limited number of preemptory challenges, i believe three each, that do not have to show cause.
So you're continuing with the conspiracy theory that the jury was in on it, huh? Oh well, I guess you gotta go with what ya got.
They weren't on the jury. And how many of them saw all of the evidence and heard all of the testimony as the jury did?
The Manhattan DA’s office has filed charges for falsification of business records 9,794 times since 2015.
