      Yep, I came to comment this. Honestly this could be pretty good news for player 2 - getting a jury to convict when the punishment is death will be much, much harder.

      That’s true in state crimes, but federal prosecutions are actually very different.

      Federal prosecutors have a lot more room to argue and in general the court tends to favor the prosecution much more.

      The judge is responsible for sentencing (and Trump appointed a lot, guarantee he gets a Trump judge), while discovery is much more restrictive against the defendant.

      Remember nothing about this will be a fair trial. This is going to be the most cooked trial you’ve ever seen in your life. Jurors will be downright threatened if not bribed.

        Trial starts and it’s just trump in the jury box. Because executive powers are made up and laws don’t matter.

          That microcosm reflects the broader “This is terrible but i’m still too comfortable to do anything about it” mentality of the masses. The world is fucked and it’s all of our fault for letting a handful of people make things worse for all of us. We, including myself, are all guilty of this crime. We need to do something.

        Idk man, while I agree, I think the trump trials before the elections was the lowest point.

        Homer voice: lowest point so far
