Former President Trump is railing against the amount of times his legal team can veto a potential juror choice for his hush money trial, which kicked off Monday.
I thought STRIKES were supposed to be unlimited when we were picking our jury? I was then told we only had 10, not nearly enough when we were purposely given the 2nd Worst Venue in the Country. Dont worry, we have the First Worst also, as the Witch Hunt continues! ELECTION INTERFERENCE! Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Wednesday morning.
You also can't strike a juror based on them being in a protected class on that alone.But that's ground enough to call for recusal to Trump.
Remember how they reported that they'd have to pepper the Fanta Menace's name throughout white house briefings to keep him engaged?
He's a malignant narcissist. Literally the only thing he has ever cared about has been himself.
I guess they are using those to show a history of bad acts?I am looking forward to seeing if Trump strokes out just from having his credibility impeached like this in a setting where he can't just walk away or silence the critics with an outburst.
A hung jury/mistrial will be bandied about by chuds and the media the same as an acquittal. They're functionally the same.No, it's not. Mistrials can be tried again. For one or both side(s) that can be detrimental to their case just as much as it could help them.

And the best part is that even if a Trumpist on the jury prevents a verdict, that just results in a new trial where, among other things, he gets to have his credibility impeached again, just like this.

He's constitutionally allowed to. He can waive the right, and he did, but they still had to let him sit if he wanted to.
Well, maybe can be retried, it is about as settled as Roe v Wade was. The basing for hung juries and mistrials to be retried was on a ruling that decided that jeopardy is not attached until the verdict is decided. But more recent than that the Supreme Court has ruled jeopardy attaching when the jury is seated.A hung jury leading to a mistrial does not lead to double jeopardy because that result brings the trial to a standstill with no resolution. Double Jeopardy applies when there's a final resolution to the case. Their actual angle from that point would be to go after the judge or the prosecutor for procedural violations.
So should there be a hung jury or mistrial, fully expect a case before the SC on DJT claiming double jeopardy.
Then why was he requesting it as if he didn't? And what about cases where the jury is kept anonymous from the defendant, which is something that happened in one of his civil cases.I don't think you can keep juries anonymous from the defendant in a criminal trial.

I guess they are using those to show a history of bad acts?They'll be using these to impeach credibility and as a "Lol, this dude has done nothing but commit fraud at all times relevant to this case."

I wonder if the prosecution will use the NY fraud trial to show that yes Trump has committed business fraud before.That's the first bout of conduct on the Tweeted cover page.

However, in Downum v US (1963), Crist v Bretz (1978), and Martinez v Illinois (2014), the Supreme Court has consistently held that the federal rule for trial by jury is that jeopardy attaches when a trial jury is sworn.
Should any of Donald's jury trials end in a mistrial or hung jury you can guarantee that he will take any attempts to re-try him to the SC and there is a very good chance he wins given which way they lean.
As it stands today, but you didn't read my whole post, but now I have time to source it so hopefully you can understand it better.
The foundation for retrial is from 1824, US vs Perez, which ruled based not on the Constitution but rather English Common Law that jeopardy does not attach until the verdict is rendered.

Hes not going to stop doing this stuff until he gets some serious consequences
https://twitter.com/joycewhitevance/status/1780726164648046960?s=46He's oddly quiet about the chud who tried becoming a stealth juror for him and was tossed out by the judge after his social media account was found to be full of Trumper bullshit

Remember how ridiculous everyone thought an Ace Attorney trial was? A Trump trial is starting to resemble one.Ok but Ace Attorney defendants are innocent

So its obvious at this point that his play is to argue juror bias if hes found guilty huhall the more reason to throw the book at him. He's a career criminal who's spent nearly his entire life in a court room, throw away the key.

Someone put this fucking asshole in jail already.This is why I'm not hopeful that Trump will ever see the inside of a prison cell even if he's found guilty in any of these criminal trials. He can just do shit that would easily land you or I in jail and nothing happens except maybe a lecture from the judge that he promptly ignores.
He keeps testing the waters of his immunity and he's right every fucking time I'm sick of it.
God can you imagine just how how royally fucked we as a country would be if someone SMART was an aspiring fascist? Oh my god it'd be curtains.

Hmmm. I got a notification for a new post, but whoever 198 is has me blocked. Interesting.It's CSCA33.
