Ha I knew it! They have nothing, anyone can find a witness or 150 for something.

"Listen, I need you to find me 151 Witnesses - just enough for me to win..."

[–] formergijoe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

That sounds like it has the making to be a perfect phone call!

[–] lingh0e@lemmy.film 4 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't be surprised if that were an actual conversation he had with his lawyers.

[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 27 points 2 years ago

That's a lot of crisis actors! Soros is going bankrupt!

This is the one that will be televised too. Probably is so long because of all the co-defendents

[–] qisope@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

you just know they're going to end season 1 with a cliffhanger

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't even see how a jury would follow something like that. It's a college course in the way of information overload.

If Trump and his team could dream it up in far less than a month, mere mortals will be able to follow it. It's not really all that complex. Just f*** over the election counting process in a variety of ways.

There's too much search engine garbage to find an original source, but PhDs, scientists, physicians, and attorneys (of course) are basically disqualified from jury duty.

Funny how demonstrating that you're able to think for yourself with a degree disqualifies you.

I'm a nurse and was on a murder jury trial with a sheriff deputy. They're not allowed to ask your profession in voir dire. What you cannot do is provide expert testimony as a juror in deliberation. You are, of course, expected to use your experiences in your decision.

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

They don't ask your profession.

They ask things like your highest level of education or "if you use math at work".

That last one got one of my colleagues immediately dismissed.

[–] LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They don't want someone to start adding context or outside information during the jury deliberation. If you do, then the defense has no opportunity to argue against you.

They don't want any additional discussion that could sway the case unfairly one way or the other.

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That is my understanding as well.

But that's "lawyers vs justice".

The jury is supposed to think for itself.

I've had jury duty twice in NY. I'm educated and use math and programming in my work daily.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago

I've got two jury duty summons so far and haven't even made it to any form of interview. It may be due to my age at the times, but my job pays me for jury duty so I'll gladly do my duty.

We all know how much Trump likes those big numbers!

[–] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sounds like winning to me... You think he's tired of winning yet?

[–] spider@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Well, he was literally begging for more indictments during a rally a few weeks ago, so maybe he needs to pad those numbers a bit more.

The Cheese does not stand alone
