First of all, I’m not that smart. Secondly, yes, the cornerstone of our legal system is innocent until proven guilty. In theory, yes, that is true. But in practice, it may be necessary to prove one’s innocence in order to prevent conviction. Remember, a lot of jurors are stupid.
This all started because of Pelosis tweet.
I did not say prove innocence. I said they have to Prove the evidence against isn’t enough to convict. Exact words. That may take the form of any number of strategies whether it’s doing nothing or generating a defense, attacking the claims, dismantling their evidence whatever. There is nothing remotely controversial about this that happens literally everyday all over the world.
This is crazy. I have said this five times already. It’s theory. Then there is practice then there is the reslity that many people can’t afford good defenses and those that were wrongly convicted that ABSOLUTELY DO have to prove their innocence after the fact.
Good lord 😂 the post you quoted I said this very thing in the first line 😂 Maybe you miss the word exonerated?
It's not a theory. The judge i worked for said, "from my experience, jurors take their role seriously."
Wrongly convicted have a different burden than a normal defendant. At the trial level, a defendant has zero burden to prove innocence, again, they can and do ask the judge to acquit them after the prosecution rests. Basically, without doing any work (other than cross examination), the defense asks the judge to get rid of this.
Priceless Cack. You already said they’re felonies yet no one has seen the charges yet. No one is defending Trump. They’re just saying this may not be a slam dunk given those who have some inside info are saying there are a lot of questions to be answered.
This is only more proof of the TDS. These two posts by Cack were literally back to back. Calling out others for defending Trump without knowing all the details. Very next post .... "Trumps about to go to jail". Sounds reasonable. LOL
I shouldn't be trusted! Always double check. But yes law school broke my me.
Hes probably rightly assuming it is a felony. If its related to the payment/business records it needs to be a felony from what I understand. Statute of limitations would've ran on a misdemeanor it sounds like.
Yep, he needs to go away. I’ve always said the best thing for everyone is to ignore him. Don’t give him any coverage but the media can’t help themselves. I read where his campaign raised something like 4 million as soon as the indictment came out.
True
Agree, Cack already found him guilty. Lol
It’s weird that the people who agree with Trump that he was fully vindicated when he didn’t get removed from office after being impeached are now arguing that trials don’t prove innocence. It’s almost like they don’t believe anything they are saying, ever. 😏
I haven’t. I’ve said multiple times I’m waiting to see what the charges are first and then the actual trial. Haha.
The definition of vindication indicates just such a phenomenon.
I dont think he was ever vindicated. Impeachments are political in nature. I think you have largely created a strawman.
The trumps going was jail was toungue in cheek. Maybe should have used italics or a lol.
We were talking about this board, maybe you missed that. That’s why I specifically mentioned peoples responses to LAX’s question. Slow down and focusing on reading comprehension.
I did.
