That’s exactly what you did to my last question.
If Trump somehow proves his innocence and that wasn’t his voice on the phone asking Raffensberger to find more votes, then I’ll admit he shouldn’t go to jail for it.
Now, if it’s shown it is him, will you admit that he should?

He doesn’t have to prove innocent. DA need to prove guilty.
Trump is documented on audio tape doing exactly what he is accused of doing. In the absence of any reasonable explanation that the voice heard on the tape is not actually his, that’s enough evidence to support a conviction.

I look forward to all the conservative think pieces in defense of jury nullification.
Would be better if you did something for fellow man. Forget idiots. Do something good. Not hard. No
That does not mean create more votes.
Jury nullification works both ways. I wonder if there will be any published opinions encouraging or condemning jury nullification verdicts favoring the prosecution.
Endless tired from me and you. We have to agree to disagree.
Absolutely. Traditionally the conservative/federalist society types have argued that there’s no such thing, while bleeding heart liberals have argued its inherent in a democratic society. I expect that to flip.
Published opinions on jury nullification would be fascinating.
I would assume guilty regardless. Especially in GA. Is there else you there? Ugly no matter how you put it
In other words, you don’t care what the evidence is, you’re committed to Trump no matter what he did. As if we didn’t know.

I’m feeling stupid. What is jury nullification favoring the prosecution? Is it simply finding a defendant guilty despite overwhelming evidence of innocence?
I’m assuming it’s the jury convicting, despite the prosecution not meeting the burden of proof, because “he’s got to be guilty of something”.
Proud Boy Ethan Nordean gets 18 years. Joint-longest Jan 6 sentence so far, tying Captain Gun Safety Elmer Rhodes.
Tarrio next up on Tuesday. The people are asking for 33 years.
It could be, but in that instance you’d think the judge would dismiss the case before it gets to the jury. I took Geezer’s comment to be it goes both ways politically.
Q: Why did you engage is a seditious conspiracy while flagrantly violating the Hatch Act?
Mark Meadows’ lawyer.
A: Loud noises.

Yes. There are a lot of examples of nullification acquittals. I can’t think of a specific well known example of a nullification conviction, but it certainly does occur.
Deflect?
Is this in reference to anything in particular or are you just typing words?
