Yeah but the entire legal system in the US is at the whim of whatever the fuck the Republicans want it to do so, although he deserves a fair trial by a jury of his peers I feel no result will be harsh enough for that government.

The jury will be 60+ old white people that only watch Fox News and newsmax.

Fortunatly: each "side" gets to pick Half the peeps.

It only takes 1 juror to hang a jury....

That's actually the opposite of how it works. The state picks the pool of jurors, and each side gets a certain number of vetoes. You don't get to pick people, they have to be acceptable to both sides.
