Well then what do subdivisions 2, 3, and 4 say? Edit: 2 and 3 do not apply. 4? I’m glad I’m not a lawyer. Anyways, yeah looks like $1k or the slammer.
All these fucking cowards
If we did that. We are in jail right now
Oh well

Meanwhile another prospective juror, who said she is a woman who is a single lawyer, said she may have read Trump’s book “The Art of the Deal” when she was younger, but she can’t be sure. She has multiple degrees, a law degree, Master’s degree, and bachelor’s degree. She used to be an amateur boxer but gave that up because she got too many black eyes, now her hobbies include watching TV on the couch. She said she browses headlines. Her father is a court officer.
I agree average person would be in jail. But exactly what are they afraid of? As I understand it they are mostly afraid of some technicality that overturns verdict on appeal. Do the rest of us not have appeal rights? Is Trump more likely to get a favorable ruling by appeals judges? With so many eyes on the case judges are worried about making a mistake that gets caught by some legal eagle analyst. Imagine how many people are in jail right now because a mistake in the courtroom didn’t get caught
He’s been catching more z’s but is still productive.
Haberman:
As Trump appeared to doze off in court, his social media feed on Truth Social was active in describing himself as being victimized by the proceedings and insisting he’s entitled to immunity in a federal case charging him with illegally trying to overturn the 2020 election.
- One prospective juror is a native New Yorker and retired high school teacher. He is a widower with an adult son, who is also a teacher. He likes cultural organizations including the New-York Historical Society, reads The New York Times every morning and also lists NPR, CNN and C-SPAN as media sources. He says he believes “that everyone should obey the law” and that jurors should “make our decisions solely on the evidence presented before us.”
Sounds like he would be a great juror and a sure strike for the defense

And the defendant gets to choose between $1k or jail? I thought the judge would get to choose that
Judge ofc. If he goes for the money he should put a K on the wall for every violation like they do in baseball. Maybe grouped in threes: KKK KKK KKK… Trump should like that.

Is there a betting line on this?
I’m guessing no one wants to be the one to make the dominos topple
If he does something really egregious like posting someone on the jury home address. So they remand him.
They are worried about maga chuds storming the court house? Murdering his family. Or trump wins president and trump hangs them on the wall
I don’t know. But everyone gets close to the line but no one has actually done anything yet.
Not gonna link it cuz right wing accounts but video our there of Stephen a smith on fox talking about how Dems are abusing law cuz scared of trump
I wouldn’t be shocked if usually you only go to jail if you can’t afford the fine or you’ve demonstrated that fines won’t stop you.
Trump team challenges potential juror over social posts describing former president as “the devil”
Donald Trump’s side is challenging another juror over social media posts.
As Trump attorney Susan Necheles reads the posts — including one describing Trump’s “egomaniacal, sociopathic incompetence” and another saying that Trump is “the devil” — the former president does not appear to react as he’s sitting back in his chair.

I’m too lazy to do this, but I’m curious what my top 3 most disqualifying statements would be. I’d actually love to see a draft of most disqualifying UP posts.

It would be worth jury duty if there was a chance everyone got to see my old fake Trump Tweets on 2+2.
