We the people should just nullify any jury and break our boy out. Fuck the police. They would kill anyone given the opportunity.
Nah, then he's a fugitive forever.
All that is required is for one juror to say that they cant identify him from the shooting video, so they have reasonable doubt, and stand on the courage of their convictions (a poor word choice in this context, but all i could think of).
They would have to also reject the supposed corroborating "evidence" as well, like DNA they found at the scene, but there is a high likelihood that was planted, certainly high enough that there is reasonable doubt there as well. Nobody trusts NYC cops, or the Sociopathic Oligarchs who are demnding justice for one of their own, who is a Corporate Serial Killer for Profit, responsible for the deaths and suffering of thousands of people who purchased his fraudulent service/ product. They will pay anything to send a message to the poors to stay in line, and do what they are told.
If i was a juror, i could easily find him not guilty, and it wouldn't even be jury nullification. Its just an incredibly weak case, built on propaganda.
You're out of your mind if you think they'll let that happen.
State court there's some room, but federal court is entirely different, the judge has far more power to steer the trial and can kick jurors out because he feels like it.
Most likely he'll have an 'accident' in prison, get epsteined, this is a horrifying precedent for them and they have the power to send a message.
Yeah, I'm thinking they'll do the "he attempted to escape/kill one of his guards in transit, we had to shoot him" thing - I feel like the entire entourage of armed guards will provide cover for the news networks to go "well he was incredibly violent, anyone could've seen this coming".
Not that I think you're wrong, but having him wear a bulletproof vest, handcuffs, and shackles on his ankles any time he's transported/shown off in public is gonna make that story real hard to buy
