A Tale of Two Trials

   No pulling punches for me
     I’ll write this as if the free world were free

   The same legal process by which 
     OJ Simpson was acquitted 

   Today, Donald J. Trump
     on 34 counts in 9 hours was convicted

   And the name of that process is not amoralism 
     The name of that process is reverse racism

Very well said. It's more of sentiments than what's right and lawful. Cheers Wolf.

A very good poem. These lawyers should know that Communism in Russia first got rid of the intelligently and the lawyers. Same in Cuba. I think they're doing themselves out of a job.

These 'lawyers' are 'low-yers:' They go as low as they can go.

If they had polled that jury before the trial they would have come to the same decision...without hearing a word of alleged evidence

I don't think so, John. Rather, I think that given the way the trial was set up by Bragg and the way it was conducted by Merchan predisposed the findings of the jury. My jury experience tells me that jurors are, by and large, honest in their ability to weigh evidence. These juries were victims of a sham trial, is all...
