Predictions? Just a guess, based on released juror from the other day: I’ve narrowed it down to hung jury or acquittal. As for running for reelection, he definitely will if acquitted or if government declines to re-try after mistrial.
“Take as much time as you need.”
We can have food, oxygen and life-saving medications sent in. Your children may forget what you look like, but that doesn’t matter in the “Interest of Justice.”
And if you don’t reach a verdict by next Tuesday, we’re taking the roof off of the building.
(Hey, it worked when they were electing Popes a few centuries back.)
How long can something like this go on “in reality” before both defense and Prosecution have more reasons for appeal?
You have to wonder at what point it becomes a hostage situation.
Usually it’s a couple of weeks before judges give up.
I certainly hope not. There is enough evidence for probable cause on the charges, and at this point it appears at least one juror (impossible to know how many) believe’s he’s guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Regardless of the verdict, this guy needs to go away for good.
LOL…that is judge-speak for “realize right now that I will keep you hear for as long as it takes.”
Prosecutors don’t appeal.
He would’t be on trail if there was insufficient evidence to support PC. One the trial begins PC falls out of the picture. This matter is saturated in politics. The GOP’ers want him convicted no matter what so Christie can appoint a Republican in his place. The Democrats want him to stay in order to keep the GOP majority margin slim. If the Gov. of NJ was a Democrat I doubt Menendez would be on trial. And that is all there is to it.
