The way I see this going is
Mangione wins his initial case on the issues you highlight.
Theres a big legal slapfight.
Ends up in front of the supreme court.
Trump makes a public statement about how dangerous people like Mangione need to be found guilty and executed.
Shortly after the statement, the Supreme Court abruptly declares Mangione guilty.
Trump holds a public execution within a month. Possibly profiting off it by selling tickets to his billionaire backers.
SCOTUS doesn't (normally) rule on guilt, they rule on the legal questions raised in the appeal, and send cases back down to be finished.
Doing a lot of heavy lifting there
cause SCOTUS has been so normal the past 10 months, amirite
also i think he missed the whole "Trump publicly says he needs to be guilty, and SCOTUS immediately declares guilty" aspect
Can the Supreme Court overrule a jury? Doesn't he have a right to a jury trial? Can Mangione be convicted if no jury is willing to do it?
Not that constitutional rights have ever stopped Trump.
If theres no one willing to follow the law, then nothing can be held accountable.
as you see with the trump admin. Does whatever it wants, with almost impunity, because they have corrupted the entire system to get rid of all checks and balances.
Trump got dementia he isn't going be able to say shit. But wish he would he tank the GOP for life. Lugi is popular even with Maga.
