It's sad when an L.A. divorce lawyer's opposition to fraud charges complains that someone got through their divorce with some assets -- and fails to address that they admitted facts that an expert relied on and testified they did commit fraud. Let's see if the judge bites today.
@dcourtneylaw I agree that acquittal seems impossible. But I don't expect a hung jury based on the limited info online, even w/ Truth Social post-reading Juror #2, who has an MBA in finance. The 2 Biglaws can handle #2. https://t.co/lsnOQVJWNK
Trial consulting 101 for a criminal case -- where a unanimous verdict is required -- the prosecutor must have a well-formed group, without powerful factions that can hang a jury. So how are there 2 BigLaw lawyers on this jury?! The civil business litigator is quoted as saying he knows nothing about criminal law... so he can appear humble... and he probably kept a clean online social media presence so as not to alienate potential jurors in his own cases. I sure hope these guys get along because they'll probably determine Trump's first criminal trial outcome. #Trump #trial #BigLaw #jury https://t.co/e6i9SCnBKu
@dcourtneylaw@DavidLat reposted this about the Biglaw jurors:
#3 man late 20s/early 30s, transactional lawyer at Gunderson Dettmer
#7 middle-aged man, civil litigator at Hunton Andrews Kurth https://t.co/HOd8aGdwfq
@dcourtneylaw A BigLaw attorney's main skill is in advocating for their position, which is usually based on personal values. I'm guessing they have a skeptical view of the justice system, which fits with Trump's apparent defense strategy. I think it depends on their personal views of Trump.

@gobirdsEsq Neither is the right to travel. The Constitution wasn't designed to list everything people could do for centuries. It broadly protects individual liberties and separates church from state.
@LACoSheriff 2017-18 LASD budget: $3.16 billion
2018-19 LASD budget: $3.2 billion
2019-20 LASD budget: $3.5 billion
2020-21 LASD budget: $3.5 billion
Why have arrests dropped when crime increased?
It seems the sheriff isn't very good at his job... or math.
