In all honesty I would hate to be a juror on this trial. I wouldn’t be able to know whether someone is guilty or innocent cause I don’t understand the details of the case and I would be bored to death.

Part of the responsibility of the prosecution is to engage the juror and make it interesting. You don’t want bored jurors. Probably why they wanted to present all the bling Manafort had accumulated. Class envy, that kind of thing.

Not to mention that our “justice” system is so utterly corrupt that if you vote to acquit Manafort you’d have to be afraid the KGB - um, I mean “justice” department will knock down your door at 2 in the morning and drag you off to solitary in some prison far away then threaten to lock you up for the rest of your life for something someone said they heard you might have done in 10th grade.

Yep... I have THAT little faith in them.

“In all honesty I would hate to be a juror on this trial. I wouldn’t be able to know whether someone is guilty or innocent cause I don’t understand the details of the case and I would be bored to death.”

Not me! Because this isn’t really about the guilt or innocence of Paul Manafort, I’d walk into the jury room and tell them that I am an “Unchangeable Not Guilty Vote!”
Let the rest of them know that no matter how long they “deliberate,” I will vote Not Guilty! My reasoning is that since Mueller is using the “justice system” to try and coerce false testimony from Manafort against the President, and not to adjudicate any of Manafort’s supposed “crimes,” that I will not be a participant in the railroad job here.

I once got as far in jury duty as jury selection. The case was an eminent domain case and I could see boxes of rolled up documents in the courtroom. When they failed to call me back I felt as if I had dodged a bullet of boredom.

I would be concerned about harm coming to it if the jurors names are publicized.

“...I wouldn’t be able to know whether someone is guilty or innocent...” EQUALS “reasonable doubt”.

The prosecution FAILED to present their case. They lose.
