The real fireworks will be the "affirmative" defense Trump's lawyers have promised. A defense is: my client wasn't there, didn't have opportunity for the murder, and his fingerprints aren't on the knife, which wasn't the cause of death anyway.

An affirmative defense is strong evidence that someone else committed the murder - motive, opportunity, fingerprints on the gun that delivered the coupe de grace - they pinned it on my client and the police didn't do a proper investigation because they are corrupt and lazy even though they had all the evidence before charging my client.

Actually, that’s not an affirmative defense. An affirmative defense is “I did it, but it was legal.” Self defense is an example of an affirmative defense.
