As I said. jury trial, demand max sentence. DARE YOU
As a juror, I would truthfully answer any questions, as I have done on all the juries I have been called for. In the VERY unlikely event that I was then seated, I would view the evidence impartially. At that point, if the facts presented match the article that I have read, I would find her “not guilty” and laugh in the judge’s face. Unfortunately, contempt is (usually or always?) decided by the judge, not a jury. She’s at the mercy of the woman who already showed no concern for her as a victim. I just hope the judge is reading our comments - and has as little backbone as John Roberts.
Okay, ignorance is too inflammatory a word here, but lack of understanding of how the law works is not.
This would be a contempt charge. - There is no trial, jury or otherwise, other than the judge listening to her explain why she was in contempt of his gag order before he passes sentence on her.
That being said, her attorney(s) would file for a writ of Habeas Corpus in a Superior court and move to have the order vacated.
Personally, I think that the Judge is an idiot.
