Glad to see this crap over with. It’s really obnoxious, old and tired. Juries are really clown shows.

Get blacks on jury = perp walks if well funded.

Now the jury can sell book deals and won’t be accused of ‘putting a black man’ in jail.

O.J. showed what a joke our system of justice is.

As did J6.

“The Mann Act, also known as the White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910, makes it a federal crime to transport individuals across state lines for the purpose of prostitution or any other immoral activity. It was originally intended to combat human trafficking but has been used in various ways, including against consensual sexual conduct.”

That’s what they tried to get Matt Gaetz on. I hope Trump sees through this BS and does the right thing. The whole trial has been a sham.

Looks like it. Still, he was convicted of two counts of the Mann act. That’s going to hurt. He could get ten years for each count.

It is the responsibility of the defense to strategically select jurors who, based on their backgrounds, beliefs, or experiences, may be more receptive to the arguments advanced in favor of the defendant.

I have a friend who started out in the ‘80s as an attorney taking CJA (court appointed) cases in D.C., as many of us did. He tried maybe thirty cases before juries and lost them all. Then, he was assigned a client who was literally caught in the parking lot with a gun and the money, and the jury came back not guilty.

So Chuck Berry went to prison under the Mann act for crossing state lines with his live in girlfriend. Puff daddy it seems did more than that.

I don’t get it. He’s guilty of taking individuals across state lines for prostitution, but he’s not guilty of trafficking, despite the fact that the name of the law he was found guilty of has the word traffic in it. I’m surprised they didn’t bitch because of the word “white” in the law.

I guess guilty on 2 counts of 5 is a miracle in NYC.

Yup, Diddy basically got a slap on the wrist. Way too many bigwigs were connected with him. They made sure he was protected.
