I don’t think there is such a thing as an innocent verdict. There is not guilty.
Yes, not guilty. Trump will say innocent.
It is very rare, but there have been situations where a judge declared that someone was actually innocent.
Directed Verdict: A directed verdict is a ruling entered by a trial judge after determining that there is no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to reach a different conclusion1. It can occur in a court case when the prosecution fails to produce enough evidence to prove his or her case2. The trial court may grant a directed verdict either sua sponte or upon a motion by either party1.
Important question is what happens if Trump is found guilty by the biased, hateful jurors?
Appeal. Sure, someday.
Prison for him? Then what: (insert answers here).
We’d better hope for a hung jury.
Blazing Saddles:
“They said you were hung.”
“They were right.”
