    Hoping to see him face actual consequences for once in his life. What he did cannot be normalized by either side of the house.

      What’s really terrifying is that his followers can’t possibly fathom that a guy with a 50 year history of doing shady stuff, is in fact, still continuing to do shady stuff.

      The problem is - they’ll file tons of motions and injunctions to try to delay this as long as possible.

    why do they have this stupid thing where you can’t have phones / cameras / etc in the courtroom? it’s 2023, give us streams. it’s public record isn’t it?

      It tends to turn court rooms into drama rooms. Everybody starts performing instead of acting serious. The OJ trial is a great example of how damaging cameras can be. Whether you agree with this or not, this is generally the reason why.

      Well I can think of at least one case in the past few years where courtroom recordings turned the whole trial into a media fiasco and a witch hunt. Maybe it’s justified in some cases, but on the whole I personally think it’s unhealthy for justice.

    I hope tomorrow doesn’t go from protest to riot. I feel like the far-right groups are so full of feds after Jan 6th that anything too coordinated will be difficult.

        I’m not going to be able to watch, just check my phone occasionally. Hopefully someone will post live updates on the fediverse. Breaking news from people on the scene was one of the things I liked searching reddit for.
