...nope. "Furthermore, if that conduct was a federal offense, you may be tried and convicted in both a state and federal court. This is known as the "dual sovereignty doctrine," and it is an exception to the "Double Jeopardy Clause" of the U.S. Constitution." ...but hey, thanx for "keeping us informed".
Okay, sorry, I thought if read in context , that it was fairly plain. I will break it down for you. If the verdict(s) reached, are not what most in here expect. That being guilty with a life term, most will be very unhappy. At that point I would expect to see people blaming the judge or finding some other way to express themselves in the negative.
...ummm no, it was not "fairly plain"...it was instead fairly vague since you declined to cite who you were referring to...you could just as easily been talking about the people in this thread that are hoping for Manafort to go free. ...if you had instead been crystal clear as you finally were above, I would not have asked. ...did I "break it down" well enough for you?
Turns out to be a very bad one. He gets to spend the rest of his nights in jail. He still has another trial to go and it looks like that one will probably result in even worse punishment for Manifort. Not looking good for Manifort.
So, there's never a credible conviction of anyone? Are you saying we need to replace our legal system?
Not at all, my friend. As I stated elsewhere, I do not mind playing Devils advocate. Opening up counter arguments or possibilities . As to the example I gave about one person being able to sway a jury, that was serious. I lived it. I think our jury system is the only true ability to protect our selves from over zealous prosecution.
