Trump can be found innocent.

Trump can be found innocent.
A “mens rea”, (state of mind) defense allows the criminal justice system to differentiate between someone who did not mean to commit a crime and someone who intentionally set out to commit a crime.

The legal defense of some, (if not most of those who pleaded or were found guilty of seditious conspiracy or lesser crimes in regard the the attack upon the Congressional building, was based upon their belief they were acting in support of then President Trump's publicly expressed wishes.
A jury can legally find Donald Trump innocent if they believe Trump was sufficiently unaware or not motivated to commit any criminal act, (i.e. Trump and his followers were sufficiently ignorant and/or stupid.

You do not understand the proper legal terms....first of all by law everyone is presumed innocent until found guilty and no jury finds anyone innocent....if not convicted they are found to be not guilty.
 
ILMAO. Trump will be found guilty by the Left's communist agenda, and in the end nothing will come of it.

If you haven't noticed the left will do ANYTHING to stop Trump.

Persuader, you're correct; in a criminal case, if an entire jury finds a defendant not guilty, they've' legally stated the prosecution has not convinced them of the defendant's guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt”.
If Jury's determinations that are less than unanimous, prosecutors can choose to retry defendants. In the USA, (unlike plea bargained guilty pleas), juries' determinations of guilty are seldom incorrect and prosecutors are bound by budget restraints. Prosecutors generally refrain from going to trial if they didn't believe they can prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
 
Ex-president Donald Trump and some of his associates have been indicted in Georgia. A Fulton County grand jury determined there was sufficient evidence to warrant they be brought to trial in criminal court. Georgia's criminal “RICO” laws were drafted to be similar to federal “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations” laws. Trump's case for a similar federal trial has been scheduled to commence in March- 2024, and his Georgia trial not yet been scheduled. I wonder:
If any of Trump's criminal trails are concluded with a guilty verdict prior to the 2024 Republican National Convention, would Trump's supporters continue striving for his nomination?

If conceivably U.S. Voters and the electoral college would elect a candidate found guilty of attempting to overthrow a federal election; would such an elected candidate actually be sworn into office?

Do Dems honestly think they can convict a former POTUS who's running for re-election? :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg:

BluesLegend, if delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention should individually conclude Trump could not be elected but he's likely to spoil the campaign of any Republican nominee other than himself, then there's no disadvantage for them voting as they determine to be what's actually to their nation's best interest.
Too often we're all required to choose between what we should do, or what's to our greater convenience. When what's right is no less convenient, that's a heavenly occurrence.

Yes. No one cares how juries packed with Democrats decide about Trump's guilt.
 

Bripat9643, apparently, you're unaware of the legal process of “voir dire” at the beginning of criminal trials,
or you have no confidence in the capabilities of Trump's attorneys,
or of at least some, if not an entire American 11 jurors upholding their oaths to find guilt only if "proved beyond a reasonable doubt"?

You so despise American election officials, poll workers, judges, and jurors? Above all else you're certain of Donald Trump's innocence?

bripat is a MAGA supporter, Supposn, who exhibits cognitive and emotional issues.

He would support a Trump dictatorship.
