The Manafort "defense" team spokesperson said that the prosecution didn't prove its case and so they were going for a mistrial or something. Manafort declined to testify on his own behalf. I wonder where the defense team was during the trial when REAMS of paperwork were brought forth showing PROOF of the criminal activities in which Manafort was a major player. I guess trumpitis is communicable. Just lie and deny and deny and lie and lie and deny and all will be well. What a joke! Thank you for your reply Shuhak and Happy Wednesday! :)
I guess the theory is that if the defense bring in their witnesses, it will only serve to refresh the jury's mind about all the prior testimony against him. They probably felt that heir cross-examinations of the prosecution witnesses was sufficient rebuttal. Happy Tuesday. :)
A Manafort trial spokesperson said they presented no witnesses because the Prosecution didn't make its case! What a crock! Miles of paperwork backing up what Manafort did. He declined to testify on his own behalf. A dog and pony show to be sure. trumpitis at work. Lie and deny and deny and lie and lie and deny. Don't believe your eyes or ears. What a waste of time and money! Manafort will spend the rest of his life in jail but I think he is banking on a Pardon from the pardon giver unless he cracks and flips. Whatever happens his goose is cooked. Thank you for your reply L and Happy Wednesday! :)
That's what I would think (that sufficient evidence was presented), but I guess I will be up to the jury. I just hope they don't get deadlocked and have to try Manafort again. Happy Wednesday. :)
I'm not sure. I would think that if a person is not convicted in a second trial, the prosecution would be hesitant to spend the money to try it a third time. I'm guessing that it might depend on how the jury voting went. Happy Thursday. :)
They are looking for that pardon and Mueller's team knows that. That also means Mueller knows that pardon is going to happen also. So, why go through all of this?
