    You plead not guilty because they have to prove you did it beyond a reasonable doubt. If they messed with the evidence (it looks like they did) then that evidence will be inadmissable. Plus the jury could still find him not guilty.

      Everyone is jumping to conclusion like he did it… That’s for the NY state and DoJ to prove…

      The fact that government gets two tries is an insult to the American public.

        This is one thing I’ve slowly been agreeing with France on: the name of someone accused of a crime is not released publicly unless and until they are convicted. There is a huge propensity for “the court of public opinion” to convict someone just because police arrested them.

        What do you mean by this? I thought only NY state got to take a whack at him? Is some other court claiming they get to try him too?

          Apparently feds think they should get a second try and they want death penalty too lol

          Apparently this is established law too, so much for double jeopardy 🤡

              they are really exposing themselves here… i guess the oligarchs feels is more important than keep appearances of propriety
