    So put a literal army of lawyers on it. It’s not like it’s important or anything.

      Let me get this straight - you want the government to cut a check made out to Donald Trump for a “literal army” of lawyers? Because that’s how that would work. The criminal justice system cannot place an unreasonable financial burden on a defendant that is presumed innocent.

        Hold on.

        The criminal justice system cannot place an unreasonable financial burden on a defendant that is presumed innocent.

        Yup still laughing. Just a minute.

        Okay okay. If Martha mother of 2 can end up homeless, in and out of jail, and jobless, because her court appointed attorney got her a not guilty verdict then Trump can fucking pay for lawyers.

          Did you mean a guilty verdict? In either case, you have a point. The justice system is far from perfect, and what you’ve described is a perfect example of that: courts tend to respect financial burden more than they do conflicting obligations (e.g. a job). But should we be advocating for an objectively worse legal system because Trump is protected from being forced to choose between inadequate representation or shelling out tens of millions of dollars? I don’t think so.

            No I didn’t. I meant what I said.

            And what happens with unpaid court fees?

            Oh debtor’s prison is back.

            I don’t care what the system is supposed to do on its best day. If this is how we’re treating everyday Americans then those are our de facto rights. Trump shouldn’t be getting extras.
