    If it’s anything like lawyer shows I’ve watched, the evidence/disocvery can be substantial, and I imagine is 10s of thousands of documents or more.

    So sure, they have it all, but like you said, they don’t know how it’s going to be presented.

    Something innocent that gets overlooked by the defense could be the start of a trail that becomes the guaranteed win.

    Seems like a big win for the prosecution not having to tip any of their hand.

      If it’s anything like Matlock, we won’t know the smoking gun that ties the whole case up until just near the end, when Ben has his “ah-ha!” moment.

        If it’s anything like recent history, Trump will die peacefully just before he goes to jail.

        Which honestly, I’ll take it. Rest in pee
