In Russia there is also a jury trial. They consider judicial matters only when the accused is accused of murder or another agonistic crime. Moreover, the jury is selected very strictly. They should not know anything about the crime, not have any connections, of any kind, with the participants in the process. If during the trial it is revealed that any juror has any connection with any party to the trial, then the entire panel is dissolved.
In reality, a jury trial is a street court, a kind of legalized lynching. Whatever location the jury is in, that will be the verdict. This is extremely biased. The law can be wrong. But he is the Law. If the rule of law is questioned, the state will collapse.
Don't destroy your state!

We'll see what his sentence is, but we should all hope for leniency, at least a degree of it. After all, this man represented the highest office in our land; out of respect for that office, some grace should be granted.
Do you think Trump respected the office?

If he gets any jail time, that leaves him vulnerable. Think Arkancide. Think Epsteined.
For this reason, I hope he does not get jail time.

My bet is Trump is about to go the way of Epstein .

I think an appropriate punishment for him would be to force him to wear those ugly, gaudy shoes he was hawking with every outfit for the rest of his life. No more Gucci loafers or versace or whatever, he has to wear those ugly clown shoes every single day, no matter what he is wearing or doing. Every day for the rest of his life. Although that might violate the 8th amendment against cruel and unusual punishment.
