If you were going on trial...?

Would you be on your Twitter machine talking trash about other people involved in the trial, such as the prosecutor or people that may have done you wrong, and screaming that you did nothing wrong and that it is the other people who are "crazy"?

Or would you be getting a good lawyer and putting your best defense forward?

How legal would it be? Could you be charged with a crime for interfering with the upcoming trial? Would it be an obstruction of justice or what?

Just curious...

His career is suing people who can't possibly fight him and then going back to publicity shame them.
