(4,144 posts)He is a right-winger, his parents and family are right-wingers, and the government prosecuting him will be right-wingers. Plus they'll have him in custody for months, telling him that he MUST publicly blame the Left, otherwise, he's a dead man.
I think we'll definitely hear from him, and it will 100% harm our side.

(2,472 posts)Any juror who wants to advocate for a fair trial, a thorough review of the evidence - that person's life is at risk, and they know it.
As a side note, we can probably assume that from here on our, a potential juror can expect to be asked if they know any trans people, and who they are.

(1,964 posts)Patel's minions are probably telling Robinson right now that if he pins as much as he can on trans people, Democratic politicians, and enemies of Trump that they can get him a reduced sentence. The proof will be when the Utah state prosecutor backs off their initial vow to pursue the death penalty.

(4,144 posts)This is exactly what is happening right now. For SURE.
The fascists know the affectionate for Kirk was a mile wide and an inch deep. Which means everybody on the Right will soon forget him personally, and revert to the culture war that is at the center of their existences. If this kid just says "the right things" and blames it all on the "The Pernicious Left", they'll forget about "Justice for Charlie" very quickly.
