I wouldn't demean any jury...even the oj Simpson jury who had no choice but find not guilty...in federal trials, the juries do their jobs almost always correct. In this trial, the defense only defense is the govt fabricated all the charges, coherced all the witnesses and made up all the evidence, no jury is going to swallow that crap. Manafort will be guilty on most if not all charges.

I think the average person/juror will not only find him guilty, they'll be pissed off, too. Vinca Aug 2018 #5
