Showing Original Post only (View all)Maxwell Verdict In Question [View all]
https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/01/ghislaine-maxwell-verdict-comes-into-questionTo the commenter(s) that questioned my analysis of the original Reuter's interview with the troubled juror(s), I guess my take was not "so silly" after all. Unfortunately, I was almost exactly right.
Now, we should all hope the juror(s) in question did not blow it so bad, as to warrant a new trial. But, something tells me justice is fucked on his one. Incidentally, if a new trial is ordered, expect her to get released on house arrest.
The conspiracist in me says that a band of mercenaries for hire will show up in the first month of her home confinement and that will be the last time GM is heard from. She will find a nice new home in Russia or one of their allied countries, and all of the elites connected to this case will breath a big sigh of relief.
I really hope I am wrong, but, if what the juror said in the interview with Reuters is true about the deliberations and he lied during voi dire, this case is headed for trial number two. At that point, it will be incredibly difficult to keep her in jail awaiting a second trial. It has happened, but she has capable attorneys and endless resources, material and human, to bring about her desired release. It will take a massive bond, but she can afford it.

I would think that there would be a pretty harsh penalty for lying during jury selection.

Yeah, I know people won't like this, but I have my suspicions about Giuffre.

The Wannsee conference stopped being a conspiracy theory when it became a fact.

But if there's no evidence, then someone suggesting it happened is offering a theory.
