(22,637 posts)There's a difference. He has admitted his failings and expressed remorse on multiple occasions, and he served time for his crimes (i.e., "paid his debt to society" ). In many ways, he's the very model of a modern reformed criminal (apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan).
If all of that isn't obvious to the jurors by now, never fear; the very skilled prosecutors will be sure to remind them of it in the closing statements.
I believe this trial is going very well for the prosecution, not just because it looks that way to me, but because of all the legal experts who have been saying so.
Please try not to worry too much. Trump is not going to be acquitted. For that to happen, the jurors would all have to agree that he did not do the things he's accused of. A hung jury is always possible, but if that happens, he can be retried. He's not going to get off scotfree.
