Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 15, 2025

Hey, do you still have that double headed coin?

I’m surprised more defendants don’t refuse to waive their right to a speedy trial. I think it’s a good strategy for many. The prosecution is rarely ready to go at the time of charging, and the shorter the prep time, the less the lawyer will cost.

Money talks.

If you give the right coin to Trump, his DOJ will not even prosecute.

Fellowship of Felons.

Well, you can’t get much quicker than that….

The big question. Does he have money, lots of money?

First, take a year to file charges. Second, slow walk those charges for years.

Are we sure this isn’t the ‘Supreme’ court?

The bast way to stay out of prison — for those who intend to commit crimes — is to be born white, rich, and connected.

“Guilty” or “Not Guilty” beyond a reas … beyond reason.

Not the speedy trial process that’s the problem here – it’s the shyster lawyer.

I’d want to see that coin before agreeing to anything.

Money talks and bulls**t walks….

Never underestimate the power of being slick.

His prison sentence will be commuted, thus completing the revolving door of justice

I dunno, I think some folk would take a 50/50 chance.

Isn’t this pretty much the way it is anyway ?

In a mock jury trial, I’ve seen an award change by a million dollars with about that level of decision making.

How about heads, he’s not guilty and tails, “You wanna be lookin’ over your shoulder for the rest of your life?” Tony looks like he might have “friends.”

“You will be tried by a jury of your peers.”

“Forget THAT, no crooks are going to judge ME!”

In the future, all law school curricula will include the admonition “If your client is accused of a crime, delay delay delay delay until he can be elected president.”

Just to clarify, The term Speedy Trial refers to the time to get to trial, not for the length of the trial. Choosing not to be tried by a jury, will speed up the time to trial even more. The fastest way is to plead guilty.

The legal system in America is a joke stating with the rubber stamp Supreme Court and working it’s way down.

It exists only to persecute non-billionaires and “enemies of the state” (AKA Trump).

If the defense doesn’t like the coin flip, they can flip it again the next day and say they’re introducing new evidence.

Hey what happened to Danae and her experiment?

Seems like these days it’s heads he’s innocent, tails he’s not guilty. At least for some.

Only if the coin has two tails.

Trump has made a mockery of the law.

No one from here on should recognise the courts of ‘justice’.

Two headed coin.

Don’t wish too hard for what you want, ’cos then you might get it …
