Here are more specific terms:
Majority of jurors for conviction, you get off USMB for one month..
Majority of jurors for aquital, I get off USMB for one month.
Equal split is a draw, no one gets off the board.
I respect and appreciate the offer, I’m a sporting man. I have to decline but I’ll tell you my reasons.
Democrats have started doubting that there will be a conviction, but previously they have been a full celebration, gloating in advance about Trump going to jail. Now that the case is over, they see that the prosecution has presented no evidence of any particular crime. But, they won’t admit it.
I said all along that this prosecution is illegitimate. The goal was never to get a conviction, the goal was to have the trial in order to interfere with the election.
Prosecutors are not supposed to try a case with no chance of winning. You and I, a couple of laypersons, can see that the most likely result is a hung jury. The prosecution knew it to push the case anyway. that was unethical. The prosecution relied on the demographics of the jury to get at least some guilty votes no matter how weak their case was. That, also, was unethical.
So, I want somebody to say that I’m wrong, that the case was real and that there will be a conviction, and that they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.
The second reason is that I’m not predicting a majority of jurors voting to acquit. No jury result would surprise me, other than a unanimous vote, either way.
I guess there is a third reason: we won’t know the count of the jury vote except from the media. I don’t believe that they officially announce the numbers. I’m not willing to rely on the media word for a month off the board. If that happened, you would feel cheated because I’m guessing you believe the media is reliable.
So, again, I respectfully decline. However, since you are a fellow sporting person, I will no longer Mention your unwillingness to wager on a conviction.
