Are you anticipating a popcorn shortage?

Former President Donald Trump's criminal indictment in Georgia may be televised!

If you (as an American citizen and victim of the crime) want the federal trial to be televised as well, consider sending the following to your representatives:

Dear _____________ (elected official),

In Count 4 of his most recent indictment, Donald Trump is charged with victimizing the American voters by conspiring to deprive us of our right to vote. As crime victims, the American people have a right "not to be excluded" from Trump's trial, which will be held in Washington, DC. I am asserting my rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act, 18 US Code section 3771(a)(3), not to be excluded from the trial. Given that the courtroom has a limited capacity, if the trial is not televised, I will be excluded from the courtroom in violation of my federal legal statutory rights. Accordingly, I respectfully request that you do everything in your power to ensure that my legal right to attend Donald Trump's trial is not violated.

Sincerely, your name

It won't be televised. Television coverage of Federal trials is prohibited by Rule 53. Come on guys, you know this stuff already.

The argument is that the whole country is named as a victim of the crime, and victims have a right to be in the courtroom. Since it's a little impractical to have a courtroom that sits millions (and you wouldn't be able to hear at the back), TV is the obvious compromise.

Thanks for MHO!

You're welcome. I wonder if the people's (victim's) right not to be excluded from the court room trumps https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_53

It's a good letter, but please correct the grammar.

Ooh! It's copied from a lawyer's youtube video.

No doubt it will be a spectacle, for which the fans (and "fans") would pay to attend. But for my part, I have had it listening to Mr. Trump's whining and snarling speeches full of drama, lies and grievances. Enough is enough. I will read the summaries on CNN.

I doubt you'll hear him say a word. His lawyers would be totally incompetent if they let him take the stand because everybody knows he will lie and perjure himself.

[DarkLegacy]

Yes i do. i would love to watch his trial

[Sasahara]

No, I’m not. I don’t eat popcorn.

[Juxtapose]

Nah, more like an ammo shortage.

[goaded]

Ah, yes, the Republican desire for violence above the rule of law. Just like Matt Gaetz explicitly said while Donald Trump nodded.

[Juxtapose]

People buy more ammo in times of chaos. That's not really unusual.

Not in sane countries.
