    When you watch CNN or MSNBC, you generally see an account of a trial that never took place. They spin the events so much that reality is totally distorted.

    The media lies in their reporting, but not me! I’m telling the truth!

    There is absolutely no good reason why a trial of this importance, or any trial, should not be televised live and in real time. Allowing the public to see their courts in action is the best guarantee of fairness.

    The jury is anonymous and has been told not to reveal their identities because they could be put into danger by Trump fanatics. Trials don’t need vigilante justice. The trial already has a jury and a judge. They are the deciders of the outcome. If trump doesnt like the outcome he can appeal to different judges who will review to see if errors in process and judgment were made. That’s how the law works. Trump doesn’t get special rules.
