    There’s a normal pattern to how courts work and if a court deviates from that pattern it opens up another avenue for the defense to request a mistrial.

    I get that everyone wants the max penalty straight off the jump when it comes to Trump but its far more important that it be done correctly in order to minimize future problems.
