    I’m no lawyer. Here’s a question. Would the federal case a jury trial?

    I’m trying to figure out if there’s an advantage to futzing the state case. Corporate America wants this man’s blood.

      I am not United Statesian and it feels like they change the rules every time I blink, but I think a trial with a death sentence as a possible outcome does require a jury. And if I am wrong, some vulgar good samaritan of the Internet will swoop in to politely call me a pig fucker.
