Correct me if I'm wrong but as another method, I believe he just needs one fuckstick on each jury to force a mistrial which would push everything past the election, feed into the "it's all political" narrative, and hand him what will become the emperor's throne. And there is currently no shortage of fucksticks.
how do they even find jurors for this anyway? you'd have to be blind and deaf in order to not be aware of what's going on.
I just read a thing on the subject https://news.northeastern.edu/2017/07/03/how-do-lawyers-handle-jury-selection-with-high-profile-clients-like-shkreli-or-cosby/
Basically the selection process (voir dire) is more like an interview than what you'd see in your low level petit courts where they just ask questions to the room. They focus less on familiarity with the case and more on impartiality and dedication to rule of law. I'm sure they go through hundreds.
