That's a nice sentiment but, seriously, if you were Bernie would you bet your freedom on a jury choosing to make an objective decision (assuming you
were innocent, of course) and not just deciding to stick it to the evil, arrogant, money-grubbing little tosspot out of spite?
To be clear, I'm not saying that's
my opinion of Bernie (I happen to think he talks a lot of sense most of the time) but if that's the way the jurors feel about him (or rich folks in general), you never know what they'll do out of spite, regardless of the facts.
Hell, if the jury was made up of average DS members they'd probably want to see him shot, stabbed, burned at the stake and then salt the ground where he was buried just for being filthy-rich, regardless of whether he did it or not.
