LOL
Who told them this was a good idea? Are they so uncertain of their case that they're bringing for over a hundred witnesses, in case tons of their testimonies fall through?
Maybe there are 150 witnesses because 150 people witnessed the crimes of the 19 people on trial. Just a thought.
My guess is that they have a sequence of events they want to prove took place, and they also want to prove that Trump knew what he was doing was wrong at each step. So maybe the first thing is that there was a plan in advance to subvert the election, and they get testimony from a few different people who were at a meeting about it, another couple people who were on an email discussion, and someone who Trump spoke to personally. Do that kind of thing for every step in a long chain, and it can add up. But any weakness in the chain could be grounds for reasonable doubt, so they have to make sure it's all solid.
I'm curious, what country do you live in?
You obviously have no idea how the court system in the US works.
1 person says you did a crime vs. 150 people saying you did a crime.
Which would you rather defend against?
Wait... You think MORE witnesses mean less guilty?! ... bahahahaha holy shit, you retards are truly beyond any ability for logic... Literally, a rock is smarter than you.
No wonder he thinks he could shoot someone on Main St. and you morons would think he's innocent if MORE witnesses mean less guilty. Again, you are literally too stupid to properly parse reality. Seek help. Preferably a conservatorship, because you are clearly too dumb to take care of yourself.
LMAO. Wishful thinking, indeed.
