100%. Yesterday, I had a flood of messages from people saying, “It’s no big deal. She’ll beat it in court.” Most folks have no idea how devastating this process can be. I once defended someone wrongfully charged with nine felonies. He was innocent. Just like these cases I believe politics was involved. If convicted, he faced 12 to 20 years behind bars. The entire case was a pressure cooker. Every day felt like standing on the edge of a cliff. When the jury finally returned “not guilty” on all charges, the relief for my client and yours truly was indescribable. But the truth is, even innocence doesn’t spare you from the chaos, fear, and emotional wreckage of being accused.
I'm sorry you had to go through all the probate litigation, Lori. Probate court is notorious for being slow and inefficient. Imagine the additional stress of high-stakes criminal cases where jail or prison is a possible outcome. In this case, with these defendants, it just shouldn't be happening (based on the reporting). The felon in the Oval Office would probably have more felony convictions on his rap sheet and possible might even be in jail right now if the Democrats had kept the White House.
This is all about retribution. That fuels Trump.
