MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow said the jury should be thanked and protected during her network’s coverage of former President Donald Trump being found guilty on all counts in a unanimous decision by a Manhattan jury in his business record trial.
Maddow said, “Listen, this is unanimous on all counts. This is a definitive and this is an irreversible verdict. He can appeal. I’m sure he will appeal. But this is everything that the prosecution asked for, from a jury that by all counts took this thing very, very seriously. We counted the deliberation hours down here. The test here for us, as a country, is not about what happens on appeal. And is not about what happens on sentencing.
She added, “We know what it is to put a former president on trial and see that trial to fruition. That is something that was hypothetical before we ever had this guy as a former president. But now, we have lived through it, and we know that the court process can work. A defendant who is a former president can be tried. Again, the appeals process will go on. The sentencing process will go on and those will all be pressure points.
