But don't juries sometimes recommend a sentence as well?

Re: Trump Convicted

I think it might be worthy to note again that the jury did not need to determine whether Trump is getting fair treatment as compared with others who do similar crimes. All they needed to do was determine innocent or guilty. The same will be true with Hunter Biden. I'm curious though whether there ar...

For example, a Libertarian, may bring a case against either a Republican or a Democrat, that he wouldn't bring against on...
