Will Trump Be Detained Pending Trial?

from Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Donald Trump has four serious felony prosecutions pending against him. Yet, he continues to say and post things that put prosecutors, judges, witnesses and jurors in harm's way. The legal test for whether someone should be detained pending trial is as follows: is there clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is either a flight risk or is a danger to the community? The evidence clearly establishes that Trump is a danger to the community. Glenn says he hopes that the judges soon apply the law and neutralize the ongoing, demonstrated danger that is Donald Trump. Then, Judge Scott McAfee, the judge presiding over the Georgia state RICO trial involving Donald Trump and 18 other defendants, has said that the proceedings will be televised and live-streamed. Glenn says this is an important development that will help reduce the ability of Trump and his co-defendants like Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Clark and others, as well as their lawyers, from being able to continue to infect the public with their disinformation, propaganda and lies about the 2020 election being stolen.For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise, please visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerAnd check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comAlso follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
