Former federal prosecutor Toobin dismissed jury nullification playing a role in Trump's trial, skeptical of jurors ignoring evidence to acquit. Criminal defense attorney Aidala raised this potential, highlighting the notion of 'So what?' considering common practices.
Aidala suggested the defense might argue for jury nullification based on the unimportance of the alleged crimes compared to common practices. Toobin expressed disbelief at the idea of jurors disregarding perceived guilt for political reasons in such a high-profile case.
Aidala speculated about potential jurors annoyed by Trump's trial process affecting his political activities, hinting at the influence such sentiments could have on a jury's decision. Toobin challenged the plausibility of jurors disregarding evidence in favor of political motives.
