The verdict is in, the city of Tallahassee is irredeemably corrupt throughout. Even the citizenry doesn’t know right from wrong.

The prosecutors vow to retry the other charges which are the much more serious charges that could add up to over 300 years in prison. The charge that the two defendants were acquitted of today had a 5-year maximum.

Don’t know why anyone would be celebrating as the retrial is on the horizon for the very serious charges.

And just like that, Gillum avoids an orange suit.
What a travesty of justice!

But one I absolutely expected in this corrupt town.

Folks, we’ve been OJ’ed.

Jack, you are spot on.

Feds, go F yourselves for Monkeying This Up.

The teen faces two counts of Attempted Second Degree Murder………… No charges for the illegal GUN? It is against the LAW for Teens to have GUNS.

The Government calls Bill that permanent bans mask and COVID-19 vaccine mandates a “big government” bill? You ARE the Government.

It’s not about the law. Having witnessed most of the Gillum/Hicks trial, I’ve decided, that if ever guilty …I want a jury. Easy to identify and choose the needy juror that will break from the herd and come to my defense .
Early on, a few jurors had stopped taking notes – the facts won’t matter anyway, because after the defense questioned the agents of various nonprofits that donated to Gillum’s machine (none of them had an issue with how their money was spent.) Actually said in court, “no harm-no foul .”
So- it looks like nothing to see here. Whats’ the big deal about wire fraud anyway ?
This case was settled in the picking the fury. My apologies to the jurors – who took notes and stood their ground.

Regarding Gillum’s attorney wanting the juror retained, it’s a numbers game.

The length of these deliberations suggest that we may be dealing with a hung jury. Losing a juror may mean that the potentially lone holdout is removed.

It’s easy to see why both sides reacted as they did.
