@Kinnison I knew he was guilty, he got away in 2018 with a hung jury. Andy Kim will make a great JR Senator to Cory Booker.

Yes He will! What a colossal waste of court time and money. The arse.
@Kinnison Thank you, baby jesus
GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE!

All rise!
Judge Sidney H. Stein: Please be seated in the court room. We have a note from 12:33 pm, We have a verdict. I want no outbursts of any sort. The quiet should reflect the solemnity of the occasion.
