Yes, I agree we must all simply wait and see what happens with these trials (but I’m not optimistic…) (I recall, many years ago, reading about a certain Show Trial — the defendant was absolutely confident that he would be found not guilty; he had “the proof”; he had the evidence; he knew he simply couldn’t be convicted of the crime for which he was accused…at the end of the proceedings, he was led off to be executed. As a wiki article notes, the purpose of a show trial is not to establish “justice” — or reassert some principle of justice — rather they’re designed to bring about retributive “justice” against the accused…)
