Human beings are human beings, and when you get a jury that is 94% Democrat, a jury probably comprised of ‘97% Trump-haters’ as Alan Dershowitz puts it, of course, they’re going to convict Steve Bannon.
That is not a fair jury. Dershowitz goes on to say that the judge essentially left Bannon defenseless by not affording him a jury trial.
According to Dershowitz, this is unconstitutional. He believes that an overturn of Bannon’s conviction is very likely.
Date of Bannon’s sentencing
Bannon faces up to two years in prison. Sentencing will take place on Oct. 21, 2022.
