Worrying about the jury should be the least of her concerns at this point. If she does not have the resources (millions) to mount a vigorous defence it does not matter. And even if she does have the money, the prosecution will try to take it away from her via asset freezes, large bails, etc. Awhile in jail, she won't be able to work effectively with limited phone calls and monitored attorney visits.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoJuries are a double-edged sword: they can be the end of you or your only hope. Plenty of people go free in trials despite odds against them. Certain things you do upon encountering the police can greatly increase or decrease your odds of winning in court. It's imperative to behave in a way that minimizes risk immediately and long-term. Fleeing a country when a cop merely asks you to talk to them will look guilty to almost every judge or jury out there. There's a small subset you can convince given circumstances but this is a big no-no in general. Regarding the rest, that might happen, it might not happen, and yet people still get off with decent attorneys. Again, police investigations involve lots of probability. You play the odds to your benefit. If you're worried about that stuff, then leave America for some country that has no problems in its judicial proceedings plus whatever freedoms and economic opportunities you need. Do it now. Don't wait till a FBI agent is interested in you or you're on their List.
