The long game is prison. A hung jury buys you, I dunno, another year of freedom/jail instead of prison.

- rtkwe 3y agoAcquittal rates rise in cases retried after hung juries, the prosecution has already revealed most of their evidence and strategy in the initial trial so the defense can more effectively defend against it in the case of a retrial. Some prosecutors just drop the case instead of retrying because of this (though for high profile cases like SBF they're more likely to continue pursuing it).
- eli 3y agoYou really think that, in this case specifically, knowing the prosecution's case would make a difference?
- rtkwe 3y agoPersonally probably not but I'm not the one making the decisions, SBF is and he's been able to guile his way through life quite successfully so I don't have much trouble believing he believes he can get out of this.
