I feel sorry for any jury who has to keep track of 86 counts. The Ross Ulbricht and SBF trials look simple by comparison.

  I've seen state cases that have come close to that. They're usually mass shootings, or someone ran over 75 people with a car.

  There is a great judgment of Germany‘s highest courts from some years ago, where a criminal verdict was reversed and remanded. Almost in passing the court noted that the (professional) judges should have been more careful. Of the xx counts, some were acquitted, some convicted, some both, and some neither. Of the convictions the lower court had sometimes given prison term y in the upper part of the judgment, but prison term z lower down in the text. And so on. The higher court dryly wrote that special care has to be given when dealing with many counts.
