Trump threatens witness Gen. Milley; Trump should be revoked on release & detained pending trial [View all]
Our criminal justice system is struggling at the moment. Donald Trump is on pretrial release in four felony prosecutions - two state cases and two federal cases. As a condition of his pretrial release, Trump has been ordered not to threaten the witnesses against him. Yet, he has done just that, as the Independent reported: "Trump suggests Mark Milley should be executed in possible breach of pre-trial release conditions."
This video discusses the legal standard to detain a defendant pending trial. Given Trump's dangerous, indeed, deadly, rhetoric against witnesses, Trump's pre-trial release should be revoked and he should be detained pending trial. - Glenn Kirschner - 09/25/2023.
