Charles Dickens started out "A Tale of Two Cities" with "It was the worst of times, it was the best of times." Well we now have "A Tale of Two Trials," starring Donald Trump and Harvey Weinstein. Let's just call it the worst of times.Trump’s “trial” is bizarre. The judge really isn’t a judge, he can be overruled by the senators on any ruling. How about witnesses, the stars of any other proceeding? That’s up in the air. As for the jurors, they aren’t expected to be unbiased, they’re free to preach and prejudge. By contrast, the Harvey Weinstein trial jurors get threatened with jail time for tweeting about the experience. This week's episode of "Two Many Lawyers" tackles the nuts and bolts of both trials. You may think you know how they’ll turn out -- but you could be in for some big surprises.
