Yeah . . . it wasn't as simple as merely checking a box . . . as is being reported and repeated.
Or a simple "request" for a trial, by jury.
Prosecution under this statute does not include the absolute right to trial by jury. It was a brilliant and strategic move (using this statute) to bring charges against him . . . and legally deny him of this right.
Again . . . another example of the "Economy of Truth" syndrome when reporting (spinning) on Trump.
Nice try.
