Should Navarro ask for a mistrial?

Navarro's right to a fair trial may have been compromised by the fact that the defendant reportedly stood and snickered and smirked and made hand gestures throughout closing arguments, which might have prejudiced the jury against him

Peter wants to hang on to the coat tails of the Tangerine Fuhrer because they think trDump's destiny is to place American Democracy in a death grip and asphyxiate it - so that a Christian Theocracy based on Fascism can inevitably take over and permanently replace it.

Christian Dominionists rejoice,... the savior and Messiah has arrived in the body of DJT.

his arrogance -- and it may tell us something about many of the rest of these people

The "mistrial request" is my own fictitious proposal here -- because, of course, nobody gets to argue their own behavior prejudiced the jury against them so they deserve a new trial
