We are now going to be seeing the nationalization of something like the Salem Witch Trials.
Mark my words.
Let's take a far fetched example:
Professor Kaiser, a Massacuhsetts resident, his alleged Hitler Obama post comparison.
He says it was a forgery. I agree. (Were I on his jury, I would certainly walk him, but I would never be allowed to serve... being neither a resident of Massachusetts, nor likely to survive voir dire examination.)
What would a Massachusetts jury do, if Obama's wife later, say 5 years from now, claimed he had just read it, and then (for whatever reasons) committed suicide?
Whether it was a fake is a question of fact for a trier of fact. He says it was a forgery, that's his story and he is sticking to it, aside from any much more important questions of whether such a thing could ever have anything causally to do with a hypothetical Obama suicide in the future.
Let's put it this way, Professor Kaiser would not want to waive his right to a jury trial, bad as that might turn out to be, and go before a radical Republican member, say a neo McCarthyite member, of the bench in Massachusetts...
