re: Should Trump pull an EWE and not offer a defense?

My Father was a defendent in that EWE trial. The move to not present a defense, which almost killed my mother, as it was a RICO prosecution and we would have been left with basically the clothes on our backs, and my Father in prison for 250 years, was as much about it being a second trial with an 11-1 not guilty vote in the first, as it was about EWE being a bigger than life figure to the jury...
In hindsight, the move as brilliant. One, because it worked, and two because the jury was already exhausted of months of complicated business data that I don't think they fully understood.
I am not sure the Trump trial is similar enough in "scope" to do this.....building hospitals and nursing homes versus paying off gold digging porn stars to shut up.
Similar charismatic defendents, not similar crime content.
