Episode notes
New York's Rigged Court System
- The New York Southern District court is effectively rigged with nearly 100% conviction rate regardless of evidence.
- Trevor Milton describes it as impossible to get a fair trial there, no matter your wealth or innocence.
Short Sellers' Illegal Collusion
- Short sellers collaborated with prosecutors to create false allegations against Trevor Milton.
- Witnesses were paid to fabricate stories, skewing evidence to destroy Nikola's value and Milton's reputation.
Defendants Should Choose Venue
- A defendant should have the constitutional right to choose the venue of their trial to ensure a jury of their peers.
- This would prevent prosecutorial trophy hunting and reduce wrongful indictments significantly.
