It this generation’s OJ trial
Except OJ didn’t have rabid, braindead supporters waiting to cause violence after a conviction.
Short memory; there were protests and violence when he was acquitted. I can’t blame you for not remembering it after almost 30 years; chances are you probably weren’t born. But OJ had a lot of rabid, brain dead supporters, and he had a lot of rabid, brain dead opponents. And that was for a single guy (allegedly? He was found not guilty) murdering his wife, not a rich dude trying to subvert democracy.
It was an insane trial through and through.
