JOE DI GENOVA (GUEST): Well, as you know, Rob, I was on this show and predicted it was going to be a guilty verdict. There wasn't any doubt - the nature of the indictment, the conduct of the judge, the jury instructions, the jurors themselves, the pool, the failure to move it out of Manhattan, this was a foregone conclusion. I hope that the people of New York who are responsible for electing these judges and the prosecutor are happy. They've created a monstrosity. This trial was a legal obscenity. And the ramifications of it are unknown at this point. And while Judge Merchan can tell the jurors that they can go out and talk to anybody they want to about this, I think the jurors should be very careful. This is a very volatile situation. The country, I think, is not going to like this result because I think they view it as fundamentally unfair, flawed and corrupt from the beginning. This is not a good day for the rule of law in the United States because this was a travesty.
