What scares me is that it appears that some here would not know when a "show trial" is occurring. At first I simply expressed frustration over a trial that should not have been a civil trial, but given the responses to the concept of a "show trial" it is interesting. Now you state that I don't understand, there are different types of "show trials" - I described one type previously - here is another type - During the Jim Crow era in this country, there were often trials of KKK members - these were "show trials" where everyone knew a not guilty verdict would be obtained. Everyone knew it. Were those not "show trials"?
