I believe on our justice system and I would be happy to be part of it, treat that person like any other defendant.

My hangup would be in how the case, i.e. the lawyers, present it. If the case is about fraud (which it is), I could be impartial. If it's presented as "hush money," then hell no, I would say hang the lawyers and the media. And him.
