Tommy and Strict Scrutiny’s Melissa Murray break down the range of potential outcomes, from conviction to full acquittal to a hung jury. Plus: Robert De Niro mixes it up with protestors outside the courthouse, and Justice Alito formally refuses to recuse himself over what he says is his wife’s constitutionally guaranteed freedom to fly insurrectionist flags.
