Lawyer opens defense of US Sen. Bob Menendez in his corruption trial by blaming his wife
A lawyer for U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is blaming the politician’s wife for his legal problems. Avi Weitzman told a jury at the start of Menendez's corruption trial on Wednesday that the Democrat wasn’t aware his spouse had taken gifts from a trio of businessmen.
Wait how is it that this asshole is already on trial? He deserves it, but wow it moved awfully fast compared to some other malfeasance I can think of.
That (R) really is an immunity card.
Oh for sure, a Republican probably wouldn't have even got investigated for the stuff Menendez did. His corrupt ass can go right to jail, but that (R) immunity card is a way bigger problem for our country than anything he did.
Seems like a solid plan. I see no way this could back fire, none at all.
I think there was a Law & Order episode where the defense essentially said they should be tried separately, but at the same time in different court rooms.
And the idea was that the defense made the facts show that the spouse did the crimes. They both got non-guilty verdicts because there was enough reasonable doubt.
I know L&O is fiction but I have to imagine someone has tried this and succeeded.

I'd say it's more likely than you think, many L&O episodes take inspiration from real life cases.
Dont feel bad for her. She is total POS. I hope they eat each other.
“Your honor, the defendant would like to request stay in a holding cell for the remainder of the trial.”
It's a good thing a husband and wife can't be tried for the same crime.
I don't think that's a thing dad.
Is this a meme or something? I don't get the joke
It's a joke from Arrested Development
