Of course, someone else could ask why the prosecution did not call Keith Schiller? Either way, someone on the the jury could be wondering …
The other side of the sign is taunting the lead defense attorney for not putting Trump’s bodyguard on the witness list.
“Why Won’t Blanche Call Schiller?”
This protester is paying close attention to the case.
