VARGO, MARK
- Abstract
The author tackles the factors considered in the impeachment trial of South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg for malfeasance and misdemeanor. He discusses the habits and tropes of a jury trial including a blank slate of jurors, having an opinion or political agendas before the trial starts, and overcoming the presumption of innocence. He explains the reframing of impeachment in terms used when the constitution was being framed, as well as the different rhetorical styles of the speakers.
