Anons wave their hands and punt about the number of defendants per indictment. Thinking it through here to solidify our speculations a bit.
It would make sense to have each case represent a set of factual circumstances plus a collection of defendants that can be charged under RICO for collaboration in those factual circumstances.
The indictments WILL be multiple defendants, in some cases many.
It may be reasonable to think that there are >40,000 sets of facts each resulting in a case that can be tried.
Normally defendants' attorneys will try to sever their case from others, claiming they need to for a "fair trial". But the justice system needs the trials to happen rapidly. I think military judges in the tribunals will not allow cases to be severed, and can claim they need to be tried together in the interest of justice and avoidance of delay.
Typically facts entered into the record on one case can be brought into evidence in subsequent cases with different defendants? In this situation I do not expect that to happen. Trying them sequentially that way would take far too long.
It is reasonable to believe that the 40,000+ sealed cases represent at least 40,000 specific sets of facts.
Not a lawfag. Lawfags what do you think? Is this a reasonable thought process?
