I was fortunate to see them with and without Lowell George. One good thing about growing up in L.A.

He is getting booked today, but when do him and the rest show up in court for a plea, when is the arraignment? That is when we will see Trump on TV, when he pleads. Will Willis bring up his many transgressions while out on release already?
Cameras and codefendants: Why Trump's Georgia arraignment will be most dramatic
Former President Trump's upcoming arraignment in the Georgia election case could be the biggest public spectacle yet in his web of legal challenges.
The big picture: The 2024 GOP frontrunner is facing his fourth indictment in four months, but this time around he's expected to have a mugshot taken, and it could be the only trial in which court proceedings are televised.
Where it stands: Trump and the 18 others charged alongside him in the case have until noon Friday, Aug. 25, to surrender. Several have already done so, and Trump said he intends to appear at the Fulton County jail on Thursday.
Zoom in: The Georgia case is full of firsts for Trump.
1. It could be the first time Trump gets his mugshot taken, after avoiding it in his three other cases.
The local sheriff's office in Fulton County, Georgia says it expects to book all 19 of those indicted on the election-related charges — including Trump — at its detention center in Atlanta.
The rough and overcrowded jail has been plagued with reports of dangerous conditions and detainee deaths.
2. The Georgia trial is the first one that could be televised.
State law requires cameras be allowed — with a judge's approval — during judicial proceedings as a means of transparency.
The judge would have to be given a compelling reason to bar cameras.
Proceedings in Trump's three other cases have been closed to the public as federal and New York courts are averse to televising criminal proceedings.
3. Trump could be tried alongside other alleged co-conspirators.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said after announcing the charges earlier this week that she intends to try all 19 of the defendants together.
They include former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani — who once championed the law he's being charged with — and former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows.
Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment in the Jan. 6 case included six unnamed alleged co-conspirators, but did not charge them alongside Trump.
4. The Georgia case also marks the first time a former U.S. president has been charged with an offense that's typically associated with mobsters.
Willis, known to be a RICO expert, has charged all the defendants with racketeering, which is used to tackle crimes including fraud, corruption and conspiracy.
A person convicted under the act faces a maximum prison term of 20 years or a fine of up to $250,000.
What he's saying: Trump denies the charges against him, and has repeatedly accused authorities and prosecutors in the various cases of using unnecessary tactics, such as "raiding" Mar-a-Lago in the classified documents case.
Still, Trump has also leaned into the drama surrounding his legal proceedings at times. For example, his campaign started selling fake mugshot merchandise long before he was actually summoned to take one.

Trump’s Georgia arraignment expected to be televised, Fulton County judge says

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Tuesday granted a request from four local television stations to bring in live cameras and other recording devices in his courtroom through Sept. 8.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) is seeking to hold the arraignments for all the defendants the week following Labor Day, which would fall within that window. If the timeline is delayed, however, McAfee’s order would expire.
McAfee’s order does not indicate whether cameras will be allowed during a trial or any other future proceedings in the case.

So if he fucks up in the next couple of weeks he could be held pre arraignment and not just pretrial.... I seem to recall reading that this judge generally favored cameras in the court and would have to give reasons why they shouldn't be in this particular case. I figure everything will be on TV, the TV networks will be going nuts on him if he didn't!Trump’s Georgia arraignment expected to be televised, Fulton County judge says

Bah humbug. They didn’t weigh defendant.

I think they will be careful to follow proper procedures and collect accurate data with Trump, knowing the level of scrutiny that will happen and others checking the data in other bookings etc. I'd tell him to step out of his shoes and take his jacket off before weighing him and measuring his height. He wears lifts in his shoes and has trouble going down ramps because of them. Most women will tell you walking down a ramp in a pair of pumps is a bitch!

My read of the article suggests they didn’t take that care.

I need to see him without his shirt for an accurate reading. I weigh people all day, I could nail it to 10 lbs or less.

I put him at 5'9 or 5'10" and 300lbs. His weight seems to fluctuate with stress and lately he's been under a lot of it. He wears lifts in his shoes which is why he has trouble with ramps, it's same as with high heels walking down a ramp.
