Judge in Trump Trial Instructs Jury that evidence isn't necessary

[BabylonBee] NEW YORK, NY — As the criminal trial involving former President Donald Trump winds to a close, the presiding judge instructed jurors that they don't have to believe Trump is guilty to convict him.

The reminder from Judge Juan Merchan was issued to the jury as closing arguments began, with the judge clarifying that Trump doesn't necessarily have to be guilty of a crime in order for the jury to find Trump guilty of a crime.

"Don't get hung up on whether or not he's guilty' of anything," Judge Merchan instructed jurors. "Words like guilty' or innocent' or evidence' are really just for show, anyway. The important thing is that you listen to the closing arguments with an open mind and an unwavering commitment to handing down a guilty verdict.

#3 Bee or Not Bee? We need a ruling from the judges. On one hand, the article is genuine Bee material. On the other, the judge has issued instructions that all the jurors can vote "guilty" without needing to agree on the particular crime.

Questions:
Has the Bee found a way to collapse the quantum probability waveform into their particular satirical version of reality?
Can we get them to wish the Biden Administration out into the cornfield?
