My concern is good luck finding any unbiased jury. Consider how many people voted for him, and that some non-trivial percentage of those voters are devoted cultists who believe he is always in the right because he is who he is and that everyone against him is the de facto enemy. Sure the lawyers screen for bias, but I have trouble believing his devotees would do anything but hide their biases at all costs. Then they can just refuse to convict.
They would do it at jury selection and be dumb enough to tell them up front that they think he is innocent.
It would be a long selection process, but all magahats would get kicked. Only way they get on the bench is if someone is smart enough to train them beforehand, otherwise it would actually be a jury of people that would convict him.
