[Star wars]Mace windu agrees to let Palpatine stand trial, how would this play out?

Asuming Palpatine also agrees and doesn't just electrocute anything that moves.

Mace says quite clearly "He has control of the senate and of the courts" and Palpatine even egotistically though correctly states "I am the senate" so basically it would be a sham of a trail that would look like the Jedi persecuting the Chancellor and nothing would come of it. 

However it was more beneficial for him to resist as A) he convinces Anakin to switch sides, B) use the "assassination" attempt to wipe out the Jedi and C) show that the senates checks on everything was tenuous at best and they needed a strong emperor to defend their freedom.
