The good news is that his next hearing isn’t until Dec 4. Hopefully th GA case passes this one to trial.
Question, seems that the misdemeanor charges are far more solid than the felonies. Do we know if the SOL has actually passed on the misdemeanor level? Heard something that between Trump leaving the state and a delay put up by Cuomo on the SOL timelines making it murky? And can the jury go with a misdemeanor if they don’t see the mitigating factor?
So what’s the consensus? Is this really a felony case? ABC News is less than impressed. They say nothing new and asking why is it just coming out now.
/Jim Mora voice Consensus!? Consensus!!? People just got this thing and you want the legal analysis completed? This isn't fast food law here, lol!
This reminded me of the old joke about a man confessing to a non existent affair in order to conceal the fact that he had been golfing.
34 “accounting errors” that just happen to cover up shady payoffs seems odd, though, doesn’t it… almost seems … what’s the word I’m looking for…. Intentional?
Although I have no basis to doubt that, I do. Prison is for criminals, not SSA's.....at least I hope so. Segregate the bum, have the SS train prison guards, and then have them watch over the rotund inmate.
Eric and Jr have nothing outside of daddy's shadow. Ivanka has other interests and, at the moment, a wealthy husband but it appears that relationship may be another casualty of the orange one as Kushner is trying to get away from him now that he has grifted off of him as much as possible.
A jury can always convict of the lesser included offenses they are provided with to chose from In Florida (guessing NY is similar) the lawyers and judge have a charge conference after the close of evidence, but prior to final arguments. The Florida Supreme Court has promulgated standard jury instructions. Some general ones are read in every case, some are crime specific. There are some lesser include offenses that are read every time a particular crime is charged, others depend on the facts. Each party presents their proposed jury instructions and the judge ultimately decides which ones are read. Discretion is generally exercised in favor of the defendant. The SOL issue will be hotly litigated. It will come down to what "continuously absent from the state of New York" means. I think they are solid on the felonies. At the press conference the DA indicated these falsified records were not only to help his presidential bid, but also to avoid paying taxes, including NY taxes. The later, in particular, is going to be hard to argue against.
Wow even CNN calling this indictment “underwhelming” I’m far from a lawyer but shouldn’t an indictment actually state which law was broken?
Didn't see that. For those who want to read it: https://www.manhattanda.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Donald-J.-Trump-SOF.pdf
Tell us you are not a lawyer without telling us you are not a lawyer. Oh wait... you told us you are not a lawyer... nevermind.
