Second, The NY Supreme Court would not have bothered contacting Merchan without having first verified the relationship of the poster and the juror, AND verifying there was contact between the two before the post.
The verdict will be tossed and I don't see Merchan getting another bite at the apple in time to get a conviction before the election.
How can you seat a jury that can pretend they haven't been tainted by pre-trial publicity?
New York Court System
The New York court system has three levels: Trial courts - including the Supreme Courts (unlike in the federal system), the Appellate Divisions of the Supreme Court, and the Court of Appeals, which is the court of last resort (similar to the Supreme Court in the federal system).

The NY “Supreme” Court is not the highest Ct in NY. Just want to clarify that.
If you’re going to gag the defendant, the jury should be gagged too by being sequestered the whole trial.
Great post!

Is there a copy of the correspondence from the NY Supreme Court about this?
What really surprised me about the actions of NY v Trump is that Trump. with over 60 years of running construction projects in NY, employing thousands of people, with a network of connections miles long couldn’t get out of this? It is almost as if he set this up so he could be the victim of governmental persecution. Leveraging that with the black community in NYC they find a kindred spirit and sympathetic figure in Trump.
