In New York, with New York juries, it is the right move by President Trump and his legal team, it will speed up the trial, and once James loses the case, allow President Trump to get back to campaigning.

Much easier to appeal a bench verdict. A jury would have convicted him anyhow.

Why have a jury of New Yorkers? It’s going to be fun watching those New Yorkers paying 3/4th of their paychecks to make up for the billionaires who will be flocking out of NYC as fast as they can.

I really wish Trump had moved his headquarters out of New York while he was still President .

Judge, jury. Won’t matter. And since this isn’t “beyond a reasonable doubt” or unanimous, wouldn’t change anything.

I think they did this because this politics. They will lose the case and there should be little doubt about that. Jury in New York or Rat Puke Judge. Losing to a “jury of your peers” makes it easier for leftist to make it look legitimate. Losing to A Rat Puke leftist judge who is a pure hack allows Trump to make the case that the judge is a hack. This is politics. The justice system has been destroyed.

What will happen is the judge will rule against Trump, then it will go up to the next level or beyond, and when it is overturned, that judge will be disbarred and removed from office for the fact that the judge is/was NOT IMPARTIAL.

That is the end goal here IMO.

Why did he say he wasn’t allowed to have a jury?

Who is the injured party in this? Doesn’t seem like there is one.

In a civil case, the parties all have the right to request a jury; the only reason a trial would proceed without one is if both sides decline to demand one.

This seems totally backwards to me.

Looking at the form, there are two boxes: one labeled "Trial By Jury Demanded" and one labeled "Trial No Jury." Constitutionally, a trial by jury is a right that can be waived, not waived unless demanded. I know that the 7th amendment is not incorporated into the states, but the NY State Constitution has rules for trials by jury and no jury.

What happens if neither box is checked? Shouldn't the default be a trial by jury, as this is the bedrock principle our constitutional republic?

Some people are saying this was a deliberate Trump action, but if that was really true, why would Trump be complaining that he did not get a jury trial?

I personally suspect that this is yet another screw up by his bimbo attorney Alina Hubba Hubba.

Trump cannot get a fair trial anywhere in these Democrat states.

Trump knows the whole thing will get struck down in appellate court.

Wonder if it’s going to be a take down for Letitia James for her bogus set up?.
