The thing is, this case shouldn't even be in this court, it should be in the commercial division, because, it deals with real estate. LJ, somehow, got this case in the civil court, instead. It shouldn't even have been brought, in the first place, but, when you have other lefties, covering your back, you can do anything.
There’s a major problem with Letitia James’s case (among many):
<><>the govt certified tax assessor’s office accepted and adopted Trump’s property values.
<><>”If” they were inflated, it means he’s paying higher property taxes to the govt,
<><>but whether the figures were validated or not, the govt tax assessor accepted them unconditionally
<><>Trump’s figures were entered into official documents of record
<><>that means the Government accepted Trump’s figures without question
<><>Trump’s figures were certified by the govt taxing Trump accordingly.
If James wants to assert fraudulent behavior, she’s going to
have to take on the NY city tax assessor to explain the
govt’s unconditional acceptance of Trump’s figures.
Can’t let pesky details like that get in the way.
I have not followed this case, super closely, however, it is clear that judge is a partisan hack, and interjecting his personal opinions into the case.
I am not familiar with legal implications of a verdict in a civil trial. Are you saying whatever the lower court decides is the final decision? If true, that sucks.
The bottom line for me is what was the appraised value for property taxes?
If it’s inflated don’t they owe Trump a refund?
If they ever discover a medical cure for TDS, they should put it in the water supply.

Finally someone describes the bitch accurately.
“There are no victims, no complainants, except for an intrusive DOJ . How do they live with themselves?”
OPM...
They’re spending other people’s money.
You can appeal a civil verdict. Generally, the party appealing would have to post a security bond. In the case of NY, the appeal would go before the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. I think that all of the justices in the First Department (NYC) were appointed by Democrats. Ugh. My experience is that the law is whatever the liberal judges say it is without deference to stare decisis (precedent).
Trump is being sued civilly. This isn’t a criminal case.
Article III Section 1:
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party; to Controversies between two or more States; between a State and Citizens of another State; between Citizens of different States; between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.Article III Section 1:
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
"Cases in Law" refers to 6th amendment trials.
"Cases in Equity" refers to 7th amendment trials.
In both 6th and 7th amendment cases, the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction.

I may be mistaken, but isn't Trump already convicted and this is the sentencing "trial".?

Civil cases are heard by SCOTUS all the time.
I didn’t say they weren’t. The usual path for a state civil case is for the case to work its way through the state appellate courts.
The person you were replying to was probably working on the assumption that all the inferior courts would rubber-stamp an adverse decision for Trump. I don’t think it will get past Albany.
Again, the case against Trump in New York is a state case. The Supreme Court of the United States hears three type of cases: 1) original jurisdiction, 2) Appeals from federal courts 3) Appeals from the highest state courts.
The Trump appeal would first be heard by the first district Appellate Division of the NY Supreme Court.
It’s the state of NY, not DOJ.
