Could any of the jurors sue Merchan to be allowed to hear this testimony?
I hope so.
“Could any of the jurors sue Merchan to be allowed to hear this testimony?”
In a word, no.
I’ve heard and reposted this before here, but I believe judges enjoy broad immunity from civil lawsuits thus cannot be sued for any reason ever. Their decisions can be overturned upon appeal much later but none of that seems to occur in a timely manner. And. And. Trump would have to go through layers of NY Appellate courts in his appeal process first, courts that have been previously hostile to him before and thus show no reason for hope they would not again be hostile. He might have to go through being denied appeal relief several times? before it could progress to the Supremes. None of the NY Appellate courts have any reason for us to expect a fast appeal decision; they would all likely drag it out to keep that/those felony convictions standing well past the election. Infuriating, yes. Perhaps someone here more knowledgeable knows how many layers of NY State appeals courts there ARE to be gone through before his appeals reach the USSC? One or many? I think a party might be able to attempt to leapfrog over other lower courts on an emergency basis but the courts historically don’t like that, aren’t required in any case, to actually hear the appeal, and might deny it out of irritation that due process was not followed. I think Jack Smith tried this in Florida?
