Merchan just delivered the coup de grace instruction ( what?)
Jonathan Turley ^

Posted on 05/29/2024 8:23:32 AM PDT by janetjanet998

Merchan just delivered the coup de grace instruction. He said that there is no need to agree on what occurred. They can disagree on what the crime was among the three choices. Thus, this means that they could split 4-4-4 and he will still treat them as unanimous

So a dead misdemeanor for falsifying business records was zapped back into life by alleging that under NY election law 17-152 it was done to influence the election by the unlawful means of falsification of business records. It is so circular as to produce vertigo. So the jury finds some documents were falsified to use the unlawful means of falsifying other documents. That is only one of three possible crimes and the jury does not have to agree on which was the basis for their conviction.

I appreciate your optimism. What I wouldn’t give for that to be outcome, yet I don’t share your take on what’s about to happen. Thanks anyway.

This will be overturned on appeal after the election but Merchan does not care because he wanted to deliver the guilty verdict to Biden so he could use it before the election. Mark Levin says the only way to get it potentially overturned BEFORE the election is to file for a writ of certiorari directly with the US Supreme Court alleging that Merchan’s misdirection was for purposes of affecting a national election. They would argue this is not just any case but so important nationally and the reversible error so apparent that an expedited appeal directly to the SC is required. No chance they would be granted the writ for review if it was controlled by Dems. But the 6 Republicans on the court have been accepting other lawfare case issues for appeal and ruled positively on them

In other words, the accusation is evidence of a crime. Good 15th century witch-hunting prosecution.

Back then, they had an unique way of assessing guilt of being a witch. The woman was tied up in a certain fashion and thrown in a pond. If the woman sank and drown, she was innocent. If she floated she was burned at the stake.

The case won’t last two minutes in appellate court, but the media and democrats will ride it 24/7 until it is overturned.

The New York judicial system might get back to it in about two years.

I am hoping NYC will shut down if they vote to convict.

People are very upset about this, even some Democrats. I heard a woman say the other day that she is praying that all liberals become impotent so they can’t reproduce.

This would presumably be the New York Bar. They’re safe.

How third-world of the wetback cur...

RE: referring to Merchan as a cur:

The Revelation 22:15: "Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

I would say it's beyond dispute that the wetback cur Merchan "loves and practices falsehood".

Came across another commentary on verse 15 that says that the "dog" is vernacular for male prostitute (again a good fit for the wetback cur).

The real purpose of all this (besides get Trump) is to set it up that Trump looks absolutly guilty of something. And then WHEN the Supreme Court actually does the right thing they will use it as an excuse to either bypass the Supreme Court or remove those who disagree and replace them with quislings.

Never forget the goal is to destroy our constitutional government in all ways, shape and form.

His father was in the Colombian Military at a time when our CIA worked with the Colombian Military (1967-1969). Searching for more details.

There is a possibility — remote, given that it’s New York, but still a possibility — of an honest and intelligent juror, which would produce a hung jury.

Given the course of this trial, it's likely that any holdout jurors would be tossed and alternates brought in to secure the desired verdict.

If some jurors believe that Trump falsified business documents solely to cover up a tax crime, while others believe that he falsified business documents solely to cover up an election crime, the jury can still convict Trump on the felony-level falsifying-documents charges, despite disagreeing on the predicate crimes.

The verdict sheet is the only hard-copy document the jurors will have with them in the deliberations room. It instructs them to check “Not Guilty” or “Guilty” on each of 34 counts of a single charge: falsifying business records in the first degree.

The judge told jurors that they could not take a written copy of the charge with them to the deliberations room.

Merchan said that there is no need to agree on what occurred. They can disagree on what the crime was among the three choices. Thus, this means that they could split 4-4-4 and he will still treat them as unanimous.
