Bragg’s thrill kill in Manhattan could prove short-lived on appeal
The Hill ^ | June 6, 2024 | Jonathan Turley

Posted on 06/01/2024 9:44:32 AM PDT by McGruff

The conviction of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan of 34 felonies produced citywide celebrations.

...

The celebrants would be wise to think twice before mounting this trophy kill on the political wall. The Trump trial is a target-rich environment for an appeal, with multiple layers of reversible error, in my view.

I am less convinced by suggestions that the case could be challenged on the inability of Trump receiving a fair trial in a district that voted roughly 90 percent against him. The problem was not the jury, but the prosecutors and the judge.

Some of the most compelling problems can be divided into four groups.

No conservative AG or DA has the guts. 100% all cowards.

Not any I’ve seen. They seem ecstatic and as orgasmic as Toobin on a Zoom call.

They did great. The judge is corrupt and wouldn’t allow a defense.

The jury was awful and in on it. Probably paid.

They should all be exposed and (expletives)

“I have to hand it to the commies they know how to fight while it seems conservatives are too busy bad mouthing each other.”

You can see evidence of such bad mouthing on the Ukraine threads with posters following other posters onto non Ukraine threads.

Yeah the democrats are more united in their hive mind than conservatives are as individuals.

NY courts have weird titles. "Supreme court" isn't supreme.

“NY courts have weird titles”

I searched the appellate and supreme court sites. Saw judge pictures but not that group.

“I saw the picture of the judges in an earlier post but haven’t been able to find it on the internet. The picture shocked me. I’d like a link to verify it’s real.”

It was fake. Thread quickly deleted.

there are over a dozen more of them that could hear the appeal but I have little hope any of them will overturn this

20 of the 21 Justices on the First Department Appellate Division were appointed by Democrats and all but a couple of them are lifer government or left-wing NGO employees. Trump finding three votes out of five to overturn every count is impossible. MAYBE he can get an reasonably long sentence overturned but I think that they’ll be happy with 5 years, 3 with parole.

There’s a bit more balance on the Court of Appeals, but against, odds are long that they’d spring him.

Very unclear there are any federal Constitutional issues that would easily allow the Supreme Court to grant cert.

More likely than not, Trump does time.

yeah, house arrest IMO - that way, Merchandise can appear to “”find middle ground” and keep Trump away from the RNC, except maybe virtually.

and the doxxing is underway - being libtards, they are outing themselves.

why are holding back?

The pic that is circulating is the five black females out of 21 judges.

That was the description I saw of the picture. I’ve only seen the picture once or twice.

Top law firms will never work for a Trump. Their bread is buttered by the complexity of existing code and difficulty of achieving tort reform - conservatives represent an existential threat to their existence.

The US congress has a hush money fund. We should demand that records be released immediately.

Bingo. Have posted this same great observation on other threads. Many are not aware of this
