SCOTUS Ruling Deems Trump’s New York Conviction Unconstitutional on Two Key Grounds
The People's Voice ^ | June 25, 2024 | Staff

Posted on 06/25/2024 9:17:23 AM PDT by Red Badger

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) delivered two precedent-setting rulings that could significantly impact former President Donald Trump’s criminal convictions.

In a decisive 6-3 decision in the Erlinger vs United States case, the Supreme Court ruled that juries must be unanimous on each criminal count, a standard not met in Trump’s New York case, where the jury returned a 4-4-4 verdict on the underlying crime.

This ruling underlines that Trump’s conviction was unconstitutional and must be overturned. During Trump’s New York trial, the judge had instructed the jury that unanimity on the specific crimes was unnecessary, as long as they agreed that a crime had taken place.

Additionally, SCOTUS ruled that sentencing enhancements cannot be arbitrarily implemented by judicial fiat, further solidifying the protections against unjust legal procedures.

These rulings have profound implications for Trump’s legal battles, particularly the controversial case led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and the bogus J6 1512(c) charges and sentencing enhancements that corrupt federal judges have announced they will implement if the Supreme Court nukes 1512(c).

The Supreme Court’s decisions underscore the necessity for unanimous jury verdicts in criminal convictions and proper judicial processes in sentencing enhancements, casting doubt on the validity of current and future proceedings against Trump.

...neither of the 2 cases you are referring to (Gonzales and Erlinger) are controlling in the Trump case. Otherwise his conviction would be already reversed.
Good grief, guy. Get a grip on reality.

Both rulings apply to the process of the judge's dirty dealings in Bragg's persecution. The SC's simple restating of principles of basic, mandatory fairness in trial procedings (settled law) have not yet been argued in an appeal. An appeal that will easily win out.

Btw, aren't you overdue in sending Joe some bucks?

Notice, I said might possibly, not that the argument/ruling will win the day. There are a lot of rulings applied to various appeals that fail to impact the decision.

If it does, then you’ll receive my mea culpa.

You tanned and rested?  

Looks your arguments on the "G7 diplomats say Biden ‘worst he’s ever been.’" thread didn't age well.

Did you enjoy the implosion of your Joe Biden on Thursday?

It was entertaining watching Dana "Why The Long Face" Bash and Jake "The Fake" Tapper have to hold the senile, thieving old child-molesting bum Biden by both arms to get him to the "debate" finish line...

And watching President Jill help him down the step from the stage so he could go sniff Dana's hair.

LOL!!

Anyone NOT supporting Pres Donald J Trump, at this point, is definitely playing for the other team.

I think you’ll find somewhere in the past where I’ve said Biden needs to do what LBJ did in 68 and step aside.

If you said it, it was only in furtherance of your Democrat Party retaining the White Hospice.

Aren't you pleased with President Jill?

There’s a common thread here.

Let’s see if you are good at pattern-matching.
