Dershowitz: ‘Bragg Is the Worst District Attorney in Modern New York History’
Breitbart ^ | 12/07/2024 | JEFF POOR

Posted on 12/07/2024 12:11:12 PM PST by SmokingJoe

During Friday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Hannity,” Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz predicted the New York City jury hearing the Daniel Penny case would remain deadlocked, possibly resulting in a loss for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Dershowitz said such a loss, coupled with a loss in his prosecution against President-elect Donald Trump, would likely result in a lost reelection bid.

According to Dershowitz, Bragg was the “worst district attorney” in modern New York history.

“Professor Dershowitz, in this kind of a dynamic, when you’ve got even at one point, he told the jury that it would have to be another jury, if they couldn’t come to a decision there would be another trial and you know another jury would do their job,” fill-in host Tammy Bruce said. “But there’s no guarantee that there would be another trial, the DA could decide not to try it again. It seems again like there’s a kind of coercion that’s aimed at the jury at this point.”

“Well, I think it’s manipulation,” Dershowitz replied. “It’s manipulation by prosecution. Look, your commentator that protested was absolutely right. This is a case about racism. It’s about the racism by the district attorney. It’s racism because if the racial composition had been flipped, nobody would have brought this case. There’d be no protesters outside protesting about a Black man being convicted of murder for choking somebody who — who was white. This is all about race, which is why although this is an attempt to manipulate the jury into coming to a compromised verdict, I think it will fail.”

Leave it to Breitbart to bury the lede:

“This is a case about racism. It’s about the racism by the district attorney.”

This attention whore always waits to see which way the wind is blowing before he shoots off his over credentialed pie hole. I heard him this morning cite the anti-semitic takeover of the Dems as the reason he left the party and used Sharpton as an example. Sharpton’s been an anti-semite and a Dem for 50 friggen years. Boy nothing gets by old Harvard Dersh.

One day someone in the new federal government is gonna find a way to prosecute Bragg for his persecution of a former President under federal statute. His state support system will collapse.

It is curious. I don’t quite understand why I find myself agreeing with him more and more and holding him in much higher esteem than I used to.

Nothing wrong with that.
We need over two viable political parties for a proper constitutional republic.

Although I have often disagreed with him, I think he would have been a great professor in law school.

IIRC he once referred to Ted Cruz as either the smartest student or the best student (can’t recall which) that he has ever had.

Bragg is just another “Didn’t Earn It” superstar.

Seems to me he is just another NCO in Satan’s Army doing his master’s will.

He’s a retarded porker. He’s clueless. An affirmative action, one ring circus.

Bragg is about as likely to lose his election over this as Fani Willis was to lose hers (she got re-elected). Bragg and Willis got elected because they're black and that's all their constituents care about.
