The next debate is scheduled for June 27. Unless an appeal is successful overturning the verdict in three weeks, Trump would be going into the debates as a “convicted felon”, which is the entire point of this.
A hung jury, which I think is likely, isn't as good as a “not guilty”, but still leaves the matter for discussion during the debate.
I think that a large group of lawyers and legal professors should sign a letter condemning the process, like the “Hunter Laptop” letter that Biden waived around during the 2020 debate.
Also, if there is a “guilty” ruling, Trump's team should file an emergency expedited appeal, pointing out the vast irregularities, and the significant political ramifications a guilty verdict has hanging over his head. A reversal, especially a strongly worded reversal, would go a long way to mitigate a guilty verdict.
Agree. I wish Eileen Cannon was overseeing. Instead, if one of the counts comes back guilty from the jury, we may get a majority of NY kangaroos on the appeal. But one NY appeals court reduced the bail needed in the Letitia goat f***.
Oh God I thought it was over for today - that we would get the verdict. Another week of liberals crowing about the trial.
