just an addition to the conversation, as to where your interlocutor is coming from on commentators like Dershowitz and Turley:

What's interesting about that comment is that it was from the very beginning of the case. Since then, Merchan has denied every defense motion and sustained every prosecution motion.

Furthermore, one Fox News commentator said during the forming of jury instructions last week that if this were baseball, Merchan had a super-wide strike zone for the prosecution, and a tiny strike zone for the defense.

I'd be surprised if anyone who thought the defense should have objected more back then believes it would have mattered now that Merchan has a track record on the matter.
