Generally, “pour him out” means “not give him anything he wants”. I hope they don’t give the judge anything he wants.

Other notable Merchan cases

In 2011, Merchan presided over the case of a New York Police Department sergeant, William Eiseman, who admitted to conducting illegal searches and then lying about his actions in court. Eiseman pleaded guilty to first-degree perjury and official misconduct, and Merchan sentenced him to 24 days in jail; Eiseman also forfeited his pension.

In 2012, Merchan presided over the criminal proceedings against Anna Gristina, who was charged with operating an upscale prostitution ring on the Upper East Side. Gristina and a co-defendant had been arrested in February 2012, after an investigation by the Manhattan DA’s office. Merchan set bail at a $2 million bond, or $1 million cash; because Gristina was unable to meet this amount, she was detained at Rikers Island jail for four months. The Appellate Division lowered Gristina’s bail to $250,000 bond or $125,000 cash, on condition that she give up her passport and be electronically monitored.[22] Gristina, nicknamed the “Soccer Mom Madam”, pleaded guilty to one count of promoting prostitution, and Merchan sentenced her to six months in jail, which amounted to time already served due to the four months Gristina had spent at Rikers before being bailed.

In late 2022, Merchan oversaw the five-week criminal trial of the Trump Organization; the organization was convicted of 17 counts of tax fraud.

Merchan presided over the criminal case of Donald Trump’s former financial chief Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty to his role in a 15-year-long tax-fraud scheme. Weisselberg admitted to evading taxes by accepting $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation and entered a plea agreement, in which he testified against The Trump Organization and helped to secure the company’s conviction. Merchan sentenced Weisselberg to five months at Rikers Island and said he would have imposed a substantially longer sentence but for the plea agreement.

Merchan is the judge assigned to preside over the criminal trial of Steve Bannon, a former Trump adviser who was indicted in September 2022 on charges of fraud and money laundering in connection with a fundraising scheme. The case is set for trial in May 2024.

Judge in Trump case in NYC just told jury they don’t have to unanimously agree on which crime was committed as long as they all at least pick one

And that among the crimes the can pick from are ones Trump WASN’T EVEN CHARGED WITH!!!

This is exactly the kind of sham trial used against political opponents of the regime in the old Soviet Union

I am going to be a bit contrarian...

I believe that the jury will return a not guilty verdict on all charges.

Call if a small remnant of faith in humanity.

Then, the deep state mafia can go after Trump alleging some sort of impropriety in the case.

Then, they will focus on the remaining cases...

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking and it is ever closer to when I cast my vote.

May God grant me my wish...

Facts matter. One can’t say intent constitutes a crime even if the perp intends to commit it but opts out, and then say it is a crime if he neither intended nor committed it.

My question would be, will he be jailed if a guilty verdict is reached, or will he be allowed to stay out while the appeal is processing?

I believe that is entirely at the judge's discretion.

Dead on correct. Schumer— lying a@@ which he is, is also a TOOL of these same.... creatures.

Merchan has a great deal to be afraid of- and his actions show it. No Constitutionally sworn judge or lawyer who do the pretzel logic of a “fertilizer” name the crime decision...4-4-4. Like some kind of slot machine.

The nervous “Nells” of the presstitute media a@@clowns can get even more nervous. There are Patriots watching all of them, noting them.

Love your tag line and it IS from BHO, aka Oba-Mau-Mao the kenyan kenyatta Mau-Mau, Maoist Communist.... Muslim.

Three days ago they were making preparations for Trump to be imprisoned.

It’s a done deal.

Y’all can believe he did A,B,C, or D, but my daughter has got over $100 Million and the NY Appeals Court Hates Trump.

This is insanity.

I’ve tried many jury trials in my day. You give jurors paper instructions every time.

How are 12 jurors supposed to remember the elements necessary for each of the 34 felony counts?

If that happens, the country will shut down almost immediately.

The people in NYC better have enough food to last until they let Trump go.

He did not give paper instructions? Were they electronic? Or only audio?

Great. His parents— who were they. They are still alive? What was their “reason” for immigration from Colombia? Narcotics cartel witnesses for the DEA. Witness protection?
Who or what, and their politics because Pablo Escobar and others were all members of the Colombian “legislature”. Judges there routinely murdered.. in public.

His father was Columbian military.

What are the odds he worked with the CIA?

Says who... Gateway Pundit? What source. Certainly do NOT know what Trump’s LOYAL Secret Service and his large retinue of PAID top tier private protection would do. They are both in court and.. armed.
