Dershowitz to Newsmax: Trump Needs to Fire His Lawyers
Newsmax ^ | Mark Swanson

Posted on 05/30/2024 7:18:09 PM PDT by joesbucks

“I'm going to predict that the first thing Trump does is fire his lawyers, which he should have done before the trial rather than after the trial," Dershowitz said on "The Record With Greta Van Susteren."

His lawyers did not do a good job. And what worries me, as an appellate lawyer, is that they didn't do a good job preserving the record for appeal. They focused exclusively on the trial, which is what many trial lawyers erroneously do," Dershowitz said. "But you can't win an appeal if the lawyers below didn't create a record for appeal. And they didn't do that here, particularly the missing witness, the issue of, the failure to allow the expert witness to testify."

IMHO, criminal defense lawyers tended to be the weakest kind of lawyer. Most of them specialize in plea bargains, and few want to fight for their client at the risk of annoying the judge. The judge will remember an attorney who is a PITA in the next case before that judge. In this case the witnesses against a POTUS were a convicted perjurer and a porn star/prostitute. I would fire the lawyers just because of that. Dunno if the expert witness needed to testify on the law, because it is the law, not a fact in the case.

It’s a Corrupt system.

They’ll raid and imprison his lawyers, and they’ll move to disbar.

Did they raid Rudy Giuliani?

Lawyers aren’t going to be interested. The Corrupt system is the issue.

That’s not what Dershowitz is saying at all. He isn’t say they did a bad job at trial, he is saying they did not properly preserve issues for appeal. I have no idea if that is right or not.

“Didn’t matter how good or bad Trump’s lawyers were. The trial was rigged by the corrupt judge and biased jury from the get go.”

Precisely. That is the whole thing in a nutshell.

STOP. Do not reply to me.

You just got that stink on you, you can't cover it up. You were supporting the BS persecution of Trump, it's in your posting history. You were trashing Trump to support desanctononious. When desanctomonious came out and cheered on the charges in this very case, you said Trump deserved it. desanctomonious immediatly jumped to stormy danials side, and so did you. You low lifes thought it would help desanctamonious. that is a stink you will never get rid of.

There’s all sorts of legal assists behind these high priced lawyers. I’m sure from the start it’s all easily captured and maintained for appeal. Kindly Dersh, shut up!

I agree. He’s an effective Trump ‘legal’ supporter, but, he’s been contradicted by many experts regarding the ‘preservation’ of appeal related products during the trial.

Didn’t Merchan do a pretty good job of preserving a record for Trump’s lawyers to use for an appeal by making so many glaring appealable mistakes in running the trial?

Wrong about what?

“No Trump lawyer stood a chance in that courtroom circus.”

“There’s no evidence that there even WAS a holdout juror.”

Someone on TV called this holdout juror a plant to fake is6 out. Called him a Trojan horse. (There never was a holdout juror favorable to Trump. They were goofing on us.)

Any new lawyers will be subjected to Federal Raids and charged with “Subverting Democracy”

Special Police Judge Merchan will Prosecute them.

They didn’t allow Trump to call witnesses in his defense, where’s the leap?

Talk is cheap.

Is Dershowitz stepping up to serve Trump?

Is Mark Levin?

Oh for Cripe's sake, even if Dershowitz represented Trump in this trial, he still would have been convicted. I don't remember Dershowitz making any comments during the trial that Trump's lawyers were not performing well, or what they should be doing. In fact, in one of his interviews, he was giving Bragg advice on how to proceed with the case:

Alvin Bragg Should Follow Key 'Roadmap' in Trump Trial: Alan Dershowitz

"What is important now, whether he keeps his attorneys or hires new ones, is that he picks winners."

In many cases, a defendant hires attorneys that specialize in appeals, and don't stay with the lawyers that defended him in the trial.
