Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Thursday that he doubts a New York appellate court will overturn former President Donald Trump’s conviction in his Manhattan trial.
…he believes appellate judges will be reluctant to overturn the jury’s decision because they might be biased against the former president.
I don’t think it would be reversed by the appellate division,” Dershowitz continued. “These are judges who are terrified of being perceived of as helping Trump in any way. Don’t know whether or not the New York Court of Appeals in Albany will have the ability to not consider the impact it will have on individuals as judges.

The powers that be who run our criminal government depend really strongly on the fact that the vast majority of folks in this country are basically non-violent and reasonably peaceable folks. Eventually though, some people are going to decide enough is enough and start shooting the bastards. I, for one, am not going to condemn them for doing so, though I hope their target choice is good. Pretty much any government employee of any kind won’t bother me one bit.
What BS huh? Even Dershowitz in one of his recent videos said the Judge and jury likely don't want to have to deal with being accused by family and friends of letting Trump off the hook. They'll convict an innocent man so they won't be rejected by family and friends afterwards.
The January 6 prisoners and others you have mentioned prove the Constitution no longer provides the protections for a fair trial due to venues that will always convict based on politics. A jury of peers is not possible. The only correction that can be made is a new constitutional amendment that will guarantee a change of venue process. When the judges deny it, when they won’t recuse in spite of ov prejudice, omething n must be done.
They did lower Engoron's excessive fine.

By who? Whoever it is has to be independently wealthy and live far enough in the boonies to have a defensible perimeter.
This is exactly how the Communists took over in Eastern Europe after the war.
When will Traitor Roberts come out and say: “There are NO anti-Trump Judges....” ?
Any Jurist who lets political bias interfere with the administration of justice or allows their fears of public outcry to influence a decision, should no longer be a Jurist.
Exactly correct. To save their own worthless skins, the Supremes better get involved, and they better rule in favor of Trump and vacate this entire travesty. They are next on the chopping block and they better wake up.
Is this the same appellate court that overturned Harvey Weinstein’s conviction..they were not scared to do that but after all Weinstein is a dem so that helped him. The reason why the jury yesterday did what they did is because those two lawyers on the jury, people would have found out who they are eventually and their practice would have been destroyed..this is what they do in Russia and we are living in it right now
That is the playbook.
But the SCOTUS is surprising me lately. They may decide to jump in.
Or not.
We are at the end of our current style of government. At this point, anything can happen.
Yep. Watch the mountains of progressive Crap come pouring out of the WH by executive edict in the next few weeks.
And that’s how it is, right up until it isn’t. Reminds me of George McFly. Biff thought he could abuse him forever, again and again. And then in that one magnificent scene, the fear in his face turns to pure hate, he doubled up his fist and coldcocked biff.
Bullies have a grand time, and they think everything is going their way, and they’re always completely shocked when that blow comes.
Exactly, they have started us down the “slippery slope”. Maybe this is why they wanted 87,000 new ARMED IRS special agents and the thousands of weapons stockpiled by Biden/Obama’s alphabet agencies
We were too busy fighting the commies overseas, took our eye off the ball at home, and domestic communism blossomed here, and has flourished here ever since.
Bragg expedited this trial so it could impact the election, but the appeals court will probably drag their feet so it can’t be overturned before the election...unless the Supreme Court gets involved. Mark Levin has been talking about ways that could happen. No doubt Roberts and the three Democrat appointees will vote against Trump but he could get a 5-4 vote overturning the verdict...but after the election.
“...deliberate error...”
I like that.
Is it covered in the Criminal Code?
It was reported that he would not be called. Michael Goodwin, for one, wrote about it.
Traitor Roberts’ Handmaiden like Associate, ACB, is always questionable.
I mentioned that.
Additionally, the Supreme Court has ruled that in any case where the sixth or Seventh Amendment is implicated, jurors must agree on all particulars, yet Merchan instructed them that they didn’t have to agree on the underlying crime.
