The judge who presided over Donald Trump’s fraud case closed off many avenues of appeal, leaving him few ways to escape his felony conviction
Here is the relevant part before paywall Anyone know what the judge did?
But even if the former — and possibly future — president could persuade voters to ignore his conviction, the appellate courts might not be so sympathetic. Several legal experts cast doubt on his chances of success, and noted that the case could take years to snake through the courts, all but ensuring he will still be a felon when voters head to the polls in November.
The agreement between the people and government appears hopelessly broken.
I hope that doesn’t include the Supreme Court.
Right, and Trump should immediately appeal this to the USSC as this is a matter of utmost national interest.
Last I heard, the SCOTUS is supposed to issue a ruling on immunity for Trump sometime in June. This from a case that was heard months ago.
Actually I don’t believe it. Closing off many avenues of appeal seems to suggest to judge bent over backwards to let the defense have its way but I sense the judge made many motions that benefited the prosecution, not the defense. For example, Trump’s lawyer wanted a change in venue but the judge denied that motion.
In before some estblishment hack lawyer says you can't do that.
Fake News. You don’t need to be a Lawyer to see how unfair this mockery of Justice was.
Don’t believe this for a second. Every unresolved Objection by the Defense opens the door for an appeal.
They’re lying to you again!
Trump has to post a $1 trillion bond this time ?
I think it is better for Trump to wrap himself in the injustice of twice impeached, now a felon by the Dems and play it for all it is worth. He's good at that. Besides, have those two impeachments adversely impacted him at all?
Trump should start selling T shirts that say “PROUD FELON” makes the words convicted felon not mean anything anymore if Trump makes money off of it
I don't either. Its the NY Times making excuses for future corrupt rulings by the NYS appellate courts.
It’s the NY Times...
They are proven liars.
I believe the defense had a witness who could have been very useful. But the judge blocked that witness from testifying on the important topics. So the defense didn’t bother to call them at all. As I understand it, having used the witness in any capacity would have been useful in a later appeal and that failure to make use of them was an error by the defense. I think the guy was a federal election law bigshot. That’s partly on the judge but mostly on the defense.
Who cares. This completely taints the whole legal system to me. Ex Con means nothing to me. I’ll always (if I care) hear the story for myself and make up my own mind. Hopefully this ensures no one will every support a stop and frisk type policy as a means of convicting someone of something. It’s clear to me now why the black community has no problem saying F the police. The system is roting to the core.
Yes, alas, I know it’s a pipe dream.
And so does the left.
It’s the New York Times.
The worst propaganda rag in history.
They loved Stalin.
They haven’t been right about anything, or printed truth, for decades at least.
You’d have to be insane to to believe them…which most…no, all Leftists are.
Trump is definitely going to be giving his acceptance speech from a NY prison. Not a country worth fighting for. The entire military should put down their arms.
