Seriously, the law compels him to declare a mistrial based on the SCOTUS decision. If he just does a sentence anyway, Trump can appeal this immediately back to the highest court.
Merchan knows the gig is up.
Not a mistrial...I think that means it can be tried again. He has to dismiss with prejudice...which means it can NEVER be tried again.
I believe it has to go to NYS Appeals Court...not USSC

Merchan knows the gig is up.>>> I think the appeal will be before the sentencing as the SCOTUS ruled regarding the evidence that cannot be used. Tweets, Phone records and Hope Hicks conversation, etc. So they could quash as soon as they file an appeal. There is a legal term “interlo...” or something regarding appeals for inadmissible evidence being allowed before the trial.
