OK, here’s an article tying the immunity ruling and the New York case.
There was so much wrong with Merchins Kangaroo court, I wouldnt be surprised the immunity thing plays a part too. I had just read from other lawyer freepers here that the jury instructions about not having to find him guilty by unanimity of each charge, but just any combination of charges, was egregious and unconstitutional. It may also have to do with tying the state charges to a federal crime charge. The statute of limits had run out but the charges had to due with things that predated his 2016 election so I dont think immunity applied here, as it did in the DC/J6 charges.
