I've always believed this conviction would be overturned on appeal since it was so obvious even with my limited "Law and Order" TV knowledge. Now I'm not so sure. If the Democrats are this evil, they might just win at the next level, and then pack SCOTUS.
- What are the chances that Merchan would be assigned to two Trump trials if selection is random? One in a million? 500,000,000? He was handpicked.
- Merchan had donated to Biden's campaign, and his daughter is a Democrat party fund raiser benefitting from this trial.
- Merchan demanded gag orders which were illegal and unconstitutional, and fined Trump. No one understands the gag order.
- Merchan allowed irrelevant and salacious testimony that had no relevance to the trial and were intended to embarrass Trump and sway the TV audience.
- Merchan on the other hand disallowed testimony that would have helped the jurors understand federal election law and campaign finance law, a very complicated specialty that even the other lawyers involved don't know.
- Merchan cleared out the court room when Michael Cohen's former attorney was exonerating Trump but allowed the prosecution to bring in Stormy Daniels to talk about whether or not Trump used a condom.
- Merchan reprimanded key defense witness Robert Costello about "proper decorum" although he allowed Daniels to give great detail. Then when Costello wasn't impressed and glared at him, Merchan cleared the court room.
- Merchan gave the jury 54 pages of instructions on how to decide. I've been on a jury (once) and can't imagine trying to wade through that. I saw no information on what the crime was Trump was supposed to have committed with the NDA. People v. DJT Jury Instructions and Charges FINAL 5-23-24.pdf (nycourts.gov) .
- Merchan had the jury out for many days before final deliberation. No seclusion. Very irregular.
- Merchan set sentencing for July 11. Republican convention is July 15. It's still election interference.
