I’m not being a wise guy when I’ve predicted on this forum a 15-20% chance of a directed verdict. With a judge as embroiled as this one, that’s a very respectable likelihood. This case is covered in reversible error and Marchand does not want to get reversed. He can take out his left wing hackery on Trump through the trial, then walk him on a directed verdict with a long self-serving decision that he can fashion to try to get him a pass from the left. Not a hard needle to thread given that even leftist commentators are attacking this case
Well, they’ll just make some up. FBI will help I’m sure.
Hey stupid: They're Democrats.
The presumption of innocence in criminal cases is a fundamental right and is necessary for two reasons, 1) the impossibly of proving a negative, (proving the defendant did not commit the crime) and 2) to balance out the defendants finite resources against the states practically unlimited resources. In this case, the prosecution has somehow managed with its vast resources to prove Trump’s innocence.
Wait a second. You have to have Evidence to convict someone of a crime?
When did this start?
(sarcasm.)
Lack of evidence? How about a lack of a crime!
bttt
“Let the jury consider their verdict,” the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
“No, no!” said the Queen. “Sentence first—verdict afterwards.”
“Stuff and nonsense!” said Alice loudly. “The idea of having the sentence first!

I learned a new word looking this up. It’s arbitrariness.
Means the quality of being subject to an individual’s will, judgment, discretion, or personal preference.
Pretty much sums up the dem’s plan for all of these legal abuses.
When this is all said and done, Merchan needs serious consequences.
It went from, “pound the facts, pound the law and pound the table” to “hide the facts, pound the pornstar, pound the donuts”
The idea of acquittal with a NY jury is just stupid.
Nope...never happen! DJT *will* be convicted...on *all* counts.He’ll be convicted regardless of how flimsy the charges are...he’ll be convicted regardless of how flimsy the evidence is. Rat Party Headquarters has already assured this outcome.
It’s a democratic/liberal jury. Evidence is the last thing on their empty heads... they have no minds.
The charges are irrelevant. They could be anything, it doesn’t matter.
The evidence is irrelevant, it could be none at all, it could all prove Trump innocent. Doesn’t matter.
There is a concept of Jury Nullification. This is the opposite - a show trial.
Trump will be found guilty regardless of anything. This is a kangaroo court, a sham trial.
We already had such a trial in NY but it was a civil case. The allegations were nonsense, there was no evidence, and Trump was found guilty.
So not a jury of your peers.
Wow. So there’s a problem with lack of evidence so Trump may be found not guilty? Why is that a problem? If there is no evidence against a person...they are innocent! That is the way it is suppose to work! The MSM act like this is life or death for the Dems.
Chances are he will be convicted butwill be overturned on appeal
