But the NY judge only agreed with them (not sure how he couldn’t but he did) today—before he didn’t that is why they are having this trial.

Wonder if it’s going to be a take down for Letitia James for her bogus set up?.

Much easier to get a reversalon a guilty verdict if tried by a judge. With a jury verdict, an appellate court gives great weight to the jury decision because they heard the evidence.

With a judge, you can attack the findings of fact and conclusions of law much more easily because the judge must write them out when delivering a verdict. A jury doesn’t have to do that.

Being a civil case, Trump doesn’t have to attend the trial.

A lot of of it was dismissed today as the judge agreed that the statute of limitations had passed.

That itself is damning. Prosecuting a case after the statute of limitations has expired is a clear case of prosecutorial misconduct.

It’s like prosecuting someone for murder when the prosecutor knows the “victim” is alive and well.

Yes, it is. And this judge ignored the appellate courts ruling. They just don’t care how it looks as long as they get rid of Trump.

Assessed value and market value have no real relationship to one a other.

Most assessed values of real estate are far less than the market value. The higher the market value, the greater % difference in the assessed value.

And a judge relies on the same facts presented as evidence as a jury does. There are either facts to support the verdict on the record or there aren’t.

He’s playing it politically. Trump is going to lose no matter what. Jury or Judge, when 1 judge finds you guilty it will be an easier political spin than a jury (even a tainted leftist one). Now he can just rail about the Rat Puke judge and everyone knows that’s why he “lost”.

The judge broke NY state law. He is not qualified to asses property.

He can go eff himself the smiling little SOB.
