Trump of 34 felony counts earlier Thursday. * * * Bragg had in...

Possible but not probable. (And that reduce the secret service concerns.)

My over for probable is fine, probation, and a stern lecture.

Grifter gotta.

And if he is elected president, these state proceedings would be abated while he was president.

On any appeal (state or federal) you have to allege specific error(s) in the charges, verdict, conduct of the court, etc. Something specific went wrong, not just "I didn't like this verdict, please toss it out". Yes/No? Generally yes, unless you are a criminal defendant in front of Judge ...

Just the usual IANAL questions. I know that he can appeal and from what I have read it goes something like this: NY Supreme Court (Trial court) > NY Supreme Court, Appellate Division (1st level) > NY Court of appeals (Final level). I know that federal issues can be appealed to the USSC, but in this...

It is the day birthers have dreamed about for over a decade: A disgraced ex-president is convicted for crimes to obtain the presidency. :batting: https://twitter.com/Phil_GA/status/1796315338352812332 (TRSOL* Phil, for the newbs.) * The Right Side of Life, a ded birther blog, for the new newbs.

To steal from the bird site:

FINALLY, he won a popular vote.

What's the over/under on the appeal process? I'm guessing 7 years minimum. Even with delaying tactics, that's too long. And you are assuming he'll live seven more years. (NADT.) "Fun" fact: If a defendant dies while the appeal is pending, the guilty verdicts are abated, and the case is di...

It is the day birthers have dreamed about for over a decade:

A disgraced ex-president is convicted for crimes to obtain the presidency.

Onto the next round: Sentencing. From what I understand, in comparable cases (even felony ones), the sentence is usually a fine and probation. But this case (read: the defendant) is unusual. I would not be surprised if there was some modest jail time added. I also would not be surprised by "jus...

Yeah, my opinion was that if there was someone who needed convincing and getting the testimony and instructions reread convinced them, we would get a verdict soon. If the verdict did not come soon, then there was likely to be a holdout. So I take this as good news. My WAG is there wasn't serious di...

The Epoch Times also covered this "historic" case. 'nuff said. This is an example of the Epoch Times' spin: https://twitter.com/FactsMatterRB/status/1796247182804226244 It is a BIG DEAL that three justices (who were sued) recused themselves. :brickwallsmall: No mention of the unbroken rec...

Maybe she is an Onlyfans streamer looking for viewers. They had a camera set up in the street in Dublin a few weeks ago, and it was shut down when a Woman did the same thing to the camera, and it turned out she was an Oblyfans streamer. She got lots of free advertising from the tabloids. I've caref...

Maybe I missed it, but was it ever addressed, if trump did not have sex with Daniels, why didn’t he go to the police and have her arrested for extortion? Even if the sex didn't happen, it could still be extortion. * * * Who was he married to when he was carrying on with her? https://hips.hearstapps...

Since being sold, Newsweek has become little more than your average clickbait farm.

It is rare because it is rare for someone to be so dumb as to sue judges over an adverse ruling. :brickwallsmall: A judge's recusal where they are a party (even an unwilling one) is common.

On the juries I've served on here, in state court, both civil and criminal, the jury was given a written copy of the instructions to refer to. And in at least some jurisdictions, if there's conflict between the written and oral instructions, the written instructions prevail. (This is a common enoug...

Now, Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose has just send a letter to the Chair of the Ohio Democratic Party stating that he does not believe the legislature is going to grant an extension so the DNC is going to be forced to either change the date of their nominating convention to satisfy Ohio ...

Even assuming the prosecution could appeal the denial, it won't. Because the denial was based on a lack of a meaningful meet and confer. Even if the 11th has concerns about this judge, this isn't the vehicle to get to the 11th. The prosecution can (and likely will) just meet and confer, and refile. ...

With the three sued justices not participating, the six remaining justices denied cert. in Raland's latest.

On to the inevitable rehearing petition.

Probably, but it isn't theoretical which judge this case is before.

Question: is this something real that the court can find that sanctions on the prosecution to be appropriate, in what cases? Can sanctions go beyond striking a motion? How would the "participants" in creating a motion be determined, over the lead attorney being the speaker for the team? T...

The basis for the sanctions request is insufficient meeting-and-conferring: At 5:30 p.m. on Friday, May 24, 2024, the Special Counsel’s Office emailed defense counsel stating that they intended to file the Motion. At the conclusion of the email, [DOJ Attorney] Jay Bratt asserted: “We plan to file th...
