When I was creating legal medical record documents, if I made an error, I could lose my job. But if those docs were subpoenaed for a malpractice suit, I don't think the doctor could get away with "The transcriptionist screwed up."

Don't doctors review for accuracy?

Off Topic

They're supposed to. You'd be surprised what typos slip through. I remember one time the hospital got sued because the doctor correctly dictated the patient has no evidence of AIDs but the transcriptionist (not me, I swear) typed the patient has evidence of AIDs.

Proofreading gets a lot harder after a long day at the hospital.

It's much easier, I think, to catch someone else's typos.

When I graduated from college in 1975, I began working at one of the Big 8 accounting firms. I remember seeing several people sitting in a room, with one person reading aloud financial statements, making sure there were no typos. It's been a long, long time, but I think they were reading every punctuation mark, etc. That would be so very tedious... you couldn't pay me enough!

In Trumplandia, Trump doesn’t “take responsibility at all.”

Never has, never will.

IN THE NYS A.G. LETITIA JAMES CASE, I WAS TARGETED, GIVEN NO JURY, NO EXTENSIONS, NO COMMERCIAL DIVISION, NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, NO ANYTHING! THE DEMOCRAT JUDGE HATES TRUMP WITH A PASSION. THE THING I HAVE IS A GREAT CASE BASED ON PHENOMENAL NUMBERS THAT SHOW A NET WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE THAN SHE VICIOUSLY & FALSELY CLAIMED, VERY LITTLE DEBT, BIG CASH, A POWERFUL DISCLAIMER CLAUSE, PAID OFF LOANS, NO DEFAULTS, “HAPPY” BANKS, GREAT ASSETS. I WAS DEFAMED BY NYS - ELECTION INTERFERENCE!

[MN-Skeptic]

OMG. Trump is such a baby, such a whiner. Who could stand to be around such a whiny little brat?

This is NOT how a mature adult acts.

It's how a whiny little brat acts. One who gets left a home while the rest of the family goes to the movies. Or a restaurant.

Stick a pacifier in his mouth!

Don't worry baby. Jury is coming soon.

I working my way through the NY Depo. About a third of theh way through. Gag me.

As an editor I am qualified to trim off the extraneous words. Here is my version of what I've read so far. Dedicated readers will note some familiar refrains:

Outstanding job, p0rtia. You have saved so many of us from serious

[chancery]

Don't worry baby. Jury is coming soon.

I've read that it's not yet clear whether this will be a jury trial, a bench trial, or a bifurcated trial with only some issues decided by a jury.

The action has been brought under N.Y. Executive Law § 63(12), which allows the attorney general to seek injunctive and "other relief" '[w]henever any person shall engage in repeated fraudulent or illegal acts or otherwise demonstrate persistent fraud or illegality in the carrying on, conducting or transaction of business." There is no historic or constitutional right to a jury trial in claims for equitable relief such as injunctions.

Section 63(12) also permits an order "directing restitution and damages," and Trump might have the right to a jury trial as to that aspect of the case. Trump's lawyers might have have been able to defer making a decision whether to exercise that right. It's not clear whether a New York City jury would be a good thing for Trump. OTOH, Judge Engoron seems like a smart, tough judge who has Trump's number, so Trump should be fearful no matter what.


There's probably a body of law concerning jury trials under § 63(12); I haven't looked at it.

Thanks so much for the info on all the possibilities of how this case might be handled. I really appreciate it.

Really funny how the greatest. negotiator. evah. can't actually negotiate with his political adversaries, innit? I mean, isn't the point of being able to negotiate being able to do so with people who don't actually want to be your friend but would have some kind of claim on something you want and vice versa? Ah, fuggedaboudit.

My fave so far is the list of lies. We've heard most of it before, but it's nice to see it organized.
