Mistrial

a reply to: frogs453

May I ask where you get from the doc that it states Trump was not allowed to defend himself?

A lot of reports around that the ex chair of the federal election commission was not allowed to testify to the legal nature of the accounting records in question.

All the jury was left with was the word salad that special council Jack Smith had a hand in.

Ripping bong hits at 8AM isn’t a good look either.

No need to be harsh.

It’s Saturday after all.

So you just listen to "reports" you did not look for yourself? He was allowed to testify, the scope being campaign finance law and definitions of things like expenditure and contributions.
The defense chose not to have him testify to those things. Likely wanted him on a goose chase of something else. Then in turn, you'd then have the prosecution bring in their own witness to likely contradict their witness. When campaign finance was only one of the laws under consideration.

Trump should have just testified as he promised to clear it all up. No one stopped the defense from calling any witness. That was all on them.

Although I'm glad you posted the jury instructions as they clearly show impartiality, what you claim in them does not exist.

That is one objection now in the hands of the appeal.

I think this is their out...

He was guilty, but a juror screwed up...so mistrial.

They can still say he is a convicted felon, but used jury misconduct to avoid punishment.

Just trying to appear impartial.

The point here is that a jury of peers is supposed to be comprised of impartial citizens who don't have ulterior motives. That's part of the whole preamble when courts advise jurors of their function and obligations. Thusly the argument follows that per 6th amendment, Trump's citizen rights were violated by ignoring a prejudiced jury.

In a world of instant access to information, a bifurcation of it's populace and media driven by gamefication, how can any well known defendant receive a fair trial with impartial jurors?

Be it Trump, Chovin, Rittenhouse, Cosby, Jackson or even Weinstein?

Figure it out? That's why these federal types get paid the big bucks, for devising complex solutions to complex problems without crapping on the constitution.

The other answer, also known as f# it, is not an answer but a failure of office.

Given all available evidence, they are incapable of staying true to the law and Constitution.

Merchan must now decide if his own cessation of mootness is valid. 😃

Trump's defense team wants to call election law expert Brad Smith to testify about federal campaign finance law. But the judge ruled this morning that allowing Smith to testify expansively on that topic would supplant the judge's role to determine what the law is.

“There is no question this would result in a battle of the experts, which will only serve to confuse, and not assist, the jury,” Merchan declared near the beginning of today's court session.

Merchan did not block Trump from calling Smith, a former member of the Federal Election Commission. But the judge said he’d be restricted to the basics of the FEC and to “general definitions and terms” in campaign finance law, like what counts as a contribution or expenditure.

Trump’s defense wants Smith to testify about the FEC’s policy that expenses that exist “irrespective” of a candidacy are not deemed to be campaign expenditures — evidently as part of an argument that the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels wasn’t campaign-related under federal law.

Trump lawyer Emil Bove complained to Merchan that prosecutors have focused their case for felony convictions in a way that makes federal campaign law more pivotal than it appeared before the trial. “We’re still in a very strange situation because of the way the government has structured these business-record charges,” Bove said.

Crooked Judge Merchan has a PLAN...Here are 3 of his possible intents...and the full message thread outing a female Juror who broke Federal law, by leaking to her radical-left cousin that Donald Trump's "Guilty" verdict was in the bag, 2 days before it was announced.

As the saying goes, we shouldn't attribute to cunning and malice what can be easily attributed to stupidity. But this does present an opportunity to rehash the entire judicial proceeding (wasting Trump's time and money) and keep the gag order in effect as a result.

One way or the other, a felony conviction isn't slowing him down in the least.

so trying to stop derogatory information from coming out during an election is a crime, is that true?

Apparent juror misconduct in Trump’s NY trial for talking about the verdict with family ahead of time.

“Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System's public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention. In the comment, the user, ‘Michael Anderson,’ states:

“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted! Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!’"

The post came a day before Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

Stupid Liberals couldn’t keep their orgasmic euphoria contained.
