Police responded to a bomb threat at Engoron's house today, hours before closing arguments were scheduled to start. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/bomb-threat-targeted-home-judge-trumps-civil-fraud-trial-rcna133416 The article makes it sound like it could be related to Engoron not allowing Trump to testify. quote:Trump had asked to deliver part of the closing arguments himself, but Engoron rejected the request Wednesday in a contentious email exchange with Trump’s lawyers after the former president refused to commit to only speaking about the facts of the case and not engage in any attacks. This whole thing is almost certainly a result of treating Trump with kid gloves when it came to him spouting all his bullshit on truth social, making vague statements against Engoron's secretary and bitching about how unfairly he's been treated. Hopefully the judges on his other trials see this and grounds him like the petulant child he is. Also, satire is dead. quote:Outside the courthouse, protesters chanted behind a banner that said, “No Dictators in the USA,” briefly blocking traffic before law enforcement officers moved them out of the way.

Maybe she's angling to give Trump grounds to appeal by way of ineffective counsel?  Also, those were the closing arguments? I thought you weren't supposed to object during closing. Or maybe it's just bad form?

haveblue posted:What happens if you fail to post the bond, the state takes all your stuff, and then you win the appeal? Doesn't any money or capital towards a bond get held in escrow during an appeal? So I don't think it actually "goes" anywhere until the appeal is over.

Charlz Guybon posted:Does that mean he can pay 175 to secure a 464 bond, while on appeal. (Which we know he'll lose) My read is just that the bond amount has been cut for the appeal. He's still on the hook for the full judgement. Edit: vv that's my read, yes.

If the punishment for a crime does not meet or exceed the benefit of doing said crime, then it's just "cost of doing business."

Deteriorata posted:Show how he can do that. The bond isn't a requirement for appeal. The bond just stops the court from seizing and selling his assets immediately to collect the cost of the judgement. If he doesn't post bond and wins his appeal, then he gets the money back from the sale of his assets.

JunkDeluxe posted:Questions from someone who knows nothing about trials and such. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the appeal isn't a redo of the case, but a review of whether the court followed proper procedure. If they rule that proper procedure wasn't followed, they can rule to have a new trial, or some other outcome (including altering the judgement, maybe?) The appeal can be appealed, but again, it's limited to reviewing the actions of the previous appeal, so the original trial isn't even considered. Trump can technically appeal as far as there are higher courts to appeal to, but eventually he'll run out, or one of the higher courts will refuse to hear it.

Cimber posted:I didn't know this but.... Jesus, I feel like anyone could be a successful prosecutor against Trump. Prosecutor: "You are alleged to have done this very serious crime that could result in sever punishment. Also, you did it in a very stupid way." Trump, during a press conference just after court: "What I did wasn't stupid. It was the best version of that crime. It was perfect. Criminals would wish they could do that crime like I did."

Pikavangelist posted:I once attended a talk by Neil deGrasse Tyson (back before he lost his loving mind) where he mentioned being dismissed from jury duty because he asked why the prosecution was using a particular unit of measurement for a drug charge. I think it was something like referring to 10,000 milligrams instead of 10 grams. Apparently he's been rejected multiple times for jury duty. Here's a clip about witness testimony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRLj7bBCgI4 E: Found a clip of what you're referring to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y-lqO1dnX4&t=212s Velocity Raptor fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Apr 17, 2024 |

Tesseraction posted:He told them to be more responsible and then specifically forbade them from reporting on the person's occupation both current and former. Why aren't jurors anonymous to begin with in any legal proceeding? At best, there is no benefit to the jurors being identifiable, and at worse, they end up getting harassed and threatened as we're seeing now with what Trump and the media are doing. E: I'm referring to public anonymity. The court would need to preserve their names for record keeping, obviously.

Accipiter posted:I really want to know where that $9000 actually came from, and why they needed two separate checks. The attorneys probably just covered the cost of the fine with the expectation that they'll just add it to his bill (like they'll ever get paid). Two checks is probably because it came out of two different accounts from the company.
