He isn’t fully right.
The location matters. A deep left blue part of NY. The Dumbocrap Parody is the only game in NY County. The juror pool will be mostly liberal and so-called “progressive” Democratics. The presiding Justice is most likely to be a Democrat, too.
The proper motions by the Trump lawyers will not be falling on a particularly fertile field. Consequently, although dismissal motions which might properly be granted are likely to be given short shrift.
At trial, the jury is more than likely to be unmoved by the facts, logic or the law. And, if there is a conviction, the appellate process will also be taking place first I. That same deep blue arena. Even the State’s high court is not necessarily going to follow the actual law. Judicial activism is more likely to prevail.
The usual judicial mechanics don’t favor a fair trial of this magnitude. Therefore, minimally, a motion for a change of venue is crucial. But who know if it will be granted?
