Trump Indictment Would Probably Be Overturned on Appeal: Dershowitz

[pknopp]

Hmmm, does your outrage about Epstein's airplane extend to ALL the people who flew on it, or is this just a convenient mud ball to throw?

All. Why would it not?

Everyone is entitled to legal defense, even if they're icky and wear white after Labor Day.

What he got for defending OJ……Publicity

A made-up charge that the NY Times says is a 'novel legal theory'.

Democrats turning America into a republic. (A huge cadre of military-aged men decamped near our southern border recently).

​

If former President Donald Trump is indicted, he’ll probably be convicted but an appeal would likely lead to the conviction being thrown out, legal expert Alan Dershowitz said on March 18.​

​

“I don’t think there will be a motion to dismiss that succeeds. This is New York justice. In New York, of course you can indict a ham sandwich. But in New York, you can also convict a ham sandwich because the jury pool will be very much against Trump and the judges will be very much against Trump,” Dershowitz, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, said during an appearance on Fox News.​

​

“So, if I were him, I would be worried today. He’ll probably ultimately win on appeal, but do judges today have the courage … to do something favorable to Trump in a city which overwhelmingly despises Trump? That’s what’s wrong with this justice system.”​

​

Trump is reportedly set to face an indictment for a payment made to Stormy Daniels, an adult actress who has made the contested claim that he had an affair with her. The payment was made by Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, and Trump reimbursed the lawyer. Trump has said the allegations were “debunked.”​

​

Dershowitz, who was part of Trump’s impeachment defense team in 2020, agreed. “There is no crime here,” he said.​

​

​

‘Used His Own Money’​

​

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said in a statement that most campaign finance violations involve spending other people’s money illegally or accepting money that you should not.​

​

“Trump did neither. He used his own money to resolve a private dispute, irrespective of any campaign. The impending indictment is based on an untested, tortured legal theory. This is an absurd abuse of the criminal process in our politics. It must be seen for the partisan pathetic ploy it is,” Gaetz, a Trump supporter, said.​

Trump Conviction Would Probably Be Overturned on Appeal: Dershowitz

www.theepochtimes.com

It could be overturned on appeal, if he is charged, which we do not know the charges if any will come yet, he could easily have 1 juror out of 12 to not vote guilty.... Only 1 is needed.

Trump lived in NYC his whole life, why would the entire city, of voters in the jury pool hate him? There are republican and Trump voters there in Manhattan....

And lastly, Dershowitz thinks he will be convicted....so he obviously believes Bragg has a strong enough case against Trump to do that.... WOW! That's really something for Dershowitz to admit...though he tried to soften it with his partisan crap..."could indict a ham sandwich" comment, and the world of law and order is all against him, judges and jurors and prosecutors blah blah blah.....

Your article mentioned nothing on what Bragg likely has on him...

according to Cohen a while back....

Cooking the books, for this payment, and skirting taxes.... Is what speculators on this side of the aisle are saying on the talk shows...

Trump could blame his accountant who is in jail at Rikers Island right now....???

Can an indictment be appealed?

I'm not sure an indictment can be appealed. Dershowitz was saying that on appeal of a conviction they could seek to overturn the indictment. But that's a unique legal theory, because any failure of presenting exculpatory evidence to the grand jury, was corrected by the pre-trial discovery disclosure requirements.

So any errors in the indictment, were already corrected before the trial.

Which would not have been an error in the proceeding but there could have been other errors such as faulty directions given to the jury et cetera.. I don't know what they might be i'm not a lawyer but i'm just thinking

It is despicable the way the filthy Biden Administration is using the power of the Federal government to attack Trump.

Every American should be outraged. America suppose to be better than that. However, when the Democrats stole the 2020 election like all Leftest the agenda do anything necessary to make the US a Socialist shithole became more important.

I checked on reasons to throw out an indictment, and they were along two lines.
One: A problem with the grand jury members. Either a member who didn't meet the qualifications, or an inadequate number of jurors voting on the indictment.
I presume this would also include your "faulty directions" as a jury error.
Two: Not giving the accused due process. Which Trump was afforded by inviting him to address the grand jury, which he did by sending his lawyer to testify.

Flash, this case in NYC is NOT a federal case, it is a State brought case, and is not the Biden administration.

In the Georgia case where we will likely see indictments is a State case as well, not Federal.

You don't the Biden filth is behind this?

I thought Hillary Clinton was behind it.

 

[Dragonlady]

That's because he's focused on the particulars of the legal case. Innocence and guilt are largely irrelevant when an attorney is commenting on apparent prosecutorial overreach.

Apparent prosecutorial overreach??? That's not what the 0P said. The 0P said the case was weak. So did the link. Even though they haven't seen the charges or the evidence. This is a prosecution about lying on his business records. How can it be over reach???

You're just trying to move the goal posts now that you've lost the argument.

 

[Care4all]

No, I don't think he is or anyone is....

But if as you think someone allegedly would be, which again, I do not agree, but a WHAT IF..... those Never Trumper Republicans involved in the Lincoln project are way, way way more ruthless and gutsy than any Democrat that I've ever seen!

 

[struth]

Nope

Seen Dershowitz act since OJ
He is just looking for attention

likely so, and he was able to get it thanks to the demafasict abuse of power and weapnization of the executive

how did he know about the charge? i guess the same way you claim to know what it’s about.

 

[Dragonlady]

I listen to the witness reports and actual news reports from the witnesses.

you don’t think other people like i don’t know the lawyer in rhe OP could do that?

and maybe with his legal training that you lack, form an opinion?

 

[airplanemechanic]

Nope

Yea we can tell because you made a complete ass of yourself by your previous comments to a video you never even watched.

Dersh was a law professor at Harvard. What are your qualifications to call him an idiot?

 

[airplanemechanic]

Dershowitz is hardly an unbiased observer.

Did you watch the video?

 

[airplanemechanic]

What he got for defending OJ……Publicity
What he got for defending Trump…..Publicity

You admit you didn't even watch the video in the OP so shut the fuck up and leave. Go suck Bidens little dick. Maybe you can get it hard.

Dersh is one of the most unbiased people I've ever heard speak. How dare he attack a politically biased legal case on a former president, huh?

Dershowitz is a hired gun and will spot whatever gets him the most attention
