What is the status of Trump's appeals, and what are his chances for overturning convictions?

[kyzr]

Don't listen to pundits (which is what Turley is). Try reading the court documents.

Trump was not charged with an statute of limitations expired misdemeanor which would be New York Penal Code Section 175.05, he was charged with a felony well within the statute of limitations under New York State Penal Code 175.10.

Don't believe what others tell you, verify actual records to the greatest extent possible. Takes more effort but you end up incorrect less. WW

1. The definition of falsifying business records in the 1st degree is NOT "court records". Publishing a Bill of Particulars with the actual crime is needed, it was not provided.

2. Turley is a LAW PROFESSOR at GW university. Dershowitz, from Harvard Law agrees with Turley.

3. (from the buzz kill Turley article, post #15)
"The indictment claimed a violation under New York’s election law 17-152 that the falsification of business records were committed to further another crime as an unlawful means to influence the election. However, in a maddeningly circular theory, that other crime could be the falsification of business records. It could also be violations of federal election and taxation laws, which Trump was never charged with, let alone convicted of. "

4. If I understand your argument you believe that Bragg and Merchan followed the Law and Trump's 34 felonies will NOT be overturned on appeal, correct? I'll take the other side and say they will, eventually. We'll need to wait and see how it plays out.

The statute that Trump was charged with (Section 175.10) was clearly laid out in the indictment.

Yes the additional information in the accompany explaintory document was provide both to the court and to Trump when the indictment was filed. Under New York law the Statement of Facts does not have to be included in the indictment.

The indictment and Statement of Facts true are not 'proof', they are explanations of the circumstances and the case to be brought. The "proof" to support the indictment was presented at trial. Through witness testimony, social media posts, video, audio, emails, business documents, etc.

2. Turley is a LAW PROFESSOR at GW university. Dershowitz, from Harvard Law agrees with Turley.

Turley and Dershowitz are Trump sycophants and spout anything that gets them in the news and not bound by the code of legal ethics required as officers of the court in this case. They wills say anything that gets them air time.

This is a perfect example. Trump wasn't charged under New York Election law mentioned above, he was charged with Felonious Falsification of Business records under New York Penal Code Section 175.10.

I have no idea if Trump's conviction for 34 felonies will be over turned on appeal.

Will it be overturned based on the evidence presented at trial didn't prove he was guilty of the crime charge in the case? No.

Will it be overturned because Trump is guilty and as a billionaire he can afford his lawyers who might get a mistrial declared because of a technicality? That is possible. It's not just outcome for his crimes, but it is possible.
