As an aside Trump defamed E Jean Carroll again yesterday. As there is nothing to stop him being sued successfully for a third time it raises questions as to whether he is unable to restrain himself or whether he thinks his backers have bottomless pockets. Apparently it would have cost him around 3-5 million in fees for the bond irrespective of the surety.
I wondering the next judgement will be bigger.

"All that's left". So not finished then. If he can get the appeals, and then stay them, then he can delay punishment for several more years.

My suspicion would be that these cases requiring bonds to appeal are the kind that don't stop just because you are president.
That's obviously not going to fly.
Re: Indecision 2024
To get appeals, he has to raise issues that are appealable, and have the appeals courts accept the case - this has not happened yet, so there's currently no appeals.IvanV wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 9:13 am"All that's left".

During the cases, there was a lot of commentary about how his counsel was not preserving the most plausible issues for appeal. The default position of the courts is that the cases are over.
Re: Indecision 2024
A court case is never over until it is over. And you agree there are still some things that haven't happened yet. So he still has some plays. They may not be very good plays, but he has some plays and they will cause further delay. And who knows, maybe even get an actual appeal to create even further delay. The punishment will not be enforced until we have gone through this. This is valuable to him, even if these are not cases that he can stop when he becomes president.dyqik wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 10:43 amTo get appeals, he has to raise issues that are appealable, and have the appeals courts accept the case - this has not happened yet, so there's currently no appeals.

But maybe the most valuable thing of all is getting someone to post a bond for him. Because maybe he can further delay payment from his own resources that way, which is likely valuable to him.
So often we have heard his legal options are not good, his lawyers are poor, he has made legal mistakes, he has messed this up, etc, etc. But mostly he has managed to delay the things he most wants to delay.

Looks like the transcript in the Robert Hur report on Biden shows a little bit of partisanship going on. Quelle Surprise.

Re: Indecision 2024
Still strikes me as odd this one... I could understand the commotion if they were on opposite sides in the case, but they're on the same side and their decision to play hide the sausage with each other has no bearing on Trump's guilt.

Especially as under Georgia law husband and wife lawyers can be on either side of the adversarial divide in a case and it is considered totally acceptable!

Re: Indecision 2024
I think the idea is that the prosecutor should be independent of the district attorney, as a safeguard for defendants. It's pretty common for criminal cases to be harsher on the prosecution than the defense (the standard of proof being the most obvious example).Stranger Mouse wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 2:37 pmEspecially as under Georgia law husband and wife lawyers can be on either side of the adversarial divide in a case and it is considered totally acceptable!

Re: Indecision 2024
So no-one has done anything inappropriate, and none of the evidence was strong enough to prove any wrongdoing, but someone has to step away from the case because of "perceptoins".
Seems like a sensible ruling for this particular case, but the double standard here is RIDICULOUS.
Still, at least it clears the way for Fani Willis to go after Trump head on.

Now that he’s being seen more, it’ll put off most of those who aren’t already in his cult.
He can’t win an election by appealing to an ever narrowing base of loonies.
