They could have charged him with anything, and a New York jury would have convicted him. The Salem Witch trials were more legitimate than a New York City jury.
People in NYC are very unhappy about crime, migrants, prices of food and other things, schools and many other things yet they seem unable to see a connection between the people and party they vote for and all the things wrong with their city. Why can’t they figure that out?
Problem is it will have to go to the New York /court of Appeals, the justices of who have all been appointed by far-Left Democrats. He may not get a fair trial there either. He could appeal it into the Federal system as a Civil Rights case and he may get a fair hearing there. The Feds can set aside the state decision I think. Any lawyers here?
It has to be absurdly obvious what has been going on to anybody outside of the system. But I'm beginning to think there are many countries just as captive to the transnational interests at the core of this, if not more so.
More millions he will have to pay. I know he was wealthy but probably most of the wealth was paper, not cash.
No ethical violation. Willis is the one being accused. Her position in this proceeding is like that of the defendant in a trial, rather than a witness against/for someone else. I think the latter is what you are thinking about. Where witnesses aren't supposed to get together, in order to "get their stories straight." I think it's in the 6th Amendment? Where an accused has the right to confront their accuser?
If he wins after an appeal he could potentially sue the City, AG, DA and even the judge. I’m not saying that he would much less win if he did but the potential is still there.
Is anyone else getting eerie vibes reminiscent of the worst excesses of the McCarthy era? Or Hoover's FBI and other shameful things like judicial collusion with vice-based organized crime? I think history is going to judge the bad actors of today very harshly. Er, assuming that obfuscation and censorship doesn't erase too many tracks and connections before historians try assembling the puzzle.
Interesting information from the judge's opinion regarding the Fani Willis outcome. Pathetic that he believes this yet did not rule against her. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/fani-willis-hit-judge-criticism-182118652.html Fani Willis won the court battle to stay on in the Georgia election-meddling case against Donald Trump, but the judge’s opinion contained damning statements that could be “devastating” to Willis’ career, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said Friday. Judge Scott McAfee dismissed the claim, but questioned Willis’ professionalism, character and truthfulness in a “bruising” opinion that would be a “career ender for a normal prosecutor,” Honig said. “These are really serious findings by the judge about the D.A., and these are all verbatim from the opinion,” Honig said. “First of all, there is a quote, ‘significant appearance of impropriety that infects the prosecution team.’ Second, ‘a tremendous lack in judgment.’ Third, ‘the unprofessional manner of the D.A.’s testimony.’ Fourth, ‘the odor of mendacity remains.’” Honig said the judge also suggested that Willis cast “racial aspersions on the defendants.” The CNN wonk saved for last what he thought was the most devastating comment of all: “There are reasonable questions about whether the D.A. testified untruthfully.” “Any one of these statements by a judge would be a career ender for a normal prosecutor,” Honig said. “To have an on-the-record finding that there are reasonable questions about whether you lied under oath? That would be devastating.”
Two different legal systems though. What would happen if Donald Trump, Jr. dropped his laptop at the repair shop with "stuff" on it? Hillary Clinton willfully destroyed computer data that was under subpoena and suffered nothing for that.
Added to that list is the fact that Fani Willis’ honesty isn’t questionable; she lied whilst under oath so where’s the perjury charge? The only reason Fani is still on the case is that the judge doesn’t want another prosecutor who might drop it entirely.
