Merchan continues to demonstrate his woeful lack of legal knowledge by prosecuting issues on which both he and his court have absolutely no jurisdiction to rule.
Juan Merchan is a Colombian. Rule of Law is not part of his cultural heritage. Definitely a DEI appointee. He has ethical challenges. His daughter's political activities (and his) should have forced him to recluse himself from the Trump case, but again, Rule of Law in the rearview mirror with this guy. Banana Republic indeed.
Thank you for the absolute obliteration of Merchan he richly deserves. The breathtaking audacity of Merchan’s hijacking of our legal system to attempt to jail Trump for life makes Bernie Madoff’s antics look modest.
One other point which I believes exposes Merchan for the monster he is: Bragg only indicted Trump for alleged misconduct which, the indictment clearly shows, began in 2017 when Trump was in the WH and the election campaign long since completed. How does a defendant improperly influence an event that already happened and where he had zero motivation to defraud anyone? Merchan never answers that fundamental question.
The jurors should be punished for violating their oath requiring them to consider only the law and facts in evidence. In a case where the outcome would both hugely impact the forthcoming elections and would be the first-ever criminal verdict involving an American president, it wouldn’t seem too much to ask the jury to deliberate scrupulously on the huge and byzantine agglomeration of facts and law piled up over many weeks. The jury - in what was a farce —deliberated barely more than 1 day to reach its verdict! Their hasty action is all the more suspect given remarkable credibility problems of demonstrably mendacious witnesses like Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels. There can be no doubt the jurors were prepared to “hang” Trump from day 1 and failed to wvaluate Trump’s defense in their rush to judgment.
Finally, the jurors must be interrogated because no one but them knows the precise conduct and crime of which they found Trump guilty .How does Trump appeal without knowing what made him guilty? How do NY business proprietors know what to do or not do to avoid being indicted?
These 12 people disgraced NY and failed utterly to do justice when it was urgently needed.
Merchan needs to pay for his narcissistic abuse of DJT and the rule of law.
The D.C. judicial system is in the sewer.

Juan Merchan can do anything he wants. No one is stopping him. The Constitution is just a piece of paper apparently

This won’t stand for much longer.
