[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The verdicts have a stronger than normal chance of being reversed.

It is my understanding that all three of the possible crimes (tax evasion, violation of federal election campaign contributions,and violation of New York state election laws) were given in the jury instructions and the trial judge ruled that the jurors did not need to be unanimous as to which of three charged crimes elevated the misdemeanors to felonies. Seems like a critical flaw in a legal system which requires a unanimous jury for a criminal conviction.

This also violates the 6th Amendment to the US Constitution as defendant was unaware of with which crime he was actually charged.

Under what authority does a local district attorney charge one with a federal offense ?[/quote]
You can read the law here: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/175.10

It doesn't specify that the other crime must be a state crime. It doesn't specify that he has to be convicted or even charged for the crime - there are various reasons this might happen (they decide not to prosecute, statute of limitations expires, etc.)

Trump is very much aware of the crime he was actually charged with: Falsifying business records.

Which, even if he did that, would be a misdemeanor.  And, a misdemeanor in which the statute of limitations had expired.  [/quote]

Why do you want someone as president who is so utterly dishonest? If he cheats in one area he’s going to cheat in another. Guaranteed. [/quote]
