CantaloupeLifestyleTrump's Civil Trial Has No Jury Because 'Nobody Asked' for One, Judge Explains
kersplooshTL;DR, the AG asked for a bench trial, the Trump’s defense team didn’t respond, and so Trump gets a bench trial. It’s possible that a jury trial would have been disallowed in this particular case under New York law, but the defense didn’t even bother to ask.
Whelp, that’s on your people, Donald. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You know you messed up when you run through so many good lawyers that the only people who are still willing to defend you are total goofballs.
My understanding is, with possibly one or two short term exceptions, he hasn’t even had mediocre attorneys for years now. None of the big firms have wanted anything to do with him since before he was president.
canthidiumThere was a good LegalEagle video the other day where he ranked all of Trumps lawyers.
Ranking Trump's Terrible Lawyers
Ha! “There is no S tier.” Love his videos.
I loved that the “A” tier was just people who didn’t go on every news channel blabbing about their cases, lmao.
Trump is going to be calling public defenders. Better call Saul.
Call Jacob, and Ronnie🎶!
(Sorry, only folks in Los Angeles will get that. But that’s a lot of folks.)
“The Best People.”
AKA racists
Well, who wants to work for a known rapist and fraudster?
People who don’t give a fuck about the law, that’s who.
Honestly surprised he gets anyone to work for him without getting paid up front
How deeply satisfying
proleThis is just so he can claim, later down the line, that it wasn’t fair because it was just one judge and not a jury blah blah
Like a jury would prevent him from claiming bias… He already has ranted against juries and grand juries.
