No need to appeal if this is true. The judge will more than likely have to declare a mistrial

Ridiculous

You're talking about state law, and this is federal law

It's definitely fraud if you have a person filling out ballots in other people's names without them knowing about it. How is that not fraud?

Yeah, it was in the works before and 2 courts declined to prosecute it, one being the very court that it's being tried in now, the other being the Federal Election Commission. I'm not imagining anything. That's just the facts bud

The statute of limitations ran up on the bookkeeping charge, so Bragg claimed that the false bookkeeping was done in order to hide another supposed crime which allows him to try and make a felony out of it, but they haven't proved the first or second crime. Some say the second crime was election interference but the problem with that theory is that Trump didn't sign the bookkeeping documents until well after the election was already over, so that wouldn't make any sense. We've basically just gotta wait until the judge gives his directions to the jury to find out what this second crime is

You obviously don't understand how it works. If you have a corrupt jusge and prosecutor, you can absolutely bring cases to court that doesn't belong in court. They have the power to do so. The judge doesn't have some boss standing over his shoulder telling him what he's allowed to do or not do. They've got the power to just about anything they want. The judge can decide what evidence to allow and what evidence not to allow and right now, the judge doesn't want the defense to allow an expert witness to testify and he has that power. The jury could decide in the end that Trumps not guilty and the judge even has the power to override the jury verdict and impose a sentence anyway. Sure, it's not ethical, but he can certainly do it. The powers above him don't come into play until the case is over and there is appeal made by the defense, and everything the judge did could be overturned. Our Justice system isn't perfect at all and a judge having that much power is a big problem in my opinion and it largely goes unnoticed most of the time because like you, a lot people think that if it's the court system it must be legit, but there's more people waking up to it now that they're using against political opponents so we'll see if something changes down the road but as it stands a corrupt judge and prosecutor can destroy a completely innocent person with no problem

Well why do believe that Cohen is honest now, but lied every other time in the past? Stormy came out the third time and said they slept together again to try and get some money, even telling her attorney to hurry it up before the election or she'll lose her leverage to get paid. The point is that her and Cohen both just aren't credible witnesses at all. They're both making a living on Trump being guilty so they've got everything to gain from saying whatever they need to say to keep the money flowing
