@weldo1948, Thank you for mentioning that reclassification. I'm no accountant (retired healthcare) and I truly could not understand what the crime was. I couldn't figure out what law was violated. So bizarre. Any citizen has the right to question an election; and suddenly, it's a crime? This isn't the America I recognize.
Yes, GREAT COMMENT - THANK YOU. After watching Robert Gouveia, Esq. on youtube I also found out that it is rare to not have written juror's instructions. These were not jury instructions on a simple Did he steal Yes Or No? The jury instructions went on in a confusing menagerie for over 40 minutes and stated that the conviction did not have to be unanimous.
Help President Trump. Appeal this to Supreme Court, represent this appeal and make history with it Mr. Dershowitz! Your name will go down in History! Argue this case! Give it the old one-two!
be strong. do not let the democrats get to you. they want to call trump all names under the sun thats how they sleep at night. but what goes around comes around. you can bet the republicans will give the democrats a whiplashing. the future is open and its ours.
This judge belongs in prison for malfeasance, incompetence, and stupidity. Unfortunately, one cannot be sent to prison for stupidity, and that negates the other traits.
Dear Alan, 1. Bragg had No Standings because the language of the law states 'to conceal A CRIME' ... Pressing charges is only sound if the govt. knew what 'A crime' was BEFORE the jury told them. This is because 'A crime' differs from 'Any Applicable Crime'. And, 2. Procedurally, the judge dismissed the charge without noticing that he did by asking the jury to pick 'any crime' as long as they add up to '12 Crimes' forgetting that Bragg arrived without 'A crime' rather than 'Any Crime'. No 12 Jurors found Trump guilty of the 'A crime'. The verdict carries No Legal Standing.
Weakest for now...just wait...Team Democrat now sees that it can get away with overt judicial abuses. Having the country's leading legal scholar on their team is a huge bonus! Thanks Professor for your undying support of the Democrats!
Merchon isn't listed on the NYCourt website as a judge or acting judge...How did he get randomly picked from a panel for more than one of Trump's cases? Plus Steve Bannon's case? People are paying attention and questioning it.
I actually subscribed to a liberal channel. I do not necessarily agree with all of your views. However like you, I love the Constitution and the USA. And, I appreciate information that is based on that. Please continue to bring all sides and perspectives to your content. Thank you for your efforts.
Todd Blanche gave an interview in which he said the jurors seemed serious and attentive. They were vetted by the defense and the prosecution. They should not be dismissed cavalierly.
And how would feel about a jury pool from MTG's district trying JB after a Republican DA had campaigned on going after JB and had sued him over 100 times?
@@edwardb7811 And what I described could totally happen now that Democrats have done this, so again, if and when it does, how are you going to feel about it?
That was unexpected. I didn't think you'd elevate that garbage to such a level as being in existence. I suppose it exists, you said it's a case even if it shouldn't be.
Big time Jim Crow vibes. Predjudiced judge, 4 out of 12 required to convict, jury not sequestered in a blatently hostile community, etc, etc, etc. If he was black there would be marches and even riots. Straight out of 1950s Alabama.
Local prosecutors bringing charges for taxes isn't even how it works, anyway. If a federal or state agency thinks you underpaid for your taxes, they get in touch with you via letter and try to work it out with you before any charges are brought. Local prosecutors don't just bring charges all of a sudden.
Everybody repeat after me - There is no evidence of widespread courtroom manipulation. This is the safest most fair judicial system in history. I am probably just a verdict denier. I will accept the peaceful transfer of the verdict on all the other cases. Kumbaya, Kumbaya.
Professor Dershowitz, theres a prominent person that is saying if Trump is elected in November he could pardon himself of the state charges. He states that there is no law against that and that there is no precedent against that. Can you please elaborate further? Thank you.
I don't agree with that, because presidents can only pardon for federal convictions, not state convictions. The governor of each state has to pardon for state convictions. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that this will be thrown out by SCOTUS if it get that far, and I believe it will occur well before November, because they were pretty fast in ruling on the cases in which some states were trying to keep DT off their ballots.
I know you previously said that you only represent a client once, but if there's ever been an exception to the rule this is it. What could be more important to our country than this legal issue? You kind of implied in a previous video that somebody from his legal team or Trump himself reached out for a little legal assistance. I enjoy your videos..
Have you read the trial transcript? I saw a lawyer post that they have a copy and read it. It changed some of her opinions. Curious if that would add more clarification to all the issues?
Well, I read some of it, and when Costello was on the stand, the prosecution called "objection" before the defense had even finished asking a question. They said, "Is it true...," the prosecution objected, and the judge sustained the objection. Further, he got hostile toward Costello just for acting surprised at what had just transpired. If you read the transcript, then you would also have noticed the number of times the judge sustained the prosecution's objections. Finally, I imagine Dersh is pretty well familiar with the case, as he was in the courtroom himself when the incident I described above occurred.
Eventually yo7u will discover this case is not about politics, the justice system or attorneys or judges. This case is about one man (whom I happen to vote for and will again). And it is summed up in Proverbs, 6:32. “A man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.” And that, is exactly what happened.
I have just one question...As much as I admire Alan Dershowitz, I question, Why on earth would you vote for Biden, when indeed you see, write books about and continue to get air time about the wrongful law being set. I find it really offensive that you continue to state you will still vote Democrat. With all this quite vivid with your statements, I question the why, and the tie to your said written work (books). Please make a statement regarding this fully. I truly do not understand your logic, yet understand your law understanding of all this.
On the other hand, regardless of the merits of the case, Trump was asking for the results he received. You don’t antagonize the judge during the trial. You don’t go out of the court room and verbally attack the judge, his clerks, his daughter, witnesses, etc., during the trial and expect favorable rulings from the judge. I am sure that Trump’s attorneys had a heart attack every time Trump opened his mouth. Any other defendant would have been cited for contempt.
Do you hear yourself? You're arguing that even an innocent man should be treated unfairly just for expressing his opinion that he's being treated unfairly. That's not what the US is supposed to be about. We're supposed to be able to criticize our government officers without fear of retribution. Also, judges are supposed to be objective and rule based on the facts and law, not whether or not they like someone or like someone's behavior outside of the specific charges for which a defendant is charged. There are very specific rules about prejudicing a jury against a defendant by bringing up other parts of a defendant's life that go beyond the specific charges. Is a judge not also supposed to remain objective and unbiased about a defendant?
He didn't say that. He said it might not be possible to overturn it in a NYC appellate court, which is why he recommended to the Trump team that they take the appeal to the New York state appeals court. The idea is to get the case out of NYC.

As a past corporate chair of the Audit Committee, this “accounting error” would be “reclassified” when discovered. It’s routine.
