Don's chances of a successful appeal are not good. Does it matter?

Trump Has Few Ways to Overturn His Conviction as a New York Felon​

New York appellate courts rarely overturn a jury decision without evidence of serious errors. The judge in Donald J. Trump’s case closed off many avenues.

“This is long from over,” Donald J. Trump, the former president and current felon, declared on Thursday, moments after a Manhattan jury convicted him on 34 counts of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal.

Mr. Trump, the first American president to be branded a criminal, is banking on the jury not having the final word on his legal fate or his political fortunes. He will now appeal, both to a higher court and the American people, seeking to contain the fallout as he campaigns for the White House.

But even if the former — and possibly future — president persuades voters to toss his conviction aside, the appellate courts might not be so sympathetic.

Although Mr. Trump proclaimed at a news conference on Friday that he had plenty of ammunition to overturn what he called “this scam,” several legal experts cast doubt on his chances of success, and noted that the case could take years to snake through the courts.

Talk of an appeal is largely just Kabuki theater by the carnival barker known as The Orange One. It satisfies The Following's psychological need for their favorite felon's absolution but in reality it's really just a way to bash the verdict, and thus the system of justice.

Failure is likely, but does it matter? Surely not to the devoted minions. In their eyes Dear Leader is incapable of committing a crime as evidenced by their collective freak out over 34 unanimous findings of guilt. Unanimous because HE DID IT. He did exactly what he was charged with doing. No amount of mental gymnastics and Orwellian spin can change that. Trump is a convicted felon for a singular reason. HE DID IT.

You do understand an opinion piece from the leftist NY Times will have a predictable opinion, right?

Cleaning trash along the roads.

It will bring joy to the hearts of millions around the world to see Don in an orange jump suit. Not to mention, imagine what he would look like without being able to his hair done and without that orange makeup.

 

[g5000]

Countless legal scholars say you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Nope.

I'm sure Fox News was able to find some scummy lawyers at the bottom of the barrel to whine in unison with the fat bitch boi, but you are not thinking clearly.

This was a trial of a former president. Because of that, extreme care was taken to dot every i and cross every t.

The judge disallowed a great deal of the prosecution's material, choosing to err on the side of caution.

Send Trump your nickels and dimes so he can throw them away on a totally fruitless appeal.

And remember how you all shrieked with so much certainty there was no way Trump was going to be convicted. How quickly you have forgotten how stupid you were then, and already you are pivoting to the next stupid expectation!

It's not an opinion piece per se. It was on the front page. They interviewed some legal experts familiar with the NY state appeals process.

Exactly. That point was noted in the article.

IOW, it's an op-ed.

It's not an opinion piece per se. It was on the front page. They interviewed some legal experts familiar with the NY state appeals process.

Legal experts selected by the NY Times who would be participants in the goals of the opinion piece. That was predictable.

Trump won't spend a day in jail for this conviction.

One of the other three indictments, maybe. But not this one.

He'll most likely get unsupervised probation.

However, he is still violating his gag order and attacking the judge in public. The same judge who is going to sentence him.

What a dumb fuck.

He's trying to bait the judge so he can whine like a bitch and play the victim if he reaps his deserved reward.

And the rubes will fall for it.

It's Okay If Trump Does It!™

 

[leftwinger]

How do you figure? The majority of the Supreme Court are Little Trumpsters. Who is going to turn against Trump? Alito? Thomas? Kav?

Two of those already “turned against” him and American people almost on every possible chance they had.

Did you steal that from the Joy Reid Clown Show?

Did you steal that from the Joy Reid Clown Show?

I have no idea who that is.

Unlike you tards, I think for myself.

 

[g5000]

At this rate Democrats are going to get Trump elected emperor of the world!

These posts are going to be so much fun to bump after the election.

 

[SeaMajor7]

I can hardly think of a more disparaging thing to say about The Following than that.

Oooooo, tHe foLLoWiNg.

Thiis will go to the USSC. NY appeals judges may well be to scared to do anything that would benefit Trump even with all the holes in this two bit phony case.

On what specific grounds do you think it will be overturned?

 

[Lesh]

How does a state court ruling get to the SCOTUS??

Nope.

They were SO counting on a hung jury

Nope

 

[BluesLegend]

There are no doubt differences of opinion regarding an appeal. But in NY they are rarely successful unless there were glaring errors during the trial........of which there were none.

Trump can appeal to the Trump SCOTUS.

 

[Lesh]

Trump can appeal to the Trump SCOTUS.

“Trump SCOTUS”

Wow

 

[Lesh]

So we have a SCOTUS owned by a convicted felon and rapist

If ever there was cause for a Court expansion this is it
