I don't think there is a single MAGA poster on this board who read the decision. The decision was comprehensive and dealt with all the issues involved. Of course, it does require that you care about the judge's rationale as opposed to spouting off inanity based on your biases and ignorance.Three for you:
Did you read the indictment, the state rule, and the decision?
Please try and stick with the facts.
63(12): The statute does not require intent to commit fraud or anyone to be harmed by the fraud, and it does not give Trump the inherent right to a jury trial, with legal experts noting to CNN that while civil lawsuits that request monetary damages are entitled to a jury trial, cases seeking other “equitable relief”—meaning penalties that force the defendant to take or refrain from taking some kind of action, rather than just paying money—can be decided by a judge alone, which is more common with 63(12) violations and is the case in this trial.

The list of Trump's legal losses in New York is already lengthy:
---
- In December 2022, a Manhattan jury found two Trump Organization companies guilty of 17 felonies related to tax evasion. The company was ordered to pay a $1.6 million fine and the case landed its former CFO behind bars.
- On March 30, 2023, a New York grand jury in Manhattan indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsification of business records.
- Five weeks later, a federal jury in New York found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation in one of two civil lawsuits filed by the writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump was ordered to pay her $5 million.
- In September 2023, a state judge found Trump and his company liable for a decade-long fraud scheme in a pretrial ruling.
- In January, another federal jury found Trump liable for defaming Carroll. The jury awarded her another $83 million.
- On Friday, the judge in the civil fraud case issued his final ruling, saying Trump must pay the state $354 million, plus nearly $100 million in interest.
