Massive Freudian Slip By The View's Sunny Hostin - Exposes True Reason For Indictment

Part of the DA’s job is to send a message. That is what they get elected to do. Their actions send a message to those who would consider breaking the law.
Wrong.

Type What is the job of a prosecutor in a criminal trial? in your searchbar.

You will discover that nowhere does it say that a prosecutor's job is to "send out messages" .

Hostin projected her own misconception(s) about what is expected of a prosecutor in a criminal trial.

Any improprieties by the Court could potentially raise some HUGE red flags, and compel the defense to motion to drop all charges.
 
Wrong.

Not wrong. The DA oversees all prosecutions against crime in their district, they do not personally prosecute every case themselves. They set the tone and the message about how crime will be treated in their district.

"Your honor, I move to dismiss the case against my client."
"On what grounds?"
"Some rando on The View said it was being done to send out a message."
"Does this rando work for the prosecutor?"
"No."
"Is she a family member of the prosecutor?"
"No."
"Then why is her opinion relevant?"
"Because my Yahoo news feed told me to be mad about this."
:LOL:
🤡
 
This was a most unfortunate slip of the tongue for Hostin. But it revealed that Trump's claim of a Witch Hunt is confirmed beyond any doubt.

This is a partial transcript from today's The View show.

Alyssa Farah Griffin: "He [Trump] is not going to jail over this."

Sunny Hostin: "I will tell you why you're wrong. Prosecutors are not only in the business of prosecuting crimes - we're in the business of sending out a message."

This cinches it for Trump. Bragg's indictment is politically motivated, and now the whole world knows it. The toothpaste is finally out of the tube.

Of course, Hostin's Freudian slip is not admittable in a Court of law, but it is damning evidence in the court of public opinion. That's where Trump usually prevails.

There is zero % that Trump can get a fair trial in NYC. Or anywhere in New York, IMO. The judge will be compelled to grant a change of venue.
LOL! Victrump! Honor him at Easter with a gift of new, rubber coated crucifixion nails to replace the ones pinning his wrists to the crossmember
of his cross! Made an example of for being the only one protecting his deplorable cult and because of his fantastic policies while he was in the white house.

This is the same View the Right disparages regularly.
Yea - the hypocrisy is absolutely hilarious.
I love the smell of childish desperation 😂
 
I disagree. If a presiding judge determines that the Court is biased - for whatever reason - the judge is compelled to recuse himself OR change the venue.

You mean "the Jury" not "the Court." Prosecutors are OBVIOUSLY biased against the defendant, it's their job. Defenders are biased TOWARDS the defendent, as that's their job too. The judge is neutral, unless you can prove on appeal that they weren't.

Rather than trying to guess in advance whether a NY jury will be biased, all the judge has to do is prohibit either side from asking jurors for party allegiance or how they previously voted. If the prosecution can't eliminate Republican jurors, the chances that there will be none of them are tiny.

We can actually calculate that. It's the inverse of the chance that 100% of the jury are Democrats. It's 0.37% and that's not even counting the significant chance of politically neutral jurors (ie they accepted jury selection but didn't vote in 2020.) Who you should have no objection to.

You're panicking about nothing. Trump will get a fair trial ... perhaps that's what bothers you? You'd rather have him tried in Wyoming where where he WOULDN'T?

From somewhere in the courtroom someone yells: "Not just some rando on The View. Sunny Hostin!!!!"

So Bragg and The View are in some kind of conspiracy? Is there pizza involved and a basement?

Ugbot-AI answers: "Yes, but don't try to keep up on the white wine. The girls will beat you with practice."

No, I meant the Court.

If a judge (or any officer of the Court - including the prosecutor) has personal or business connections with the accused, then that officer is compelled to notify the judge who will excuse the officer from his or her duties in the court. (including the judge himself).


Prosecutors are OBVIOUSLY biased against the defendant, it's their job. Defenders are biased TOWARDS the defendent, as that's their job too. The judge is neutral, unless you can prove on appeal that they weren't.
exactly.

My objections are irrelevant. This criminal case is unprecedented in American history. One tiny misstep by the prosecution, or the judge, and the defense will motion to drop all charges, which I expect to happen at some point in the trial.

Panicking? LOL Nobody's panicking. The thread serves two purpose only -
1) to show that it's possible for a prosecutor to believe that he or she has an obligation to "send out messages", as Hostin claimed. In fact they DO NOT have this obligation.
2) It will be virtually impossible to get a jury of 12 impartial jurors in NYC. . . especially since there are eight more months for the juror pool to become tainted.

That's it. No panicking. :)

You're following *Rump's MO by trying to plant the seed of doubt about potential jurors' impartiality. He is consistent in his methods, has already slandered the DA, the judge, and the judge's family and he will without a doubt make outrageous claims about the jurors.

His upcoming rape trial in NYC on Apr. 25 will test your theory.

That applies to judge recusal, but you said that the judge is obliged to move the trial interstate. There is no reason for that if recusal of the judge is enough.

exactly.

Wishful thinking on your part.

I'm not going to try to explain statistics to you. Just take my word for it: the odds of 12 jurors including ZERO Republicans, in a state where 37.3% voted for Trump, are 0.37%

Assuming you're right that Democrats are all unfair jurors, it follows logically that Republicans are too. It only takes one to acquit. The chances of there being one or more Republican jurors are 99.63%

That's it. No panicking. :)

Reacting with a thread, to something a panelist on a third rate talk show said, is panicking. You're grasping at straws, trying to prove in advance that "the Court" is not fit to hold the trial.

You don't like math, I get that. But you have a choice: do the math for yourself, or accept that I got it right. Math isn't susceptible to "counter narratives."

Just curious - what is the Statute of Limitations for rape in NYC? I thought is was 20 years, but the alleged rape happened in the mid 1990s, so the Statute would have long expired.

I don't know for NY, however it is quite common that there is no statute of limitations when the alleged victim was underage at the time.
 
No - I think the woman who was given awards for prosecuting child sex crimes probably appreciates the message sent by prosecutors. And how important they are.

She wouldn’t allow child sex crime perpetrators to get away with it - no matter who they were.

The message sent in prosecuting Trump is that no one is above the law. Any law.

That’s a pretty important message to be sent - no matter the outcome of any prosecution and Hostin is right when she called it out.
Nobody believes that message. It's pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain who is and who is not above the law.
 
Uhhh...The cackling hens on The View don't really speak for anyone in this case. I mean, they are correct about what they said, but they are not anyone of standing to be used as representative of anything.
The view gets strong ratings. There is a large swath of America that agrees with their perspective. It's foolish to ignore what they say even if what they say is foolish.

 
Bragg's indictment is politically motivated, and now the whole world knows it.
Actually everyone knew it even before The Donald was dragged into court.

Tyrants in Egypt, Iran, Russia, China, Syria, Uganda, etc., are probably surprised that he is even still alive.

The head of opposition parties in those countries never emerge from the courthouse.
