Everyone should know by now that claims by Trump about what he will do are highly suspect. Better to wait and see what he actually does, that is, if he does anything."Donald Trump’s lawyers will use... as the basis of their appeal....
People (even jurists) have political biases. Among democrats Trump is guilty (prejudged) of everything he's accused of. Among Republicans, he's given a benefit of doubt. Present me with evidence that this claim is not valid.
Apparently Habba learned her lesson this time.

"Donald Trump’s lawyers will use an “insane” and previously unknown “conflict of interest” between E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer and the judge presiding over her defamation case against the former president as the basis of their appeal seeking to toss the eye-popping $83.3 million jury verdict, The Post has learned.
Trump lawyer Alina Habba said she was unaware Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan worked together in the early 1990s at the same powerhouse white-shoe law firm until Saturday, when asked about it by Post columnist Charles Gasparino, who was told by a source that the judge was once Roberta Kaplan’s “mentor.
“It was never disclosed. It’s insane and so incestuous,” Habba said, insisting neither the 79-year-old judge nor Roberta Kaplan, 57, who aren’t related, disclosed the “conflict of interest” and a violation of judicial ethics rules.
Roberta Kaplan worked at Paul, Weiss Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison in Midtown from 1992 to 2016, before leaving to become a founding partner of Kaplan Hecker & Fink, according to her LinkedIn page.
“This is news to us,” she continued. “We are going to include this in our appeal and take appropriate measures. The fact it wasn’t disclosed is an ethics violation.”
During her early years at Paul Weiss, she worked as associate of the firm at the same time as Judge Kaplan, who was a partner there until 1994 when he was appointed to the federal bench by then-President Bill Clinton."

E. Jeanne Carroll probably shouldn't be counting her millions yet.
And so, the appeal process has begun and at least one reason cited in the article is that the "good judge" must have for forgotten to mention a conflict of interest and went ahead committed a violation of judicial ethical rules. Justice my ass.
Not a lawyer but I have mad Google skills.Correct me if I'm wrong, but jury trials are the default in New York in defamation cases where damages are sought. Especially when damages are measured in millions.

Depending on the jurisdiction and applicable law, a party may have an automatic right to a jury trial on certain claims in federal court. However, a party still must properly demand a jury trial in most cases. If a party does not demand a jury trial at all, or does not timely and properly serve and file a written jury trial demand, a bench trial will likely result, with rare exceptions. Parties who desire a jury trial should therefore demand one early on in a case.
Yes, benefit of a doubt. It's the hallmark of our justice system. Even Biden deserves it, and that's ridiculous considering all the aisle cleanups his administration has had to do. He never talked to his son about his business. Then he wasn't in his business. Benefit of a doubt? Sure.
Benefit of the doubt?

Is this the badgering phase of the debate?I have already made 2 posts. Where'd you go @trixare4kids
as i have mentioned before, it appears to be a drive by post. Perhaps @trixare4kids should think before she posts if she doesn't want to discuss. I mean, were at 7pages now.Is this the badgering phrase of the debate?
Isn't there enough content to keep you posting? Take the last word (if you must) on such a trivial point. Then come back and actually make a point.as i have mentioned before, it appears to be a drive by post. Perhaps @trixare4kids should think before she posts if she doesn't want to discuss.

Man, Habba's really throwing spaghetti against the wall and hoping something sticks. I get the feeling she's going to cost Trump more money....
Gotta love the hyperbole too:
Oh, and great way to admit her and her team didn't do their homework before the case.
I’d take damn near anyone’s word over his.Her word against his, type of world.
What did they call that over at the Hannity boards..."Flouncing out of the room..."?This poster does this more times than not. It's a diversionary tactic when starting to lose the argument.
And/or she's trying to save face.It gives her more opportunity to pout and huff in front of a camera.
Totally irrelevant to the thread but there was a speck on my screen and i read the last bit as:Does it really matter?
She’s just the latest in a long line of Trump hangers on and wannbees.
And, she’s watched Trump’s behavior long enough to know that the only way you stay on the train (and get paid) is if you loudly declare your filial piety to you liege lord.
Gave me a chuckleif you loudly declare your filial piety to you liege LARD.
So I’d like to make a point.Then come back and actually make a point.
wait. Trump. You told us you only hire the best.
That's a fake post by Trump that I posted here and then corrected myself. My fault.wait. Trump. You told us you only hire the best.
