Judge orders Trump to pay nearly $355 million in civil fraud trial

He doesn't have to request a jury trial, you moron. It's automatic.

NYS does indeed require a jury trial as per the 7A of the federal constitution. THINK

You are wrong. Oh and stupid.

There are a subset of cases that are DESIGNATED as bench (judge only) cases and the main elements of this are one of them.

Again because you are stupid you will continue to disagree and be wrong.


Why Trump's fraud trial in New York doesn't have a jury

Former President Trump has repeatedly complained about the lack of a jury in his New York civil fraud trial, but his own legal team appears to have failed to request one.

Why it matters: Trump has claimed it's "unfair" that the judge in the case opted for a bench trial, without a jury. But the court docket shows that while Attorney General Letitia James filed a document requesting a bench trial, Trump's lawyers never filed any corresponding document requesting a jury.

- If Trump's team had requested a jury, then Judge Arthur Engoron would have had to consider both sides' requests...

- At the beginning of the trial, Engoron said that neither side requested a jury, ...


Our super power is that magats are stupid. :laugh:
 
This is a good swift kick where it hurts cheapo Trump the worst.

Agreed. Break him financially. Make sure the entire planet knows he's a loser. Maybe he'll decide to OD on Adderall and save everyone, including his own family, a lot of grief.

The 7A says trump has an absolute right to a jury trial. Judges can't change that. You want to change the 7A, then you have to go thru the amending process.
 
And Trump has to post 9% worth of interest on the $355MM up front to cover the first years interest. And has to add 9% more each year that the appeals drag on.
Thanks, I thought it might be the same terms for appeal.
 
I, with just cause, blame Trump for a lot of things.

I'm not sure, however, if it's his fault
for being a white [with a definite orange tint] person
who can't dance.

They call you a "poor sport" if you're not willing to embarrass yourself trying.:)

As i said, you nagats stupidity is our super power, and thus you will simply keep repeating something you do not understand. These cases in NYS and other states happen via bench trial, all the time, and you seem to think no one has thought to take it to the SC. That is because you are stupid.

And once again, Trump's lawyer FAILED to ask for a jury trial regardless. Even in cases where a person does have a right to a bench trial, a bench trial is an option. You would not be denied a 'right' to a jury trial simply because you had to ask for it to get it. If you read 7A it DOES NOT say you must be given a jury trial by default. It says you must have a right to a jury trial.

If NYS wanted to say all such trials in 'this area' will be a bench trials by default but we preserve your 7A right by allowing you to request a jury trial, that is not a denial of the right, simply because you have to ask.
 
He passed on it. Why do you think Trump is so fucking stupid that if he wanted a jury trial he wouldn't get one?

What's REALLY dumb is that it's innocent people who should request a judge trial,

[or the truly non-liable defendant in a civil trial].

A judge is more likely to come up with the right decision.
I've served on juries. I can say that with confidence.
 
What I want to see is Trump v. Biden poll numbers in say a week or two. My bet is Trump's are up and Biden's are down...
 
Yes it makes President Trump all the more sympathetic, more in tune with the average guy on the street who has been a victim of an unjust legal process.

Defrauding a state government to the tune of $355 million makes Trump "more in tune with the average guy"? How desperate do you have to be before you start posting self-affirming, delusional bullshit like that?
