His lawyer fucked up the jury trial. He was denied nothing during the whole trial.He was denied a jury trial in the James case and got a bench trial where a single judge, not a jury, a single--by his own admission, Trump hating judge--rendered a verdict. That same judge denied Trump witnesses and used land values that were pure fantasy he made up on his own. A total sham of a trial.
In the criminal case, Bragg had to twist NY state law into a pretzel with legal reasoning never seen for that statute before to bring the case.
In the case of what's-her-name, the state of NY changed the statute to give her a 1-year window to get past the statute of limitations so the case could be brought. No amount of dissembling on your part will persuade me that the state--who's politicians HATE Trump with a capital HATE--didn't target that change in state law for that one year which then reverted to the previous law just to get Trump. They did, end of story.
Trump changed the property values for years, up for loans, down for taxes.
