Usually this would cause deep scandal and outrage but with Trump his narcissistic warp frames the conviction (All 34 of them) in such a way to be seen as a martyr a victim of the ‘swamp’.
It’s mind boggling Murcanman doesn’t see him as the fucking swamp but as they say in Cardiff, there’s lovely for you.

Boyo

This is going to be appealed.
I am not sure how this works in the US.
In the UK you can only appeal if there is new evidence that was not heard by the jury.
Looks like in the US you can appeal if you don’t like the verdict

Aren’t there other grounds for appeal ?

Something that’s sadly getting a bit lost in all of this is just how remarkable it is for 12 ordinary people to reach that verdict given the circumstances.

It’s easy to think everyone in America is a MAGA cultist judging by the media.

Yes there are but appeals against sentancing are not appeals agaist the verdict.

In the UK an appeal because tge judge gave wrong legak guidance etc are extrememy rare.
Then again in the UK we have pretty strict separation between the judiciary and the legislature.
Unlike the US judges are not political appointees so allegations of bias etc are almost unheard of.

Makes appeals more likely in the US I guess.

New Yorkers know flim flam when they smell it. The rest of the country not so much

The judge refused him right to appeal, so he will now appeal the no right to appeal.

Lol, thank fuck our politicians aint this shit, shit yes, but not this shit.

I don’t think as a country we’re in a position to point and laugh at anyone.

Thing is we are a little mirror of the US. Many a turd from that giant washes up on our increasingly insignificant cultural shore.

Agreed but the common denominator is the Murdoch clan - their shit washes up everywhere.

But they do exist. A higher court can find that a lower one has made a mistake without there having to be new evidence. Here for example

He gives cunts a voice (amplifies / multiplies / transmits). At least in a democracy we get a vote every 4 years - No such leaver with the media other than to stop consuming it.

The sad thing is all these people who lap this, so-called right wing bollocks, up don’t realise it’s all a grift - if only everyone could have read this at school
