Donald Trump Agrees to New Trial Date in Defamation Case

Lewis A. Kaplanjudge

The definition of rape in the New York Penal Law is far narrower than the meaning of 'rape' in common modern parlance, its definition in some dictionaries, in some federal and state criminal statutes, and elsewhere,

Kaplan wrote in July 2023

However, the parties also agreed that rather than seek to temporarily stay or administratively close the case entirely, they would endeavor to advance the case by conducting any discovery they mutually agreed would be practical to accomplish,

the filings add

Under the proposed schedule, pre-trial deadlines would largely expire shortly before Passover begins, and trial deadlines would commence approximately six weeks after the holiday ends,

I have observed and participated in trials throughout the world. I have seen justice and injustice in China, Russia, Ukraine, England, France, Italy, Israel, as well as in nearly 40 of our 50 states,

The Right should not forget or forgive the evils of the Biden Administration in our post-election euphoria,

It is now abundantly clear that Americans want an immediate end to the weaponization of our justice system,

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement on Tuesday

The stay, and dismissal, are necessary to avoid unconstitutional impediments to President Trump's ability to govern,

I don't believe, especially now, that Judge Merchan will have any choice other than to say: 'The decision is the decision; you can't go back in time,'

Cohen said,

I think they will push it off to after the four years, at which point in time he will be 82-plus years of age,

Cohen continued

I never thought that Donald Trump was going to be incarcerated; in fact, you've heard me say I don't think he should be,

Cohen said

A sitting president can't be prosecuted, and the statute of limitations may have run by the time Trump is out of office,

Rahmani said

There is no double jeopardy issue when a judge orders a mistrial because of inadmissible evidence,

former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Newsweek

That fact will almost surely prevent or delay any further criminal proceedings until Trump again is no longer president,

he said

Now, I was there during President Trump’s trial, and I watched this judge adjudicate matters unconstitutionally on an hourly basis. So, I'm not sure he has the wherewithal to do what's necessary under the law and forbid and stop politicization and weaponization of justice,

Patel said

The joint application for a stay of the current deadlines... until November 19, is granted,

prosecutor Matthew Colangelo wrote

No President of the United States has ever been treated as unfairly and unlawfully as District Attorney Bragg has acted towards President Trump in connection with the biased investigation, extraordinarily delayed charging decision, and baseless prosecution that gives rise to this motion,
