Judge Merchan refuses to recuse and will rule on the immunity claim on September 16th

Judge rejects Donald Trump's latest demand to step aside from hush money criminal case

Donald Trump has lost his latest bid for a new judge in his New York hush money criminal case. Judge Juan M.

Summary

Judge Juan Merchan said that he will rule on the immunity claim fairly and impartially on September 16th, 2024, and if he rules against Trump, then Trump will be sentenced on September 18th, 2024. His sentence (prison time, a fine, etc) is up to the judge himself.

Trump wants to appeal the guilty verdict, but the appeal cannot take place right now. Plus he has 3 other criminal cases.

And yes, Judge Merchan will rule on the immunity claim fairly and impartially because if a judge anywhere in the United States rules according to his/her personal or political views, then that judge is obviously not fair and impartial.

Just as the 6th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States requires jurors to be impartial, the judge must also be impartial.

Quote from SooYoung

People involve in criminal cases shouldn't be allow to run for president

What type of message is it sending ?

Punishing criminals ? No here in the US we reward them by making them become president

In the United States, the Electoral College rewards electoral votes to the Democratic and Republican nominee.

If a criminal is punished, then that person can be president once that person achieves at least 270 electoral votes, but no one knows if a criminal running for president would govern the country from the White House until the term expires or would govern from prison because Trump is the first President of the United States to be convicted.

Reality doesn't work that way with rich people, as we've already seen with trump😅

In reality, Juan Merchan said during the hush money trial that if Trump keeps violating the gag order, then the only option left would be prison instead of a $1,000 fine per violation of the gag order (maximum is $1,000 under New York law)

By the way, O. J. Simpson was rich and convicted in 2008.

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

I hope the judge chooses to be fair and impartial for Trump but I'm naturally skeptical after seeing other judges clown the very concept for the last few years

All judges in the US are fair and impartial.

That says "Alaska", but it applies to every judge in the US.

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

There are countless cases of the justice system not being fair.

In countries like Russia yeah. Russia was not being fair to Marc Fogel for trying to enter Russia with medical marijuana (probably to help a friend or something). He is now imprisoned in Russia.

In America too

South America, but not the United States of America. Some people don't like Peronism (a leftist movement in Argentina), but some, like Sergio Massa, like it.

Quote from Popper-of-Ks

The United States of America. If you think our justice system has no corruption, I have a bridge to sell you.

Every criminal trial in the United States has no corruption. They all go through the same steps regardless if it's a celebrity or not!

1. Jury call
2. Voir dire
3. Jurors sworn in
4. Opening statements
5. Prosecution's case
6. Defendant's case
7. Prosecution's rebuttal case (not required)
8. Closing arguments
9. Jury instruction or jury charge
10. Jury deliberation
11. Verdict
12. Sentencing (if guilty verdict)

Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York is no different!

So will you be paying in cash or credit?

In livestock.
