WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal judge in Florida presiding over the classified documents prosecution of former President Donald Trump has canceled the May 20 trial date, postponing it indefinitely.
EXACTLY! And I'm SURE if a Poor Criminal did so many Crimes they were needed in multiple court rooms at the same time the courts would do the EXACT SAME THING!
Campaigning and hanging out at races is being done when court is not in session.
If the Florida court demanded he be present at 8 AM on 5/20, and the NY court was in session that day which would ALSO demand his presence, there's literally no way to do that.
He, and his lawyers, can't be running one case in person and running another remotely. That's not going to work.
Do you practice law in federal court? Not trying to be an asshole, I'm really asking.
I've worked misdemeanors and felonies in a trial court and in both instances, remote appearances were allowed except when the party is testifying. Frankly it sounds fucking ridiculous that they would be forced to show up for anything but trial considering how unlikely it is that Trump does time before sentencing.
The case could've been held and be done with. There was assignment across the various cases. This judge delayed on purpose. Delayed while not freeing up the planned time this case would be held. Thereby trying to mess up the planning of other cases.
Again, the judge purposely made it that the cases would overlap. This could've been done with already. Initially there wasn't any overlap. If you check the actions by this judge it's pretty easy to see that she is delaying plus trying to make it difficult for his other cases to be scheduled.
