Judge Merchan tries to defend himself after Trump sentencing - but he and Bragg are responsible for this monster

Acting Justice Juan Merchan stated, "this case was unique and remarkable" but maintained that "once the courtroom doors were closed, the trial itself was no more special...than the other 32 cases in this courthouse." His comments raise significant questions about the nature of justice in this case.

Merchan allowed a jury to convict Trump without any agreement on the specifics of the case, saying the jury did not have to agree on why Trump committed an alleged offense. This raises concerns over the fairness of the trial and how jury decisions are communicated.

This case, described as a legal Frankenstein, was created by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who sought to resurrect a 2016 case using parts from both state and federal law. Critics likened it to a mishmash of legal concepts that may not stand up to scrutiny.

Even liberal legal experts criticized the legitimacy of the case, with Sen. John Fetterman calling it total "bulls-t." This sentiment reflects broader dissatisfaction with how this prosecution has unfolded and the implications it holds for the legal system.
