JUST IN: Video emerges of Judge in Trump Fraud case discussing his ability to OVERRULE A JURY based on his assertions and feelings about the case.. pic.twitter.com/g3RO21LXYM

I listened to the whole speech. Either he just mailed it in or he's not a very deep guy to begin with. To put a bright red bow on top, he wanted to be a journalist but he sucked at it before deciding to go to law school. Maybe that was self deprecating humor and a way to tell community college students they can fail in life a few times before they find their way, maybe not. He's an odd duck, though and comes off as one.TXAggie2011 said:
The judge in that video says he's overturned a jury twice in his career. He was affirmed once, overturned the other time.
He was talking to a group of community college students. It wasn't a deep discussion

That judge is still a world class POS. No one who is that biased, openly biased, should ever be wearing the black robe in a court room. He needs to be tossed from the helicopter at first opportunity.

What is an example of his bias?
Trump is asking Judge Cannon to move his documents trial from May to December 2024. He says he hasn’t been able to access a swath of classified docs central to his case and that SCIF in Florida isn’t ready to handle them yet. https://t.co/vvJ1kztVoA

Quote:
The judge overseeing the probe into former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents has paused any litigation involving the classified materials in question as she considers a request from Trump to extend deadlines in the case, according to a new order.
At issue is how the classified materials at the center of the case are to be handled by the defendants and their attorneys, based on national security requirements.
ABC NewsQuote:
After Judge Aileen Cannon established several deadlines for ruling on those issues, Trump's legal team last month filed a motion asking her for a three-month extension, saying that Trump and his co-defendants have still not had access "to significant portions of the materials that the Special Counsel's Office has characterized as classified and conceded are discoverable -- much less the additional classified materials to which President Trump is entitled following anticipated discovery litigation."
Cannon's order on Friday temporarily pauses the upcoming deadlines as she considers Trump's motion.
Soo, how many CIPA cases on which you been lead counsel? I haven't been on one, except a civil case in the 80s that involved EMP testing. I just got the info declassified instead.TXAggie2011 said:
This case is increasingly pointing towards an appeal by the government regarding Judge Cannon's handling of the CIPA process. We're not even to hard part of CIPA cases.

There were others that were probably higher even if they didn't involve a former President.
OJ Simpson's murder trial probably drew a lot more attention, just not particularly political.
A relatively high percentage of people in this country were paying intense interest in the OJ Simpson debacle, both before and during the trial. Wherever you went, it was frequently brought up.

A pretty large percentage of people are aware of Trump's issues, but the only ones who are really paying that much attention are those on the far Right and those on the far Left. I suspect that there are more people in this country who just want Trump to fade away than there are who are intensely interested in the verdict.
I know very few people outside of here who are greatly interested in it and I live in one of the most Republican counties in the country. The older, retired people around here who watch tv a lot probably pay more attention while the rest are busy living their own lives. Hardly anyone seems to mention it in conversation.
When the trial starts, there will likely be a lot more interest, but even then, it will probably not draw the interest that OJ Simpson's trial brought.
Just because you have intense opinions about it, don't assume that everyone does.
From what I've been told and what I've read, the Lindbergh (sp?) baby kidnapping also drew very intense interest. I obviously have no direct recollection of the event, but growing up I knew many who did.
NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon just denied Special Counsel Jack Smith's request to create a secure facility in DC which would have forced Trump and defendants to travel to DC to view some "classified documents" in Smith's other case against Trump.
