Legal expert and constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley said following former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in his hush money trial, there are grounds for an easy reversal on “procedural and constitutional” grounds.
The jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts. However, for weeks, legal experts, including Turley, have noted that the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was based on manufactured charges while presiding Judge Juan Merchan was severely — and perhaps unconstitutionally — hampering Trump’s defense.
Turley argued that this could give Trump a great opportunity on appeal.
Speaking with Fox’s Larry Kudlow, Turley said: “Very few of us outside of Manhattan have a lot of faith in the legal system right now and the former president may have rough sledding on the first level of appeal and after that, some of the glaring errors will go in front of the Supreme Court and in my view, it’s, it would be impossible to sustain this verdict and there’s so many problems, so many errors that were committed by judge merchan but we may have to wait a bit.”
