Sentencing

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.

There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.

The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.

This list is fucking crazy. I'm sure it would be fucken hard for an average person to even obtain this many felonies. Absolute insanity. Check your darksign cause I think the fire is going out.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

Average people don't have the resources to commit as many crimes in a short period of time, thankfully. Imagine what Bezos does for fun. Disgusting.

It's OK, when you're rich they just let you do it.

/s because because

[-] Xanis@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

In most cases yes, you're right. In this case I honestly believe they're [mostly] dragging their feet out of caution. Trump isn't so rich in money as his followers are in potential. It's a similar reason why I don't think they've locked him up. If they did I heavily suspect he'd be made a martyr and regardless of that result his cult maga idiots will flock to where ever they think he is and cause all sorts of issues.

Well the fire represents disparity, i.e. privilege. The darksign was a curse that was created to oppress the masses and keep humanity from gaining power. When the flames fail it'll finally be the age of humanity.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Straight up Kaathe propaganda. Who was it who convinced the people of Oolacile to resurrect Manus? Who knew what dark soul resided down there?

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 1 points 4 months ago

But the Dark Soul is Humanity's soul, broken up among mortals. Kaathe was right: killing the fire is the goal. Keeping it alight like Gwyn did past it's normal period brought ruin to the world and disturbed the natural order. I.e. the rich and powerful stole humanity's time and fate!

At what point can Cannon be charged as an accessory after the fact?

So far, nothing about what she's doing is extra-legal.

[-] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I would agree with that from what I've seen. She absolutely killed the case and what she is doing is highly unusual in it's totality and the appearance to an outsider is pretty grim, but she would have to do something without any legal basis or similar. Just being elected by the guy that has a case pending in front of you is not enough. There is precedent for this.

Mind you even then, recusal is probably the only thing that would happen anyway. Removal is super unlikely. I would say winning the lottery levels of unlikely.

What happened to the immunity case? Last update says April 25th but that was a month ago.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 39 points 4 months ago

Supreme court rulings are generally announced in June just before they go on break for the year.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

One thing about today's outcome, it will make future trials easier.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

Definitely. Particularly if someone wants to put Trump on the stand.

"You were found liable for lying about E. Jean Carroll, correct? And you were convicted of 34 felonies, also in New York, correct?"

[-] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Oh how I would love for his ego to make him perjure himself. He’d be arrogant and dumb enough to try too.

[-] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Fake news!! /s

"Objection! Prejudicial"

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

Beautiful, and very well put together

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 5 points 4 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In a case brought in federal court in South Florida, Trump is charged with 40 counts stemming from his alleged mishandling of sensitive government records after leaving the White House and efforts to obstruct the Justice Department's investigation.

Cannon has continued to unseal filings that shed light on proceedings that occurred during the federal investigation into Trump's handling of records marked classified after the end of his presidency.

Chutkan and a unanimous panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled Trump is not shielded from criminal charges by presidential immunity.

Trump appealed to the Supreme Court, which heard arguments in April over whether a former president enjoys presidential immunity for allegedly official acts undertaken while in the White House.

A Fulton County grand jury indicted Trump and 18 allies in August 2023 in a sprawling racketeering case stemming from an alleged scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

Trump was initially charged with 13 state felony counts, but three of them were tossed out by Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the case.

The original article contains 969 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

He's not a hero. He's a hero because he was convicted. I like people that weren't convicted.
