Daniel Penny speaks out after acquittal in NYC subway chokehold case

Update as of 12/11/2024: "He added that he would endure a “million court appearances and the hatred and name-calling that comes with them” if it meant preventing even one person from coming to harm.

“This type of this is very uncomfortable. All this attention and limelight is very uncomfortable. I would prefer without it. I didn’t want any type of attention or praise … and I still don’t. The guilt I would have felt if someone did get hurt if he did do what he was threatening to do, I would never be able to live with myself,” Penny told Pirro when she asked him what made him choose to get involved."

Were the jury instructions in Trump's New York trial unconstitutional? Quite possible

This conflicted judge Juan Merchan did not inspire much confidence during the entire trial!

Caveat: I am not intimately familiar with the details of this trial

"A New York jury acquitted publisher John Peter Zenger of seditious libel in 1735 in what the National Constitution Center correctly calls “an early example of jury nullification.” Three centuries later, another New York jury was falsely instructed that it lacked that power, thereby rendering its guilty verdict against another high‐​profile defendant, former President Donald Trump, constitutionally infirm.
Juries have always had the power to acquit against the evidence, and telling them otherwise violates the Sixth Amendment and due process. ...
The founders [fathers and mothers] would not have approved, and neither should we."

A Glaring Error in Trump's Hush Money Trial | Cato Institute However one feels about Trump, he has the same right to due process and an impartial jury as the rest of us. And he was denied that right by instructions that falsely advised his jury that it had no discretion to acquit him for reasons other than a failure of proof.

What does throw as much mud as possible, so that something will stick mean?

Ask Donald Trump this question!

It is called political lawfare to prevent a political opponent from winning an election fair and square! 

It means the Dimocratic Party put up a show trial like those held in the former Soviet Union or fascist Germany!

It means by which a lifelong pathological and serial liar and senile, demented and corrupt (still not impeached and unindicted) 46th President and his  henchmen/henchwomen/henchtransgenders attempt to be reelected by any means necessary!

It is turning the U.S. into a banana republic for all the world to see! The damage to the reputation of the U.S. as the leader of the free world is enormous!

John Caldara on the Trump travesty of justice

Recommendable! As I said in a previous blog post, Trump should have sued the porn actress for extortion instead of paying $130,000 hush money! Now he can sue her for violating the non disclosure agreement!

"I don't know what this world is coming to when you can't trust a porno actress to uphold her non-disclosure agreement.  ...
But yesterday's verdict against Trump was more than troubling. ... The issue is that if he was anyone else, ANYONE ELSE, this prosecution never would have been started in the first place.
It was purely political. It has a banana republic odor to it. ...
As a sideline, Trump's impressive support from black men and Hispanics is worth noting. No Republican in my lifetime has broken into those demographics like the Don. ...
If Trump is elected, he will have access to the nuclear codes to launch Armageddon, but because now he's technically a felon he won't be able to buy a firearm.
Only in America. ..."

The Trump Verdict Is a Travesty of Justice

Recommendable!

"... From the moment that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg chose to indict Trump for nearly decade-old offenses that Bragg himself had previously declined to prosecute, the circus came to town. ...
As I understand it, the business-records violations became felonies because they’re in furtherance of a campaign-finance violation—this is what allowed Bragg even to bring charges, given that the statute of limitations would otherwise have run out on the first, underlying actions. ..."

U.S. Court of Appeals: Employers Must Cover Sex-Change Surgery in Health Plans

Bad and consequential news! Hopefully, this decision will be appealed before the U.S. Supreme Court!

This smells of judicial activism!

Just because someone declares something about one's identity does not make it a medical necessity! It is foremost in many cases a personal choice. Where is this going to end? 

What if I declare I am a gourmet and a high roller thus I need daily exquisite gourmet food and lot's of money to gamble at the local casino? Will my employer have to cover this too?

Caveat: I am not familiar with the case.

"... The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled last week that a refusal by an employer to cover gender-transition surgeries in an employee’s health insurance violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which “prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.” ..."

Greg Kelly explains what went wrong during the O.J. Simpson trial

The reporting by Greg Kelly was not very good!

There is at least one stubborn fact about this murder case: If OJ was not the murderer, then the real murderer was never caught. Why not?
In 1997, "He was later found liable for committing both deaths in a civil lawsuit in 1997." (Source)
Plus, OJ commited crimes later: "Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada, and charged with armed robbery and kidnapping in 2007.[1] He was convicted and sentenced to 33 years' imprisonment, with a minimum of nine years without parole, in 2008."

Climate justice: Top European Court of Human Rights condemns Switzerland in landmark ruling. Really! A grave travesty of justice!

This is very serious stuff!

More travesty of justice in the name of the greatest scam of our time: The Global Warming hoax and Climate Change!

I am afraid we are reaching a new low regarding this greatest scam! Yesterday, I blogged here that the highest court of India also just came out in favor of climate justice! This is a serious turn for the worse!

This court and the Indian Supreme Court set a terrible precedent!

This judicial compromise stinks to heaven! These justices tried to have it both ways by declaring a climate justice right, but denying victim status in this case! An awful decision!

"Europe's top rights court ruled on Tuesday, April 9, that Switzerland was not doing enough to tackle climate change, in its first such ruling on the responsibility of states in curbing global warming. ..."

"The ECHR has delivered Grand Chamber rulings in three climate change cases.

The case Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland concerned a complaint by four women and a Swiss association, Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz, whose members are concerned about the consequences of global warming on their living conditions and health. They consider that the Swiss authorities are not taking sufficient action to mitigate the effects of climate change. The Court found that the Convention encompasses a right to effective protection by the State authorities from the serious adverse effects of climate change on lives, health, well-being and quality of life. However, it held that the four individual applicants did not fulfil the victim-status criteria under Article 34 of the Convention and declared their complaints inadmissible. ..."

Climate justice: Top European rights court condemns Switzerland in landmark ruling The European Court of Human Rights ruled on 3 cases filed by European citizens accusing countries of not doing enough to prevent climate change, rejecting two cases yet siding with one against Switzerland.

Breaking Down Trump’s Options to Pay $454M Civil-Fraud Penalty

Recommendable! I have a strong hunch that the $350 million judgement against Trump is a politically motivated travesty of justice!

Presidential candidate Nikki Haley says she would pardon Trump if he’s convicted. Really!

This and other remarks about the latest, absurd trial in New York City tells you all how stupid and unelectable this woman is! Sorry! 

She clearly is a RINO of some sort!

For the GOP, it is a disaster not have better candidates in the race other than Trump! Trump will be 81 years old at the end of his second term!

Instead of condemning this judicial activism/travesty of justice by this racist and partisan NY AG Letitia James and this ridiculous judge.

"Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said late Sunday that, if elected to the White House, she would pardon former President Trump if he’s convicted of a federal crime. ...
“I believe, in the best interest of bringing the country together, I would pardon Donald Trump. Because I think it’s important for the country to move on.” ..."

VDH: $83 Million settlement against Trump? What a total farce!

Recommendable! What a travesty of justice!

The recent politicization of justice in America is very troubling! It reminds of a banana republic!

"... The civil suit serves as a mere preview of four additional leftwing criminal prosecutions, leftwing judges, and leftwing juries to come—all on charges that would never had been filed if Trump either had not run for president or been a liberal progressive. ...
She, the alleged victim, did not remember even the year in which the purported sexual assault took place, nearly three decades ago. Observers have pointed out dozens of inconsistencies in her story.

It was never clear what were the preliminaries that supposedly (Trump denies meeting her) led both, allegedly, willingly to retreat together to a department store dressing room, where during normal business hours the alleged violence took place.

Moreover, the sexual assault complaint came forward decades post facto—and only after Trump was running for and then president.

Carroll eventually sued him for battery, but well after the statute of limitations had expired and thus the case seemed defunct. ..."

Meet the 4 Dem-Appointed Colorado Supreme Court Judges Who Disqualified Trump from 2024 Ballot

Unfortunately, the article does not really say much about these 4 Colorado Supreme Court Judges!

Keep in mind: It was a 4-3 decision!

One of them a lesbian woman (Monica M. Márquez)! Was that her only qualification to be nominated for a Supreme Court to be the first! She is a " a member of the self-described Bench Dream Team, which is a group of judges dedicated to diversity and inclusion in law". 

Her resume seems to be very thin and not very qualifying!

"... For her career of service, Justice Márquez has been recognized with the Colorado GLBT Bar Association’s 2009 Outstanding GLBT Attorney Award ..."

From Wikipedia:
"Márquez is a past president of the Colorado LGBT Bar Association"

Colorado Supreme Court blocks Trump from 2024 ballot in historic insurrection ruling. Really!

If January 6th was an insurrection or rebellion (in the sense of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution), then I don't know what a largely peaceful protest is anymore! What a joke!

Fact is Trump was never indicted for insurrection! 

The only positive note here is that it was a tight 4 to 3 decision. Maybe one day we will learn more about how this decision was formed. I would not be surprised if some of these judges suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome!

It is very dangerous for any democracy when the highest court of the land descends into political partisanship!

The Dimocratic Party is playing with fire! Apparently it is not enough that the whole world is suffering from a senile, demented, and corrupt 46th President!

6 Reasons Department of Justice’s 'Get Trump' Docs Case Is Seriously Flawed

Very recommendable! This case against Trump smells strongly like a travesty of justice!

Equal justice under law has become a farce when perpetrators like former FBI Directors and employees, Hillary Clinton, former U.S. Senator and Vice President Biden and so on are never indicted!

In particular, the possible violations by the U.S. Department of Justice of the attorney-client privilege by itself are extremely serious! If confirmed, then it makes the U.S. in the eyes of the world look even more like a banana republic under the senile, demented and likely corrupt 46th President!

The 6th reason might be the weakest and less well argued, but the other five reasons are worth knowing!

US writer E. Jean Carroll testifies in her lawsuit against Donald Trump

This lawsuit is a bad joke! She claims it happened almost 30 years ago! Why is she suing now and not many years ago?
That such lawsuits are allowed to go forward is preposterous!
