Legal expert and constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley said following former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in his hush money trial that he believes there are grounds for an easy reversal on “procedural and constitutional” grounds.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case was based on false accusations, and presiding Judge Juan Merchan severely and possibly unconstitutionally hindered Trump’s defense, according to Turley, a legal expert. Nevertheless, the jury found him guilty on all 34 counts.
“I think the level of reversible error here really is quite considerable. It runs the waterfront of procedural to constitutional problems, including federal constitutional violations,” Turley began. “I don’t even see how you can meet the unanimity requirement in the way that this thing was instructed.”
