(3)Notice in a Criminal Case. In a criminal case, the prosecutor must:
(A) provide reasonable notice of any such evidence that the prosecutor intends to offer at trial, so that the defendant has a fair opportunity to meet it;
(B) articulate in the notice the permitted purpose for which the prosecutor intends to offer the evidence and the reasoning that supports the purpose; and
(C) do so in writing before trial — or in any form during trial if the court, for good cause, excuses lack of pretrial notice.
If that were a consideration, surely it’d be better to be a week or two earlier? Slam dunk though it may be, I doubt this trial will last only a single day, and there’s clear public interest in the trial being concluded before most of the primaries.
Well, we all already knew that they wouldn’t be able to have an adequate defense.
Interesting bits on “the beat”. The defence attorney came in hot, and was told by the judge to lower the temperature. He basically threw all the talking points. Prosecutional malpractice, Biden vengeance for hunter, trump was faithfully executing the laws of the us.
He did slip up as when the prosecution got to speak on the date of the trial. They had quotes of him on a Sunday show saying he has read mike pence’s book twice, and was preparing his cross of him. Oops.
Team smith is on it. Team trump is hampered by the client.
Why schedule the case just before Super Tuesday? One reason could be that that was the best the judge could do to balance the need to get this case rolling within a reasonable timeframe while also dealing with all the other cases on her calendar. It’s not like she doesn’t have anything else to do. Picking dates for trials and pretrial hearings is as intricate as figuring out the NFL season’s matchups.
It makes absolutely no difference what date the judge picks - before the primaries are over, its “primary season”, afterwards its “real campaign”. The only way to be fair is to ignore the political aspect of it entirely.
Which is what she said she was going to do at the arraignment. I’m sure this date was picked because it gives plenty of time for the defense and it was free on her calendar. If she wanted to avoid a politically sensitive decision, there would be no way to do it. Too soon, political. After the general election, political. Right before the general election, political. Etc.
I’ve never required the services of a criminal attorney (thankfully) but I wonder how our legal eagles would react to me going on social media and broadcasting to millions of my followers that my judge was biased and hated me.
As part of our intake packet, we literally have a document entitled “Impact of social media on your case”. It advises clients not to talk about the case online.
I normally tell clients that the first thing the prosecutor likes to do is check their social media accounts.
Of course, it’s typically in relation to something like a DUI. So I tell them not to put up pictures of them barhopping (but it could extend to things like not trying to be a gangster online. donald is like the worst teenage wanna be gangbanger, with the fake gold who is always showing off cash).
So Jack Smith and his team of thugs have been working on this so-called “witch hunt” for three years?
Remind me again when Jack Smith was appointed as special counsel. I’m thinking November, 2022, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it seems to me that it is impossible that neither he nor his team, have been working on this for three years.
And Trumpists complain about Biden having dementia. Have they taken a good, hard look at Trump lately?
There’s a secret tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean from The Hague to the White House. That’s how Smith has been plotting with Joe without anyone knowing.
One quick, off-topic question:
can a stupid mistake like that (“roomer are”) instead of “rumors are”) be caused by speech-to-text software?
(A quick yes or no answer should be enough. If not, then it needs a new thread)
