Trump’s New York trial was ripe with legal errors. - Prosecutors waged a politically motivated prosecution. - The Sixth Amendment requires specificity regarding the charges so the defendant can be informed and mount a defense. - There is a First Amendment presumption against gag orders, which were liberally used against Trump. - Judge Merchan forbid Trump’s experts from testifying. - The prosecutor sculpted the law to meet the facts. - The Court did not require juror unanimity in the verdict. These errors were symptomatic of corruption, not mere mistakes.
