Except they have no evidence it was intentional. Zero.That's not how this works. There's a bunch of issues with this, but the most obvious example is this: given Trump's being tried by a state DA in a state court, it's a state crime.
The state stuff last I checked is also out due to statue of limitations...Also, there's an exception to double jeopardy that might be relevant here called dual sovereignty doctrine. Basically, you can get prosecuted twice for the same time, once federally, and once by the state. The federal stuff for this crime? Handled by the statute of limitations. But the state stuff is still open.
And yep, two years for misdemeanor and five for felony.
Eh he can easily appeal based upon biased jury. Or even a biased judge that caused the biased jury.It destroys logical arguments that the jury would consider. Unfortunately, a biased jury can still convict. There's little avenue for a legal challenge by Trump.
It can easily be appealed.
Just depends om who gets it upon appeal
