| Let me ruin the suspense for everyone. Trump doesn't have
| an appeal.
|
| I know the talking heads on TV (who have never tried a case
| or appealed a jury verdict) have to mention it. Here's why
| it isn't going to fly.
|
| To have a meritorious appeal, you have to preserve a
| reversible error at the trial level. This is why you hire
| competent counsel. You need someone who actually knows the
| rules of evidence and procedure.
|
| Alina Habba had no clue what was occurring throughout the
| trial. She not only failed to preserve any remote grounds
| for appeal, like a moron, she repeatedly and
| unintentionally waived them over and over.
|
| For example, she kept saying "no objection" as exhibits
| were entered into evidence.
|
| It appeared to me that she was saying that because she
| that's something she had heard real lawyers say before.
|
| Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, what she was doing over and
| over was waiving his ability to appeal over those
| evidentiary issues. Because she is a moron who would rather
| *play* lawyer than do the research to *be* a lawyer.
|
| There's no appeal here. And because people have asked me in
| the past, no, there is no such thing as an incompetent
| counsel defense in civil cases. That's for criminal
| matters.
|
| Take this verdict to the bank.
