Alan Dershowitz has launched a scathing critique of Judge Juan Merchan, accusing him of political bias against Donald Trump.
Prominent legal scholar Alan Dershowitz has criticized Judge Juan Merchan, calling him a "get Trump" judge and predicting a harsh but strategically suspended sentence for Trump.
According to Newsmax, Dershowitz argues that the judge's approach is designed to impose the strictest sentence possible on Trump while ensuring it won't be overturned or boost Trump's election prospects. He predicts a two-year prison term, likely to be suspended, to appear severe without immediate imprisonment.
Dershowitz contends that the case against Trump is baseless and politically motivated. He argues that Alvin Bragg's prosecution has undermined the impartiality of the criminal justice system, setting a dangerous precedent for political weaponization of legal processes. According to Dershowitz, the actions taken against Trump are intended more to harm him than to seek genuine justice.
Reflecting on his memories of Bragg from Harvard Law School, Dershowitz recalls an incident involving a controversial speaker but admits he doesn't remember Bragg well from those days. This anecdote underscores his belief that Bragg's recent actions are part of a broader pattern of political bias.
Dershowitz also addressed the broader implications of the case, asserting that Alvin Bragg's prosecution has severely damaged the impartiality of the criminal justice system. He warns that this action has set a precedent for the political weaponization of legal processes, which could have lasting negative effects on the nation's legal landscape.
Dershowitz also discussed the Hunter Biden case in Delaware, noting President Joe Biden's recent visit to Haley Biden. He dismisses any notion of witness tampering, attributing the visit to Joe Biden's compassionate nature and desire to support his family. Dershowitz emphasizes that Joe Biden has been known for his empathy and familial bonds since the 1980s.
Addressing the legal aspects of Hunter Biden's case, Dershowitz points out that while Biden could face significant prison time and fines if convicted, nonviolent first-time offenders rarely receive severe sentences. Given the straightforward nature of the case and the quality of his legal representation, he predicts that Hunter Biden will likely face a conviction with a probationary sentence rather than imprisonment.
