Democrat Appellate Judge overturns half billion dollar fine

Trump wins major victory: Appeals court overturns NYC civil fraud judgment​

The decision came seven months after the Republican returned to the White House. A five-judge panel of New York's Appellate Division concluded that the $515 million judgment—originally set at $355 million plus interest—was "excessive" and unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment.​

Winning!

It's unclear if there is to be $0 penalty for the fraud. More courts to go...

Got a feeling Judge Erogon might just be.....

Just to be clear, nothing about this overturns the finding that Trump and his company engaged in fraud.

Trump did not committ fraud. The banks were happy with the total repayment of the loans. Hopefully, the next level of appeals will completely reverse the lower court ruling of fraud.

The law found he committed fraud.

Of course observers can hold to whatever opinion they prefer.

It's not fraud if you get away with it. OK.

It was overturned. It happens all the time in our court system. Someone gets convicted, fined, sentenced and then the case is reexamined and is overturned because it wasn't legitimate.

The guilt was not overturned. Just the extent of the fine

He’s still a 34 count felon.

It's interesting to learn that Democratic judicial appointees are only "rogue" when they rule against Trump, but not when they rule in his favor.

The whole thing is probably going to be dismissed.

Theres no evidence to suggest that at all.

(Note that I can see a constitutional argument against the felony verdict in the other case - even tho I think he actually did the crime and the crime should be a felony. But I dont believe the way the law was structured allowed him a proper defense. But this case is much clearer than that one. He'll stay guilty here.)

another violation of board rules

This is a fact-free space.

It's already been determined the case was mishandled.

For now you are correct...

Crying on Letitia James' shoulder?

No - they will probably be in different cells

The progressive left wing liberal judge said he committed fraud. This is yet another example of the weaponization of lawfare during the years of the Biden administration.
