Is Trump trying to set up an appeal based on incompetent counsel?

[bigtree]

...just how incompetent does a defense lawyer have to be for a conviction to be at risk under appeal?

Judge Kaplan is literally teaching Evidence 101 at Kaplan Law School to a class of one that includes Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba. Brutal.

1. How a Parking Garage Lawyer is schooled.

Must have gotten her juris dictorate degree from TrumpU.

Figures.

2. Doubt it, though she does appear to be somewhat incompetent.

This is not a criminal trial, where such things are relevant; here, it may just cost him more $$$$$.

3. Thinking the same thing when Joey Taco bailed..

Leaving behind Junior consul. She is way over her head.

4. Give Trump some slack,

who among us hasn't raped someone in a change room of a department store?

Just think about that for a minute, and he was elected president of the United States.

That says more about the people who voted for him.

I hope I don't need the sarcasm thingy?

5. he has more than one counsel.....

He chose to put her front and center. He is the problem, not her.

6. No, he's just out for bargain basement lawyers because that is where he placed himself ...

... He does not pay lawyers. He's ironically proving the old saw free (unpaid in his case) legal advice is worth every penny that was paid for it.

7. An incompetent counsel appeal is only available in a criminal trial.

This is a civil trial to determine damages. So no, he isn’t. He’s just insane.

8. Karma writ large.

We still have to deal with half of America who are raging assholes after he’s gone. This is what I need help with.
