I'm an appellate attorney in New York, I've worked on hundreds of appeals, at least. Bonds have been posted on probably less than 10 of them in my 20 years of practice. A bond has nothing to do with whether there's an appeal. Tristan is either a liar or so uninformed as an attorney that he's an active danger to the citizens of New York.
Tristan also says that "There is no appeal until Trump pays the judgment." This is INSANE. Paying the judgment would render the appeal moot and end the case.
Tristan Snell is an active danger to the citizens of New York.
I'm sure you're all dying to see one of my appeals. They're very exciting! Here's one that I won in 2022. No bond was posted. nycourts.gov/reporter/3dser…
Re: Trump's civil fraud trial not having a jury. In this case, the Note of Issue (the paper that gets filed that tells the Court that the case is ready for trial and gets it put on the trial calendar) was done by the the plaintiff, the People of the State of New York, via Attorney General Letitia James, on July 31, 2023. The party filing the Note of Issue has the choice of deciding whether it will be a jury trial or a non-jury trial, and AG James chose a non-jury trial.
At that point, Trump as the defendant had 15 days pursuant to CPLR 4102 to request a jury by filing what's called a jury demand. That did not happen.
So, it's not a situation where Trump's attorney's checked the wrong box or didn't check a box - they were supposed to file a certain form within a certain time period and did not do so.
This is as per my review of the Note of Issue and everything else on NYSCEF - if anyone knows anything different or has insight into any differing part rules that Justice Engoron has, please advise.
I don't litigate much in the Supreme Court, New York County these days, but in the last case I had there (which took about 6 years to resolve), I was counsel for the defendant and the plaintiff filed a Note of Issue without a jury demand and I also didn't file a jury demand because there would've have been any benefit to anyone to have a jury. Sometimes it's an intentional choice! I also defeated the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and they ended up discontinuing the case against my client.
Jones is now claiming to have been a legacy bluecheck. This is a lie. Her Twitter account was unsuspended on December 16, 2022. She was not verified at that time. Legacy verification ended as of December 12, 2022, before her unsuspension.
Here's an archive of her account the day it was unsuspended, December 16, 2022. No bluecheck. web.archive.org/web/2022121619…
The bluecheck did not appear on her account - ever in history at any time - until December 23, 2022. Because she paid for Twitter Blue. It was impossible to obtain a legacy verification at this time. web.archive.org/web/2022122321…
A film I produced, DEBBIE DOES DEMONS, directed by the legendary Donald Farmer, is now available to order on Blu-ray. You're welcome. vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/fr…
I make no money on this so don't buy it for that reason.
Here's my on-screen credit. If anyone buys the movie and doesn't like it, I'll just say that "Damon" Toell is someone else.
