I am no lawyer, but I fail to see how the private misconduct, that doesn't rise to the level of illegality/criminality, of members of the DA's office has any bearing on the case? It's not like Fani was sleeping with Joe Biden or Eric Trump, which would give her a motive separate from the facts of the case or inside knowledge of the defendant, and the fact she was sleeping with the special prosecutor doesn't change the fact that said prosecutor is qualified for the position, it's not like she assigned an incompetent to the position out of nepotism. The judge admitted that the defendant's representation failed to prove the facts of any "kick back scheme", which would seem to me like the only potential source of conflict, that pursuing the case would enrich Fani or any other party in any way. Has the judicial system really devolved to the point of disqualifying cases/attorneys because of social faus paus?

By dealing with it now, when the election conspirators are found guilty (it'd take a miracle for them not to be found guilty when they committed these crimes in broad daylight and there's so much corroboration) that's one less thing the guilty will be able to claim prejudiced the case in an appeal.

This argument is no different from Trump's "I repaid the loans so where's the fraud" There are rules in place that apply to conduct, and do not require a direct negative outcome. Those rules (e.g. prohibit a prosecutor from benefiting from a decision) can have edge case applications like here (she benefited from appointing him, how?...) but the whole point is that the facts are applied to The Law, not the other way around, and the process can be used by any party to give them a better shot at their case. In a criminal trial, that means the defence is permitted to try everything possible to help their case, even if it's immoral in the subjective opinion of everyone else.

It's an interesting moral question! The question is: "is it unfair to the defendant for a prosecutor to have a financial or other stake in reaching a conviction?". Apparently you disagree with the justice systems' position, which the video describes at 18:20. Obviously it's wrong for a prosecutor to have any reason to "go easy" on a defendant, but it's harder to see why we'd care if a prosecutor tries "extra hard" to convict, since conviction is kinda their whole job (discussed at 15:09). One argument for "yes, it's unfair to the defendant" could be around the idea that we want every defendant to have a fair trial. A prosecutor trying "extra hard" with some defendants, and giving only "normal effort" towards convicting other defendants, might be a kind of injustice in the process. That's a detail you only notice when you accept justice workers in the real world can't do their jobs perfectly 100% of the time, and so only in our imperfect world could these biases matter. I'd love a video going into further detail on the moral discussion informing the law here.

@@snickers10m I don't believe there was a financial stake in reaching a conviction at all. Even the defence only raised that she was getting kickbacks from a lover, she a prosecutor shes obviously invested in a guilty outcome, and not a defence attorney, throwing her defendant under the bus for a guilty verdict which your comment would make sense with. She would hire a special prosecutor, regardless, she hired 3, and they're all being paid the same. Their a prosecutor, and as the video says, a prosecutor must by their very position be biased against the defendant and not hold a view that they are innocent. I believe her, based on her beliefs and the reason they had for ending their very short relationship, that she is not one to let a man pay for her, and she's going to be one to hold her, not mention the amount shes getting paid already. Whether a prosecutor tries harder for one defendant over another doesn't make the trial unfair. Just a prosecuctor who does a better job than another would not be unfair, thats ridiculous.

@snickers10m 2 ай бұрын

@PBMS123 I won't comment on any of the opinions you raised in your reply, but I do want to clarify the position you started with: "[she didn't have] any financial stake in reaching a conviction." Obviously, yes, the judge reached this conclusion too, which is why she wasn't disqualified. But the reason he reached this conclusion wasn't that it's totally implausible for her to have a financial stake; instead he concluded it because the defense didn't present enough evidence of it. The court thought it was plausible (but unlikely and unproven) that she could have a financial stake. The video doesn't completely explain the details, but I suspect the logic boils down to: "she would have an incentive to continue prosecuting the defendants even after the point where she would normally 'give up' and divert her office's resources to other more important prosecutions." District Attorneys have to make decisions about how much time and focus they put on each case, since they only have limited resources. By hiring her boyfriend, and having her boyfriend use that hiring to take her out and improve her lifestyle (the "kickback"), the logic goes that she would be incentivized to continue prosecuting (or even incentivized to bring the charges in the first place) not for normal justice reasons, but in order to keep the kickbacks coming to her. In other words, without the hiring of the boyfriend, it's plausible that she could've chosen to not prosecute at all in the first place, since the financial incentive wasn't there. Your original comment supposed "even if you could prove she had a kickback scheme...", and your reply suggested a kickback scheme didn't give her an incentive to prosecute. Again, the court found that there was no proven kickback scheme. But I wanted to fill in the gap and explain how a kickback scheme (if proven) could have lead to the extra incentive to prosecute. (And that's why the court entertained this motion at all) And again, I have no comment on any of the other opinions in your reply; I just wanted to explain this one detail.

Both are separate matters. And are equally important in their own rights. Stop this "woe be me" drama because the guys you support are being subjected to proper procedures. If a defendant was on trial for a serial killing charge, and it was found that the prosecutor tried to get their sibling to be the defence lawyer, it would constitute a conflict of interest and the court would move to pull them out of the case. Because leaving it be would create a doubt that the trial could be prejudiced against the defendant. You shouldn't then, as a friend of the prosecutor or the defence lawyer, complain that the guy on trial possibly being a serial killer is a bigger problem and your buddy's hijinks should've been ignored.

I would mind this a lot less if appearance of impropriety was cared about/enforced against equally on all sides of the political spectrum.

Again, regardless of actual crimes or impropriety, why the hell would you date/sleep with someone you hired to prosecute a former president during a once in a lifetime case? You couldn’t hold off for a few years? Find someone else? Keep it professional? I just don’t get how incompetent everyone is in all these trump cases.

These are the same people who think Joe Biden is the white knight to save us from Trump. Like really? Thats the best you can come up with. Everywhere you look is pure incompetence.

Remember, many of the people who want high power positions have a very high option of themselves and don't hesitate to go after what they want. This can be a good thing, if channeled properly and tempered with good judgement, but sometimes it can cross the line into narcissistically punching themselves in the mouth.

Honestly, if people put actual thought into whether they should become romantically involved, there would be fewer marriages, and even fewer divorces.

Can you explain why the Supreme Court ruled that states can create and enforce emigration laws that differ from the federal government but can’t decide who is eligible to be on a ballot.

I lived with a Black American for a few years in Ohio, and I believe that her dad was taught to have cash and carry it with them. His grandma, who is white, even told me that about one evening trip she had been on. She has been driving through Kentucky with my ex roommate as a baby, and the sun was going down. She was afraid the entire time that she may end up beaten or dead and with him dead because of their skin colors. It is disgusting, but between the fact people still seem to be that hateful, and things like never going back into the store once you had checked out so they didn't think you stole your groceries/merchandise, I do not believe he has felt like he didn't have to do that.

Even many white women have grown up being taught to stash cash just in case because it is only recent generations that could have bank accounts in just their names. I vividly remember my grandmother with cash hidden all over her apartment. Not to mention a handkerchief of money folded up and safety pinned in her bra when she went in public.

To be fair, as noted in this video she offered the position to someone else first. Also, as far as I can see, the dude did an excellent job on the actual case, he just flubbed the "not doing things unrelated to the case that might cause unnecessary drama" part of his job.
