Trump took the verdict, because he knew what the verdict would be, no matter what he had for defense. This from a despicable city and DA that regularly turns loose assaulters, robbers, rapists and burglars in current cases.
This way he can appeal, and take the case to a higher court, and hopefully a change of venue.
One very slick (crooked) thing the plaintiff did and the judge (?) allowed..She couldn't remember when the alleged incident happened.
Since she can't 'remember', the hour, day or even the year...there is no way Trump can produce an honest alibi.
If she produced a day or even week he was supposed to have done this, he may very well be able to PROVE he was in France, Scotland or the Bahamas that week.
Newsmax said this morning, that the "judge" refused to allow some DNA evidence.
As soon as the suit was announced for Manhattan, Donald knew he stood as goos a chance as the Proud Boys would before a jury
composed of BLM activists..
