'Whole Case Overturned' - Trump Trial Stunner Before Sentencing

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and there is some good news

for former President Donald Trump after he was convicted on all those counts in Manhattan

Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe. Those little things

really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow. The wheels of justice tend to

move very slowly and that can be very frustrating for people, especially those of us who are looking

for a quick resolution before an election, you know, an important one, let's say presidential

election. You want a quick resolution and sometimes those wheels of justice, they just

they move slow. You know, if you've ever been to a court, you know that that's the case, right? So

now, you know, here comes former President Donald Trump's sentencing and it's scheduled for July

It's scheduled for July 11th, I believe, and you know, the Republican National Convention just a

few days later. But the whole case might actually be overturned and there's actually good reason to

overturn the case and that's the good news for President Trump, but he has to wait for the

sentencing before he can even appeal. I want you to take a look at this and let me know what you

think about what's being said here. Will this case be overturned? Was Trump railroaded? Let me know

in the comments right after you watch this. I've always seen in these trials in the past, Jonathan

and maybe you and I have talked about them where, you know, it is sentencing day and usually the

person who has been targeted has notes or letters or comments, but friends or colleagues who say

wonderful things about him or her, depending on the case. And I'm wondering if the judge has a

sentence in mind, does he say, oh, I was going to give him 20 years now, I think I'll give him 10

because he has all these nice, you know, people vouching for him. Or does it move the needle at all

I think it can move the needle on the margins. I think judges generally come in

with a fairly good idea of a narrow range where they want to send someone

Sometimes the allocution, sometimes the statement of the defendant can actually irritate a judge

and push you towards the top of that, that bandwidth for the judge. I think that people

coming in and talking about the person can have some influence. With Trump, I don't believe that's

going to be the case. Like everything else about this case, he came fully baked in the view of many

people, jurors and judge. I think people have this idea of who Trump is. They either love him or they

hate him. I've never met anyone in the middle of those two camps. And so I don't think that the

needle is going to move much here. But it also would be absurd to send him to jail. He is an

elderly first offender, nonviolent crime in a very controversial prosecution. This whole case

could could be overturned ultimately on appeal. I think that Judge Mershawn would be considerably

outside the navigational beacons to send him to even a day in jail. Still, he's going to face

enormous political pressure, right, to do something. And it could go both ways, right? Those who want

to see Donald Trump in prison and those who fear that if he does go to prison, even for a short

amount of time, it's going to cement his return to the White House. So does he weigh that or is

he beyond the policy? I think that's true. Well, he's not supposed to. And I have to say, I don't

mean to be gratuitous towards the judge. But after sitting in that courtroom, I wouldn't be surprised

by anything. I thought he was really quite biased in terms of his rulings. They went very heavily

towards the prosecution. I don't know if he normally is known as a pro prosecution judge

but some of his rulings did not make a lot of sense. There's a lot of pressure. You know, when

I came out of that courtroom after the verdict, it was like the Roman games. I mean, people were

ecstatic to a point that it was difficult to watch. People were dancing in the streets

That's the environment around this courthouse. And there were other people who were in deep

agony and sorrow. It was a picture of the United States, and it was not necessarily a good one. I

mean, I stood there for a second and took it in because it was such a bizarre bifurcated scene
