Harvard Law Professor and author, Alan Dershowitz, has expressed his concerns regarding the convictions against former President Donald Trump, which he attributes to a prejudiced court, a biased jury, and a corrupt judge.
Dershowitz, like many others, is perplexed by the ambiguity surrounding the alleged crime committed by Trump. As the case against Trump, led by Democrat operatives, concluded last week, the prosecution failed to clearly define the criminal act that the former President was accused of. Despite this, the court seemed prepared to declare Trump guilty and sentence him to prison.
Judge Juan Merchan, who Dershowitz alleges is anti-Trump, instructed the jury that they could consider whether Trump violated any of the following laws: the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), which pertains to federal election campaign law; Falsification of Business Records; and Tax Laws.
Interestingly, Judge Merchan informed the jury that they did not need to agree on the specific crime committed. They merely had to believe that a criminal act had occurred to find Trump guilty. Dershowitz considers this to be one of the most egregious distortions of the justice system in US history.
Two days after the verdict, the crime for which Trump was convicted remains unclear. The court has not defined the broken law, and neither the judge nor the jury have provided any clarification.
Dershowitz highlighted this issue, stating, "I want to say right now, I side with President Trumps assessment of the judicial system more than President Bidens assessment. Im a liberal Democrat. I voted for Biden. Biden is dead wrong. We should not respect the legal system that is rigged."
In his book, 'Get Trump,' Dershowitz predicted a conviction months before the trial, attributing it to a biased judge, jury, and prosecutor. He believes that the prosecutor, who ran for office on the premise of finding a crime to prosecute Trump for, fabricated the crime when he couldn't find one.
Dershowitz, who has been involved in criminal law for 60 years, is still uncertain about the crime for which Trump was found guilty. He questions whether it was an intention to violate tax laws, federal election laws, or to defraud voters.
Dershowitz compared the situation to a quote from Lavrentiy Beria, the head of the KGB under Stalin, who said to Stalin, "Show me the man and I'll find you the crime."
He believes that this case will be remembered as one of the most abusive prosecutions since the trial of Aaron Burr.
Dershowitz, now a Professor Emeritus, believes that the Supreme Court should overturn this case. He stated, "Again, he was convicted of things that werent crimes I think theres a way of expediting the appeal, skipping the appellate division, going right to the Court of Appeals, ask for an expedited appeal with a decision within a month, and then take it to the Supreme Court."
He believes that the Supreme Court should reverse the conviction and allow the voters to decide who should be president without the influence of an illegal prosecution. Dershowitz also suggests that Judge Merchan should be the one facing prison for corrupting the legal system for personal gain.
