NY v Trump has 'reasonable doubt' written all over it. But with Bragg, Merchan antics, outcome is unknowable

Anyone can be falsely accused of a crime. Vindication relies on the right to a fair trial. 

Regrettably, the Manhattan trial of former President Donald Trump bears no resemblance to that cherished constitutional promise. Almost nothing during this five-week trial can be described as remotely fair.   

District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s absurd case made a mockery of our legal system. Judge Juan Merchan compounded the injustice by dismantling the principles of due process that every defendant deserves.
