MODERATORS
With this judge having been appointed by Trump and already having her rulings overturned for blatant favoritism towards him, does anyone seriously think this is going to be a fair trial?
I read an article from NYT on her that actually painted her in a much better light, despite her overturned ruling. They even talked about how that overturned decision wasn't that unreasonable under normal circumstances. If she ends up being too favorable, she can very quickly be removed. At this point, with all eyes on her, I would imagine she would try to be fair about it. So do I think it's going to be a fair trial? I'd give it a solid maybe.
Just found the article- thanks for mentioning it. Good to hear a different perspective on the whole thing. We will see how things shape up over the next year.

Thank you for following up and posting the link!
It might be in his favor as the judge controls what is allowed and what is not to be presented. But ultimately the decision falls on the jury. The fact that her previous decisions were overturned by appellate court might also make her more cautious about showing favoritism.
If it even makes it that far. She could just dismiss the case entirely— and that’s not appealable I believe. I’m really hoping she’ll be a truly neutral arbiter, but I’m not holding my breath.
Dismissal without prejudice allows the procecuting party to just re-file the charges once the cause for dismissal is addressed. And there are very limited cirmustances where dismissal with prejudice is applicable.
