Trump's team compared his case to Powell v. Alabama, which overturned the convictions of nine Black boys accused of raping two white women in the 1930s.
of raping two white women in the 1930s, retired California Superior Court Judge LaDoris Hazzard Cordell explained. “And what the Trump team did was say that, ‘Well, what happened in that trial is what could happen here, in this trial,’ which is absolutely absurd,” Cordell toldThe nine boys—usually referred to the Scottsboro Boys— were indicted and on trial within a week. They didn’t even get to chose their own attorneys. But Trump’s “trial date is seven months out.
Cordell said she thought that U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan was “offended” by the argument. “So, hopefully, there’s a learning curve, on the lawyers’ side, to not go rogue like this again and take cases that have absolutely nothing in common and try to show that they do have something in common, which in this case, they did not,” Cordell said.The trial date was just the latest legal loss Trump experienced.
“He is a nightmare for his lawyers. I mean, you have somebody like Trump, who has a fragile ego, who is a misogynist, who is a racist, in my view, and who also has this constant need to talk? Then, there’s a term for that, logorrhea. Then, that is a real problem,” she told CNN. “It’s going to be an issue for his lawyers to try to keep him quiet, even in the courtroom.”
Having Trump in the court room will be...a lot. “A Black woman judge is going to be there, telling him when he can talk and how to behave,” Cordell said. “So, this is going to be a very interesting, interesting trial.”
