Trump may try to delay his first federal trial – it's a common legal strategy to fend off a criminal conviction

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, August 3, 2023

Trump’s legal team unsuccessfully pushed Cannon to delay his trial until after the election.

Key Points: 
  • Trump’s legal team unsuccessfully pushed Cannon to delay his trial until after the election.
  • Federal prosecutors, meanwhile, wanted the trial to begin as early as December 2023.
  • He is expected to be arraigned on Aug. 3, 2023, but it is not yet clear when his trial will begin.

Delay can be good for defendants

    • In criminal cases in which the defendant is not in jail awaiting trial, there is a common belief that delay is good for defendants.
    • Trump’s defense team could try to delay the trial by filing various pretrial motions – meaning questions or requests to the court.
    • These legal requests could focus on what kind of evidence to admit or exclude at trial, or which witnesses should testify.
    • Indeed, one Republican candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, is urging all of the GOP 2024 White House contenders to commit to pardoning Trump.

Different ways to push the date

    • Before the May 2024 trial date, Trump’s defense lawyers could argue that they need more time to adequately prepare for trial.
    • They could use this justification to push the start date back.
    • They could argue that, without more time, Trump will not get a fair trial because they will not be able to represent him effectively.
    • Trump’s lawyers are almost certain to ask that Cannon keep that evidence out of the trial by asking a different trial judge in Florida to rule that way.

Too early for action

    • At this point, before there has been an exchange of discovery and witness lists, it is too early for Trump’s defense to appeal the May 2024 trial date.
    • It is also too early from a strategic point of view.
    • Even if Cannon does not grant an additional Trump request for delay, the defense could always appeal any such denial.

Despite calls for her to recuse herself from Trump's criminal case, Judge Aileen Cannon's situation doesn't meet the standard for when a judge should step away

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, July 25, 2023

Reasons for such a delay could involve either the defense or prosecution filing various requests that draw the process out.

Key Points: 
  • Reasons for such a delay could involve either the defense or prosecution filing various requests that draw the process out.
  • The trial is scheduled to happen after most of the Republican primaries are held, but before the November 2024 presidential election.
  • The judge in question usually decides the motion, and, if the judge does not voluntarily step down, the petitioner may appeal the decision to the court of appeals.
  • The court of appeals rarely second-guesses the trial judge’s decision to stay on a case over a party’s objection.

Key Points: 
  • Reasons for such a delay could involve either the defense or prosecution filing various requests that draw the process out.
  • The fact that Trump appointed Cannon to the bench is not a good enough reason for her to recuse herself from the case.

  • The court of appeals rarely second-guesses the trial judge’s decision to stay on a case over a party’s objection.
