The weakest link in this whole criminal justice system. One expert has already listed several ways she can get him off. Once a jury is empaneled, she can dismiss the case and he is off scott free as double jeapordy would attach in this instance. She can overrule objections by the prosecution and uphold those of Trump’s lawyers which can throw a monkey wrench into a lot of the proceedings. My biggest fear is that she will disallow evidence on the flimsiest of excuses and there is a lot of evidence. Of course, if it is eregious enough, an appeal could be made for judicial misconduct. Since she is a Trump appointee I’m not sure if she is smart enough to keep from hanging herself. Hope she has some good lawyers advising her if she wants to remain on the bench.
