GREGG JARRETT (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): If jurors abide by their duty to examine the evidence presented within the four corners of that courtroom, and not to make a decision for a political or a personal reason that they may dislike the accused, then this case should take about five minutes for an acquittal. Obviously, it's going to take a lot longer than that — they've got to go through it all.
But look, but think about what he is charged with, falsifying business records with a felonious intent to commit another crime, a crime that's not charged and a crime in which prosecutors won't even tell the defendant what it is. It's a mystery crime. You know, that is such an egregious violation of the Sixth Amendment. An accused is entitled to know the specific accusations against him.
This judge is so biased, Juan Merchan, that he's not making Alvin Bragg do that. It's as if Merchan has taken off his black robe, stepped down from the bench, and he is now sitting at the prosecution table determined to help engineer a wrongful conviction. So, you know, with all that, you know, can jurors see through this charade? I hope so.
