Former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump's New York legal team didn't forget to check a box that would have entitled them to a jury trial for his fraud case instead of a bench trial.
"They didn't make a mistake because they didn't have the option," Napolitano said during an appearance on Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "The statute under which the attorney general sued does not provide for a jury trial, even if both sides want one. So, in this case, you're stuck with whoever the judge is, and the judge is effectively judge and jury.
"The only issue remaining in the trial is how much money, if any, does the Trump Organization have to disgorge and pay over to the state." "The judge's last statement was very fair," Trump told waiting journalists outside the courtroom. "The way I interpret that ... the statute of limitations is a very real thing in this country, and that would mean 80% of this case would be over."
