  • Prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz and legal analyst Gregg Jarrett, Friday on Fox News, called out New York Judge Juan Merchan for his updated sentencing schedule, saying that city officials and the judge brought a "sham trial" against President-elect Donald Trump.

The article discusses the criticisms leveled by legal experts Alan Dershowitz and Gregg Jarrett against Judge Juan Merchan in relation to former President Donald Trump's trial. Dershowitz described the trial as the "worst instance of Stalinism" he has seen, suggesting that the judicial process was biased and unfair. He criticized the gag order imposed on Trump, arguing it infringes on Trump's First Amendment rights by preventing him from responding to public attacks. Jarrett echoed these sentiments, calling the trial a "sham" and pointing out what he perceives as judicial overreach and bias by Merchan, particularly in how the judge has managed the courtroom and the evidence presented. Both commentators argue that the trial's conduct undermines the principles of justice and fairness, likening it to oppressive historical precedents.
