I think if a mistrial is declared, and they continue to call Trump a convicted felon, the several hundred million he’s raised recently will go a LONG way toward suing a whole lotsa slanderers.
Well you know the answer there. For the people that want to scream Trump is a criminal felon, they have all they need. No matter what happens subsequent to the guilty verdict, in their contorted mind the first verdict will always prevail.
If this case get overturned on appeal, then the loons will claim the appeal court was corrupt. But most likely what is happening is by declaring mistrial this will necessitate a new trial, and the new trial can be used to keep Trump under a gag order until after election.
Perhaps Trump can sue NY State (or other parties; Bragg, etc.) alleging that the trial was created for the purpose of election interference. In that case, propaganda outlets that would try to claim "Trump IS a felon" during an election year could theoretically be held liable for defamation, or election interference, themselves. Also, criminal conspiracy to interfere with an election.
I am mot sure how exactly that would work in the legal sense. Maybe some kind of injunction, or other legal decree could prohibit libel/slander against Trump in this particular case, due to tue "election interference" element?
Leaking to declare mistrial. Halts the bitch slapping he’ll get from appeals court and still gets to label Trump as a convicted felon.
Wouldn't the mistrial void the trial and the verdict?
Propagandists still get their headline and get a whole miscarriage of justice spin as icing.
Sure, but who gives a flying fart what the MSM says?
But if it is a shitpost, they were STUPID enough to run with it.
Agreed. They will talk that is a technicality, but still saying he was convicted. MSM demons sucks.

Not in the court of public opinion. That was their goal all along.
The court of public opinion is no longer dependent on the MSM reporting, although there are an unfortunate number who are still asleep.

Agreed. And trying to stem the tide of Trump's popularity swing so Hochul doesn't have to pardon him.

The lawyers on retainer at all of the MSM outlets know exactly where the line is.
Remember, Trump is a public figure, so they do have more leeway with what they report.
Also, headlines can shape opinion even if the articles themselves have little to do with said headlines.
