Why #jurors in the NY #criminal #TrumpTrial can’t have a copy of the #JuryInstructions:

The prohibition against jurors being provided a copy of written #legal instructions comes from a 1987 decision by the #NewYork Court of Appeals in #PeopleVOwens.

The #courtofappeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America’s reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures – an era that began with a flood of #allegations.

I believe Cannon's wildly-unlawful interference in the criminal investigation of Trump, properly and loudly bench-slapped by the circuit court, mean that the "look incompetent" ship has already sailed.

I truly hope that has made her more cautious and causes her to toe the legal line. @Popehat says that frequently occurs when a trial judge is smacked down that hard, but with these inexperienced judges appointed on purely a partisan basis, it's hard to keep that faith.
