It does kind of make sense since the same lawyers and the same defendant are stuck in a criminal trial in New York until June.
It's not like they can apparate between New York and Florida.
If only Trump had some kind of way to travel across the country to the places he wants to or is required to be......
Doesn't work if you need to be in two places at the same time.
EXACTLY! And I'm SURE if a Poor Criminal did so many Crimes they were needed in multiple court rooms at the same time the courts would do the EXACT SAME THING!
Actually, yeah, they pretty much do.

Note, that's charging in two different states for the same crime and the courts went in order.
Fortunately these are different cases but you didn’t care about that when you made a bad faith argument.
Technically, in that case, they were different cases as well which is why double jeopardy was not in play.
Remind us all again, which other state is charging him for stealing classified documents
The mental gymnastics are unreal
It's not gymnastics.
In a criminal case, presence is mandatory.
So how do you expect a criminal defendant to appear in two different courthouses at the same time?
Let's finish the NY trial, then he can go on trial somewhere else while waiting on sentencing in NY.
Court #2 can give him a release to attend sentencing then work with that prison system so he can appear in court #2.
Estimates are the NY case should be wrapped up somewhere around the first week in June.
Presence is possible just like campaigning is and hanging out at races. Which one should go first when one is facing multiple trials?
Campaigning and hanging out at races is being done when court is not in session.
If the Florida court demanded he be present at 8 AM on 5/20, and the NY court was in session that day which would ALSO demand his presence, there's literally no way to do that.
He, and his lawyers, can't be running one case in person and running another remotely. That's not going to work.
Can't do the time don't do the crime
Do you practice law in federal court? Not trying to be an asshole, I'm really asking.
I've worked misdemeanors and felonies in a trial court and in both instances, remote appearances were allowed except when the party is testifying. Frankly it sounds fucking ridiculous that they would be forced to show up for anything but trial considering how unlikely it is that Trump does time before sentencing.
Remote appearances are definitely allowed, just not simultaneously in two courtrooms.
The case could've been held and be done with. There was assignment across the various cases. This judge delayed on purpose. Delayed while not freeing up the planned time this case would be held. Thereby trying to mess up the planning of other cases.
Bruh
You probably shouldn’t commit crimes in multiple venues if you don’t want to travel to them for court.
He’s got a giant airplane with his name painted in the side. I’m sure he could figure something out.
That's not going to help him if both courts are in session on the same day, at the same time.
I’m sure they can schedule court sessions day to day. Sub ideal, but it can be done. Doesn’t require months of separation
lol people who aren’t Trump have this happen but you wouldn’t care about that
People who aren't Trump don't have to appear in two courtrooms at the same time either because it's not physically possible.
Say you have a doctors appointment at 8 AM on a Thursday and a 2nd doctor also wants you at the same day and time. One of them HAS to re-schedule.
Except in this case, blowing off one of the two appointments would carry a criminal penalty.
You’re wrong. You could be forced to appear in two. Stop trying to make him a victim.
You can be forced to be in two courts BUT NOT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME.
You can't simultaneously appear before judges in both New York and Florida. Time/Space does not work that way.
Again, the judge purposely made it that the cases would overlap. This could've been done with already. Initially there wasn't any overlap. If you check the actions by this judge it's pretty easy to see that she is delaying plus trying to make it difficult for his other cases to be scheduled.
