Will the NYS case declaring that Trump committed fraud on his financials [View all]
severely and consistently have any effect on his pending trials?
IOW, the NY case demonstrates that Trump won't hesitate to lie when he believes it benefits him.
Won't that affect voire dire (choosing jury panels), the actual juries or the presiding judge? They claim they'll be impartial, but it's out there that he lies.
Are they supposed to suspend their tendency to believe that humans are consistent in their behavior? Will they listen to testimony, review documents, consider attorneys' cases that Trump lied this one time (pending the NY case being overturned in the future), but he's not lying in the particular case?
How does this change anything?
