Dershowitz Says Trump Won’t Be a Convicted Felon for Long – Courts ARE ‘Going to Reverse’ It

Alan Dershowitz said Friday he’s certain that the conviction of President Donald Trump in the New York hush money case will be overturned on appeal.
Speaking on Newsmax’s The Record with Greta Van Susteren, Dershowitz said Trump’s legal team is preparing to appeal the Manhattan case, even though a formal sentence has not been issued.
“The case is going to be appealed,” Dershowitz said. “Trump has hired Sullivan and Cromwell to be his lawyers to appeal the case.”
Trump was convicted in January. The US Supreme Court declined to intervene in the case, and Judge Juan Merchan issued an unconditional discharge with no jail time, fines, or probation.
Dershowitz, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, acknowledged the unusual nature of the sentencing but said the door to appeal remains open.
“[Merchan] gave a sentence that was a non-sentence,” Dershowitz told Van Susteren. “But it’s enough to end the case and allow him to appeal.”
Dershowitz said Trump’s legal team would first take the case to the appellate division in New York, then to the state’s Court of Appeals, and potentially to the Supreme Court.
