SaysWho? Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Judge sets March 4, 2024, as Trump trial date in election interference case WWW.NPR.ORG The judge overseeing a criminal case against former President Donald Trump for interfering with the 2020 presidential election has set a trial date of March 4, 2024. Quote "I take seriously the defense's request that Mr. Trump be treated like any other defendant appearing before this court, and I intend to do so," said the judge, a longtime former public defender. Quote "Setting a trial date does not depend and should not depend on a defendant's personal obligations," the judge said. She said setting a trial date while considering a professional athlete's schedule would be "inappropriate" and the same would be true in a case involving a former president running to return to the White House. “The public has a right to a prompt and efficient resolution of this matter,” Chutkan said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I've read that the trial date isn't even appealable. 6 months is plenty of time for a single defendant facing 4 counts, backed by a bunch of lawyers, to prepare for a criminal trial 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
