It’s unsettling to me that the same judge presided over both Carroll v. Trump cases and has now “upheld the judgment.” Wouldn’t simple fairness have dictated that a different judge get a crack at the case? But judge Kaplan is a “senior judge” so I guess he gets to do what he wants.

Woody Allen’s boy, Ronan Farrow, has an article about the Weinstein and Trump cases over at the New Yorker, but with only one day’s lead time, how good could it be?

I’m wondering if such stupidity and brazenness is just another symptom of the breakdown of our legal system, and the small regard and contempt with which more and more people are apparently viewing that system and body of laws.

Regarding the interesting issue of when a jury can be told of earlier transgressions by the defendant:
In the O.J. trial there was the issue of whether or not the jury could be told about an earlier event where O.J. beat his wife quite badly — the photos of her face were truly awful. The judge allowed that evidence to be presented. According to the NYT, “the judge agreed with [the prosecution] argument that Mr. Simpson’s history of stalking and violence had shown motive.” It seems to me that this decision applies equally well in every situation where the defendant is accused of doing something similar to something he had done before.
