Dershowitz: Judges Won’t Overturn Trump’s Conviction Since They’d Be Ostracized From Society As I’ve Been

Dershowitz said the former president “has to appeal first through the New York system, and the New York system are all judges that don’t wanna be responsible for freeing Donald Trump. These are people who have to live with their families. These are people who don’t wanna be Dershowitzed.”

“People know what happened to me when I defended Donald Trump on the floor of the Senate. Nobody on Martha’s Vineyard would speak to me….I am not encouraged that he’ll get a fair appeal,” Dershowitz said.
