The day after switching to daylight saving time, suicide rates were found to rise by 6% by Eric Osborne-Christenson, an assistant professor of economics and associate chair of the Economics Department at Pace University, as published in the journal Health Economics. While it’s still up for debate on which time will be used, research suggests that a change needs to be made.

"People are considerably more resilient than is commonly assumed, so I did not anticipate substantial mental health effects," said Anthony Mancini (opens in new tab), a clinical psychologist at Pace University who was not involved in the current study but who published similar findings in the journal Psychological Medicine (opens in new tab) in 2021.

Although they ripped people from their daily routines and increased isolation, they also cut down on stressful day-to-day hassles like commuting.

Pace University Law Professor Randolph M. McLaughlin equated Trump's legal team's actions to those of children.

"When children do this — go from one parent to another — if the parents aren’t aware of what the kid is doing, the kid can get away with things. But once the parent is aware the child is playing them against each other, the game is over,” he explained.

McLaughlin stressed how rare it is for a lawyer to do what Kaplan did: contact a judge in a separate case to flag questionable behavior. “I’ve never seen a situation like this where a lawyer who’s not before the court puts the court on notice on what the defendant is doing in the federal case. I think Engoron is going to slam with this,” McLaughlin said. “It’s highly irregular. Then again, we’ve never seen so many actions filed against one person all over the place.”

"He's the key witness. He'll put all the things together in terms of how the deal was made," said former prosecutor Bennett Gershman, who is following the case closely.
