Professor James Fishman speaks with Courthouse News Service about NRA facing an ‘existential’ New York trial that threatens its future.

Many experts, like Pace University law professor James Fishman, are shocked that the NRA allowed the lawsuit to get this far. “Usually what happens is, if an organization is approached by the attorney general who says ‘you are doing wrong,’ they will do whatever they can to settle before trial,” Fishman said in an interview. “Because it’s disastrous for the organization.

Professor Bennett Gershman tells Salon the court won’t let Trump lawyers try to get jurors to “disregard” the law.

The trial court will likely find that allegations of foreign influence, disinformation and biased prosecutors and other government officials will mostly "confuse" the jury and are evidently "not relevant" to Trump's state of mind, Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at Pace University, told Salon. This is particularly true given that he was “repeatedly” and “strongly” advised by insiders close to him that he lost the election. “It’s a desperate and distracting effort to throw all sorts of wild and irrational claims against the wall and hope that something sticks,” Gershman said. “In legal circles, it’s mockingly referred to as the ‘shotgun’ or ‘kitchen sink’ defense.”
