Explicado: Por qué los abogados de Trump quieren que el caso se traslade

La oleada de actividad en Georgia, con el expresidente Donald Trump y presuntos cómplices fotografiado y tomado sus huellas dactilares en una cárcel, podría dar la impresión de un juicio rápido por las acusaciones en su contra de que conspiraron para socavar los resultados de las elecciones de 2020 allí. Pero algunos acusados están intentando que el juicio se traslade del sistema judicial del estado. a un tribunal federal, una medida que podría retrasar significativamente cualquier fecha de inicio. ¿Por qué? No hicimos nada malo en absoluto. Nima Rahmani es ex fiscal federal y presidenta de West Coast Trial Lawyers. bufete de abogados en Los Ángeles. Si el caso efectivamente se traslada a un tribunal federal en el Distrito Norte de Georgia, eso es una ventaja para Trump por varias razones. Uno, consiguieron un nuevo juez y Trump nombró a muchos de los jueces del Distrito Norte. de Georgia. Pero también el jurado se ampliará un poco más. No vas a tener que lidiar con posibles jurados liberales en el condado de Fulton. Va a ser más bien una mezcla de cosas. Como dice Rahmani, el jurado más amplio incluiría personas de áreas más conservadoras. que el condado de Fulton, que votó por Biden en las elecciones de 2020 por casi tres a un margen. El argumento legal para acudir a un tribunal federal se centra en una ley llamada Oficial Federal Estatuto de destitución. Está diseñado para proteger a las personas de ser procesadas por los estados por llevar a cabo actos federales. deberes. Se refiere principalmente a funcionarios del gobierno de Estados Unidos. Uno de los coacusados de Trump, su exjefe de gabinete de la Casa Blanca, Mark Meadows, es un ejemplo. Meadows ha dicho en documentos judiciales que los actos que describe en Georgia la acusación entraba dentro de sus funciones como jefe de gabinete. Es decir, concertar reuniones para el presidente y concertar llamadas telefónicas. El contraargumento de los fiscales es que Meadows estaba llevando a cabo actividades políticas. En otras palabras, apoyar abiertamente una campaña política, que algunos empleados de EE.UU. El gobierno tiene prohibido hacerlo en virtud de una ley llamada Ley Hatch. Meadows dice que su actividad política es un discurso protegido. La deportación a un tribunal federal en casos penales es poco común. Así que la Corte Suprema no ha abordado directamente la cuestión en este caso, pero en general ha sostuvo que la actividad de campaña está fuera del alcance de los deberes oficiales. Esto es en un contexto de inmunidad civil. Así que creo que es poco probable que Trump, Mark Meadows y otros tengan éxito. para que sus casos sean trasladados a un tribunal federal. Por supuesto, Donald Trump intentó hacer lo mismo en Nueva York, y el juez allí dictaminó que Los pagos a la ex estrella porno Stormy Daniels están fuera del alcance del gobierno oficial. deberes. Cualquier retraso en estos procedimientos también podría ser una gran parte de la estrategia del equipo Trump. Los fiscales quieren que el juicio comience el 23 de octubre de este año. Los abogados de Trump dicen que necesitan más tiempo para prepararse y quieren que se traslade a 2026, después de la elección. Si Trump fuera reelegido presidente, ¿podría o no ser encarcelado si es declarado culpable? sigue siendo una cuestión constitucional sin respuesta.
