Excerpt:
"New York state appeals court on Thursday threw out an approximately half-billion-dollar penalty that Donald Trump had been ordered to pay after a judge found the U.S. president fraudulently overstated the value of his properties and other assets to bolster his family business.
The decision by a five-judge panel of the Appellate Division in Manhattan represented a defeat for New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office brought the civil fraud lawsuit against Trump in 2022."

    Me dino knows of a gator pond off Highway 231 in the Florida Panhandle.
    During the Seventies someone who lives close to there told me she could hear the male "bulls" roar mating calls at night.
    Been there. Its choked with grassy weeds. So I would not want to swim across that pond even in the day time.
    Still, it would be a good place to burden certain kinds of people dropped off in the middle of all that muck with a heavy life preserver.

    Good victory, but not enough. Now he needs to appeal the rest of the witch hunt soviet style court rulings. The Marxist judge and prosecutor need to spend some time in a gulag of their own making they were hoping to send Trump to (oh, and send that hand picked commie NY jury with them).

    Finally, the absolutely ridiculous penalty amount for a non-crime is reversed. The 8th Amendment still stands for something.
