Trump verdict has started 'war of weaponization of the criminal justice system,' legal experts warn
Fox News
Legal experts say the former President Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in New York has 'weaponized' the justice system for politics.
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz is among those who have called the facts of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against Trump an "absolute joke." He warned on Friday that if Trump can't get justice in New York through the appeal process, it'll be open season for Republican prosecutors to target Democrats in deep-red districts.

"This is the beginning of a war of weaponization of the criminal justice system," Dershowtz said on "Mornings with Maria" on FOX Business. "The legal system failed. Our system of checks and balances, which is the great contribution that the American Constitution made, failed yesterday."
