    It does kind of make sense since the same lawyers and the same defendant are stuck in a criminal trial in New York until June.

    It’s not like they can apparate between New York and Florida.

      EXACTLY! And I’m SURE if a Poor Criminal did so many Crimes they were needed in multiple court rooms at the same time the courts would do the EXACT SAME THING!

        People who aren’t Trump don’t have to appear in two courtrooms at the same time either because it’s not physically possible.

        Say you have a doctors appointment at 8 AM on a Thursday and a 2nd doctor also wants you at the same day and time. One of them HAS to re-schedule.

        Except in this case, blowing off one of the two appointments would carry a criminal penalty.

          You’re wrong. You could be forced to appear in two. Stop trying to make him a victim.

            You can be forced to be in two courts BUT NOT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME.

            You can’t simultaneously appear before judges in both New York and Florida. Time/Space does not work that way.

              Again, the judge purposely made it that the cases would overlap. This could’ve been done with already. Initially there wasn’t any overlap. If you check the actions by this judge it’s pretty easy to see that she is delaying plus trying to make it difficult for his other cases to be scheduled.
