The Queens Daily Eagle news story continues:
... The trial was overseen by another man from the World’s Borough, Justice Juan Merchan, who was raised in Jackson Heights.
Despite their shared hometown, Trump had no love for his fellow Queens man following the trial’s conclusion on Thursday.
“This was a disgrace,” Trump said. “This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt.” ...
Despite the conviction, Trump was released on his own recognizance Thursday, being spared a trip to Rikers Island, the home of the city’s notorious jail complex which happens to be part of the same borough the former president was raised in.
Good to see that Queens still has its own local rag.
