Someone help me understand why “official acts are inadmissible, and also whether something is an official act may require a searching case-by-case inquiry” doesn’t seriously jeopardize the proceedings in New York State
The ruling is ostensibly under the US constitution, so it shouldn’t matter whether it’s a state-court proceeding
Whatever Merchan does there seems to be fertile ground for a stay & appeals, and/or a remand for a new trial on basis of clear error in admitting “official acts” privileged evidence
