In a recent article, Bradley R. Gitz discusses various legal matters with political implications. Gitz addresses the use of the term “convicted felon” when referring to Donald Trump, arguing that the charges against Trump in Alvin Bragg’s hush money case are not taken seriously by most people. He criticizes the politicization of justice and warns against mentioning Bragg’s case as it only enhances Trump’s support. Gitz also condemns Trump’s comments about members of the House Jan. 6 Committee and criticizes the idea of Joe Biden issuing blanket pardons in response.
Gitz argues that preemptive pardons for Trump’s opponents would set a dangerous precedent that would incentivize lawlessness and abuses of power. He also warns that expanding presidential immunity could allow a future president to become authoritarian. Gitz discusses the acquittal of Daniel Penny in another politically motivated trial by Bragg, highlighting the issue of racialized justice.
Gitz concludes by questioning whether society should encourage citizens to intervene in dangerous situations or stand idly by out of fear of criminal prosecution. He suggests that having more individuals like Penny, who intervene in troubling situations, would make the streets safer. Overall, Gitz’s article raises concerns about the political implications of legal matters and calls for a fair and just legal system.
