It means his attorney is an idiot who forgot to request a jury as required within 15 days in NY, so it will be a bench trial decided entirely by a judge who’s already had it with his shit, and it’s almost guaranteed he will straight lose the case in the worse way due to his attorney’s incompetence.
edit: more on the judge having had it with them before, they are getting no favors from this guy
He’ll appeal on ineffective assistance of counsel.
The Strickland court also noted that judicial evaluation of the attorney’s performance “must be highly deferential.” For example, a convicted defendant who alleges ineffective assistance must identify the specific “acts or omissions of counsel” they believe falls below the objective standard of reasonableness. Additionally, the burden lies with the defendant to prove that they were “harmed by [their] attorney’s conduct” and that there is a “reasonable probability” that the outcome of the criminal proceeding would have been different if not for the attorney’s errors.
Only the very last phrase is what would decide that appeal.
Probably. Also possible the judge will say something like “too bad, I’ve had enough of your bs delays.” Although based on what’s happened so far, the likelihood of a different outcome with this representation is pretty low, if not laughable.
