We begin with a quick review of some of the stranger legal issues raised in this week’s Presidential debate, including such mysteries as whether it is legal to murder babies upon delivery and the factual guilt of the Central Park Five 22 years after they were exonerated by DNA evidence and a third-party confession. In our main story, we review the chaos that the Supreme Court’s legalization of Presidential crime is already causing in Donald Trump’s hush-money case and discuss the relative merits of pushing his sentencing back until after the November election. Finally, Matt drops a footnote to explain an overlooked legal story in this week’s news involving a remarkably rare grant of a common defense motion.

• Filings from People v. Trump (NYCourts website)

• SDNY Judge Hellerstein’s order denying Trump’s notice of removal (9/3/24)

• Justice Merchan’s order continuing Trump’s sentencing hearing to November 26, 2024 (9/6/24)
