In reading and responding to another post, to occurred to me that perversion of the law was used to get Trump in the case of Jean Carroll vs Donald Trump. Unfortunately this perversion was essentially overlooked as the media was hot on on (falsely) painting Trump as a morally corrupt person. It deserves repeating this perversion in this thread.
Imagine this hypothetical over-the-top example that shows the ludicrousness of the Carrol vs Trump case. Trump tosses out a piece of chewing gum in July 1, 2020, @12.00PM, @the corner of Main and Broadway, a misdemeanor. The misdemeanor expired on 2021. Now to get Trump, a new law is passed in 2024, that allows the misdemeanor to be resurrected for anyone who tossed gum on July 1, 2020 @12.00PM @the corner of Main and Broadway. Clearly this is a perversion of the legal system designed to enable the filing of a criminal and/or civil action against one person, in this case Trump. "Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime." (Lavrentiy Beria). Meanwhile, everyone else who just happened to toss a piece of chewing gum before July 1, 2020 or after that time anywhere in New York just happens gets a "free" pass for their atrocious criminal activity (sarcasm).
How a new law allowed E. Jean Carroll to seek justice against Trump years later
Survivors of sexual assault and advocates helped pass the Adult Survivors Act in New York that was instrumental to Carroll’s civil case.

Essentially this "law" was equivalent to a "Bill of Attainder", an unconstitutional act. Basically, this so-called "law" made a mockery of the statute of limitations. Just as Bragg is doing in his case against Trump.The law opened a one-time window for adult sexual assault survivors in New York to file a civil case against an abuser or institution that protected the abuser — no matter when the assault took place, even if it’s outside the statute of limitations. But that window expires in six months.
