TL;DR, the AG asked for a bench trial, Trump's defense team didn't respond, and so Trump gets a bench trial. It's possible that a jury trial would have been disallowed in this particular case under New York law, but the defense didn't even bother to ask.

Whelp, that's on your people, Donald. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You know you messed up when you run through so many good lawyers that the only people who are still willing to defend you are total goofballs.

Trump is going to be calling public defenders. Better call Saul.

Call Jacob, and Ronnie🎶!

(Sorry, only folks in Los Angeles will get that. But that's a lot of folks.)
