My understanding is the split still allows for Trump to appeal those areas for a more complete exoneration / dismissal.
The added benefit of it not being completely tossed is it allows Letitia to keep twisting herself all up. She is already yelling about how she is not giving up this fight.
Tish would be better advised to turn her attention to her own legal troubles.

No. What did i say indicating that?
Just pointing out they read their biases into someone else's posts.

It is disappointing that they split on the merits instead of overturning on the merits. Setting aside the penalty on 8th amendment grounds is nice, but the finding of fraud when no bank suffered or claimed any damages, and said they would continue to do business with Trump, is absurd.
This case was a massive distortion of a state statute. I suspect the Court of Appeals will address that misuse.

Clay Travis was just opining that the felony convictions are almost certainly getting tossed at some point but if I recall that case is sort of in judicial purgatory until end of Trump's term. Not sure though.
...Judges Dianne T. Renwick and Peter H. Moulton wrote that "the court’s disgorgement order, which directs that defendants pay nearly half a billion dollars to the State of New York, is an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution.” Bravo

Quote:
Finally, even if the trial court's findings of liability are defensible, the grotesquely excessive disgorgement award that the trial court imposed, amounting to nearly a half billion dollars, is not. Indeed, even Justice Moulton, who writes to affirm the liability findings, finds it necessary to vacate the disgorgement award in its entirety. As I have already discussed, the disgorgement award is completely disconnected from any harm conceivably caused by the conduct at issue, violates the constitutional prohibition of excessive fines, and seems to have been intended to destroy President Trump's business organization. In essence, the award amounted to something close to a commercial death penalty. There can be little doubt that something other than a passion for justice and fair play lies behind the imposition of such punishment, on the part of both those who sought it and the court that imposed it. Everyone who lives or does business in New York has a right to expect better from the Attorney General and a court of the state that considers itself the business capital of the world.
Engoron's penalty was so absurdly inflated that it was rejected in its entirety. Not a single judge voted to preserve a single dollar of his fine. He was off by half a billion dollars, which could put him in the Bernie Madoff class of judges... https://t.co/Nz1I6ZbQ2R
