To the editor: In saying that former President Trump's criminal trial in New York hardly warrants a "meh," UCLA law professor Richard L. Hasen sounds like a sportscaster before any sporting event, touting one team over the other. He opines on how the event will play out and the fan reactions to the perceived outcome. Everybody has an opinion about Trump's criminal trial related to his pre-2016 election payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, but no one can say for sure what will occur and how...
