Original Note:
Although there is a question whether a jury trial was available (parties in a civil case with equitable, as opposed to legal, remedies are not entitled to a jury trial), Trump did not have a jury trial because he failed to request one. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/04/politics/trump-new-york-case-no-jury/index.html https://law.justia.com/constitution/us/amendment-07/06-continuing-law-equity-distinction.html
