Being elected president will likely result in the federal criminal cases against him being dismissed, while his state criminal cases could at the least be frozen until after he leaves office. Trump’s legal team, meanwhile, is evaluating its next steps for how to get all four criminal cases resolved, and plan to argue soon that all of the cases “must stop immediately,” according to a source directly involved in the discussions. Here's a look at where the various legal cases against Trump stand — and how they could be affected by his victory. They argue that some of the evidence presented to the grand jury and at the criminal trial should not have been allowed in the wake of the high court's ruling. Trump's victory likely won't impact his pending appeals of the civil judgments against him that total more than $550 million.

SAG HARBOR, N.Y. — Justin Timberlake appeared virtually at a Friday hearing for his driving while intoxicated case, where the judge announced the pop star's driver's license would be suspended and admonished his lawyer over "irresponsible" comments. The singer, 43, claimed he had just “one martini” before he was pulled over. He pleaded not guilty and his attorney, Edward Burke Jr., said in a statement at the time: “I look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake on these allegations. But once police spoke to Timberlake, they said, it was clear he was not in shape to drive, according to the complaint, written by Sag Harbor Village Police Officer Michael Arkinson. Timberlake struggled to walk heel-to-toe and stand on one foot without swaying or using arms to balance, the report said.

Prosecutors will need a mountain of evidence to cast Alec Baldwin as a criminally negligent gunman, skeptical defense criminal lawyers said Friday, as Hollywood appeared to rally around the oft-polarizing actor. But prosecutors insist they have FBI lab reports that show Baldwin did fire the fatal round. "Is there some intentional act that placed that live round there that we know nothing about? She urged prosecutors to stop "blaming the victim" and rhetorically asked "how about investigating who put the live round into the gun?" "Nobody is asking who put the live round into the prop gun," tweeted Fisher, best known for her role in "Titanic."

☆ Brian Walshe searched 'Can you be charged with murder without a body?' History says yes.

Brian Walshe, center, listens at his arraignment Wednesday at Quincy District Court, in Quincy, Mass., on a charge of murdering his wife, Ana Walshe. Craig F. Walker / The Boston Globe via AP, PoolThe remains of Ana Walshe, 39, who was last seen around New Year's Day, have not been recovered. via Cohasset PoliceProsecutors also said that Brian Walshe searched Dec. 27 for “what’s the best state to divorce for a man” — and that “rather than divorce, it is believed that Brian Walshe dismembered Ana Walshe and discarded her body,” Beland said. Joseph Romano's lawyers filed to appeal the conviction in 2006 but were denied based on the strength of the circumstantial evidence, court records show. And the lack of a body most likely wouldn't serve as a mitigating factor in sentencing, Cevallos said: “A murder conviction’s a murder conviction."

Protecting property does not typically justify the use of lethal force under Washington, D.C., law, legal and criminal justice experts said as police investigate the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old boy in Washington over the weekend. Legal experts agreed that deadly force is not a legally justifiable way to defend property, except, perhaps, in cases of self-defense or home intrusion. "I know of no law that allows for deadly force purely in the defense of property," NBC News legal analyst Danny Cevallos said. "It’s always been the case that you can’t use deadly force to protect your property." But he added that in Washington and in most of the country, the use lethal force is not allowed in defense of property.

☆ 6-year-old is unlikely to be charged in teacher's shooting, but parents could be, experts say

The 6-year-old boy accused of shooting his Virginia teacher Friday with a gun he took from home is unlikely to be charged, but his parents could be criminally culpable depending on if they properly secured the weapon, experts said. The boy shot Zwerner with a 9mm Taurus firearm he obtained from his home, Drew said. NBC News legal analyst Danny Cevallos said it’s highly unlikely the boy will be charged, even in juvenile court. In recent years, several adults have been charged in Virginia after a child has fired an unsecured gun. In October 2013, the Virginian-Pilot reported the parents of an elementary school student in Norfolk were charged with child neglect after their son brought a handgun to school.

There’s no parole in the federal prison system and good behavior credits are in short supply compared to most states. More likely, Shah would be told a date, at least a month out, to surrender herself at a federal facility. Her best hope would be to be deemed most appropriate for a minimum security camp. “A minimum-security camp, I mean even moving up to next level, which is still ‘low security’ that’s a huge difference. If you’re eligible for a camp, you’ll go to Alaska if you can go to a camp.” Share this -Link copied

☆ Rudy Giuliani could lose his law license false over election claims. Should he?

The counsel, Hamilton Fox, alleges Giuliani had frivolous reasons for claiming election fraud in his suit before a federal district court in Pennsylvania. But those rules require that a complaint alleging fraud must state the fraud with “particularity,” i.e., provide specific facts. Given all this, Fox makes a compelling case that Giuliani drew up an argument and submitted papers to a federal district court that were almost certainly frivolous. Moreover, the lawyer ordinarily files the complaint based on what the lawyer knows at the time of filing. But in most cases, the appropriate response to a poorly supported fraud filing is the one that’s always before the court: to dismiss the case.

☆ Danny Masterson trial hung jury gives defense team a second shot at this strategy

A criminal defendant is presumed to be innocent. And that’s why the decision not to put Masterson or other defense witnesses on the stand made sense. Criminal defendants testify in a minefield that accusers do not. For starters, a criminal defendant might inadvertently “open the door” to harmful evidence that otherwise would be inadmissible. Because the first trial has now ended in a hung jury, the defense may rethink their original strategy.

LOS ANGELES — One Hollywood star claimed he was arrested and charged on multiple counts of rape by police and prosecutors who are biased against his church. Another prominent Hollywood figure charged with rape contends he was set up by members of a church he has publicly renounced. In both cases, the church in question is the Church of Scientology. Haggis denied Breest’s rape allegation in a counter-complaint and accused her and her lawyer of trying to extort $9 million from him. “She decided she had to do something.”In the Masterson case, he and his accusers are all current or former members of the Church of Scientology.

Rapp, watching Spacey accept his prize, threw a pencil at the screen, he testified this week. Spacey’s lawyers have tried to convince the jury of six men and six women that Rapp fabricated his claim in large part because he was bitterly envious of their client's success. Rapp, they contend, desperately wanted Spacey’s career: the hit films, the plum roles, the two Oscars. But through the first five days of the trial in downtown Manhattan, Rapp’s alleged jealousy has been a recurring and striking theme. “I wanted my career.”Warrington Parker, a San Francisco trial attorney, and Danny Cevallos, an NBC News legal analyst, both described the jealousy argument as a high-risk bet for Spacey’s lawyers.

Syed was convicted of killing 18-year-old ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, whose body was found buried in Baltimore’s Leakin Park in 1999. Family attorney Steve Kelly said Lee's survivors do not believe Baltimore prosecutors will opt for another trial. “The family has very little hope at this point, they are not hopeful that anybody will ever face justice for Hae’s murder,” Kelly said Tuesday. Mosby's hedged comments belie court action moments earlier when her own prosecutor eviscerated the state's successful murder case against Syed. In her arguments in court Monday, prosecutor Becky Feldman attacked virtually every crucial point of the state's case against Syed.
