How odd.


Not really. The prosecutor did not prove anything other than Manafort is rich and spends money.

The Attorney has more leeway in a closing argument then when presenting evidence. I suspect he will ask the judge to just tossed the case since no real proof was presented.

But then I am not a lawyer and everything I know has been learned by watching Perry Mason /s

I’ve watched My Cousin Vinny about a hundred times. Plus I have slept in a Holiday Inn Express. I plan on taking the BAR exam soon.

"Not really. The prosecutor did not prove anything other than Manafort is rich and spends money."

And their main, less-than-credible witness claimed he's lied under oath before, and stole from his boss.

The defense did ask for an acquittal but the judge declined. It’s going to the jury but the judge will give jury instructions.
