...and the fact the jury will not be told about his habit of being a liar while under oath.
I believe the judge has said his past incidents of lying will not be permitted to be mentioned when the jury is present.
I haven’t been following the scam trial but..I wouldn’t doubt it.
Where do you get that from? It’s reversible error for the court not to allow a witness to be impeached by being cross examined regarding a felony conviction of moral turpitude. The nature of the offense and its distance in the past can attenuate that, but relatively recent conviction of perjury, of all things, relating broadly to this defendant is per se admissible. Marchand will not exclude that evidence. He can’t because there can be no doubt he’ll be reversed if he does
Secondly is the issue of bias of the witness. It isn’t necessarily as nefarious as it may sound. If, for example, your best friend happens to be standing on the sidewalk and witnesses you in a car accident, obviously as your friend he has a bias in your favor. Nevertheless, as the second to the last para of the article references, the law expects the witness to set aside his bias and tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. In Bragg’s office they had to have a stroke when they saw Cohen’s videos in which he disclosed his extremely bitter bias against Trump. Those are going to be admissible, too. Between his conviction, his videos, and his then-lawyers’ letter to, I think the FEC professing Trump’s lack of wrongdoing , he’s leaving that courtroom in a bucket by the time the lawyers are done with him
Do you have a cite on that?
It's called "redirect" and will be performed by Trump's legal team.
With cohen as the main witness, this case is obliviously going to be overturned on appeal, but the demoRATs don't care, they just want a conviction before November.
IMO-—IT WAS COHEN WHO WAS STUPPING STORMY.
