Horrific week for the prosecution. Hung jury now looks like the likeliest outcome.

Apparently done for the day. Costello stopped by prosecutor and judge, back tomorrow. Wrapping up the day, it is reported that the defense has asked the judge to dismiss the charges. Fat chance that'll happen, the judge is stuck with this mess he's created.

Trump should be lively in a few minutes when he walks out shortly.

Trump to the cameras: “You saw what we saw... a tyrant!”

"The judge is a tyrant. ...hopefully motion to dismiss will go through. ... Where is the crime?

...Bragg has no authority to enforce election law.

Judge Juan Merchan was born in Bogotá, Colombia.

Political views
During the 2020 United States presidential election, Merchan donated $15 to Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden’s campaign, $10 to the Progressive Turnout Project, and $10 to Stop Republicans, a subsidiary of the previous.

You can take the boy out of Columbia but you can’t take Columbia out of the boy.

Do jurors typically discuss a case among themselves during a trial or do they only start once they begin deliberation?

Pretty much a wow. Hard to believe the judge would badger the witness. Although, since it’s Merchan, it’s not THAT hard to believe.

Has anyone seen “The Verdict”, starring Paul Newman? Trump’s best hope now is that the jurors will react in a similar way to a similar situation, as the jurors did in that movie.

This is why we should never have any foreign born person in an office such as judgeship or any elected office. They lack an understanding and appreciation of American culture, history, etc.

Right. Not permitting the FEC expert witness that said no election law committed. Trumps attorney said this is prime for appeal to not allow a expert witness on what campaign finance is and isn’t.

But he is now allowing Trumps body man video that shows him with Trump at 7:57pm supposedly that is the conversation Cohen is claiming this guy told Trump about Stormy payment. How do they know what was discussed. Just hearsay, Merchan first said no, now saying yes. Unreal.

Right. Costello testified to Congress that Cohen told him Trump didn’t know what was going on and no crime.

So Judge refuses to allow this witness.
