Corrupt and biased Judge Juan Merchan has so far refused to release the jury instructions to the public after Bragg’s prosecutors and Trump’s attorneys sparred over the order during a conference earlier this week.
Jury instructions can make or break a case for either side.
No doubt Judge Merchan’s jury instructions “will be horrendously poisonous” Mark Levin said earlier this week.
Judge Merchan however sided with Bragg’s prosecutors and ruled the jury does NOT need to unanimously agree on the “predicate” crime Trump committed.
“In other words: If some jurors believe that Trump falsified business documents solely to cover up a tax crime, while others believe that he falsified business documents solely to cover up an election crime, the jury can still convict Trump on the felony-level falsifying-documents charges, despite disagreeing on the predicate crimes.” Politico’s Josh Gerstein wrote.
Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

There are no words......
It seems that this is worthy of “Breaking News”. IMHO
Pure BS sitting in a robe so he will follow his masters orders to get a conviction
There has to be two reasons to falsify the records.
There is no starting charge of second degree falsification of the records unless it was for fraudulent. But if there was no ulterior motive it was not fraudulent. The felony extension would then have to include an additional reason they were falsified which was criminal.
So two reasons total and one of them must be a crime—or not first degree charge. And the second degree charge has expired so no second degree charge.
The instructions are false on the face of them.
He knows how much he will get paid for the conviction and he is not about to miss out on that pile of cash.
Wow, we get to see what lawfare is like in Cuba without all the Cubans.

Trump "falsified records"
Which to date is unproven.
Like a good RAT, he makes the rules as he goes along.
Newt Gingrich was on Hannity a few weeks ago, saying that in a perfect world, the Supreme Court would jump in and nullify this entire case because of how egregious the judge and prosecution has been throughout. I wonder if something like that is possible?
One would think there might be a court somewhere below the level of he SCOTUS that cared about how ridiculous Merchan and Bragg are making the entire justice system look.
I’ve always been a fan of Jury Nullification....
But with corrupt leftist black-robed Judiciarchs like Merchan, it is a long road to hoe for anyone to get justice.
This judge is going to make sure trump is convicted of something so the Biden team can go after trump for it and of course cancel the debate with Biden saying he won’t debate a convicted felon
Cartel stooge Juan “Wetback Cur” Merchan is delivering for his south-of-the-border puppeteers.
aka "Wetback Cur"
Just makin it up as they go
Should never have been allowed to proceed
So NY is a banana republic and since it’s a state in the USA, that makes the USA a banana republic.
Corrupt judges like this should look into what happens to corrupt judges in banana republics.
Prosecutorial judge Merchan is going for all the marbles on this one - a felony conviction because it is the predicate crime that lifts what would otherwise be a misdemeanor conviction to a felony conviction. He knows he will be reversed on appeal on this but so will he be reversed on the ton of reversible error he already made to get the biased jury to where they want to be, i.e., to convict Trump of a felony before the election. He wants to turn this over to the DNC cooperative media to ply the convicted felon narrative until election day.
Why do you think Merchan would not let the former FEC chairman testify that this was not an illegal contribution. Precisely because it would upset his plan to give the biased jury a lesser standard of proof for them to establish it was an illegal contribution. The guy is a complete dirtbag
