Defense attorney Randy Zelin said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that the prosecution in former President Donald Trump’s business record trial “fell way short” of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Host Kate Bolduan said, “The burden of proof is an important one to remind everyone: It’s on the prosecution, right? They need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he commit, that Donald Trump broke the law. And you think after listening to all of this, you think they fell short. How?”
Zelin said, “They fell way short, because let’s start with reasonable doubt. What is reasonable doubt? And it’s not simply a doubt based upon reason. Any time a human being needs to make an important decision in life, if you have enough information, for example, doctor says you need open heart surgery. ‘Doc, go ahead and schedule. I don’t have a reasonable doubt.’ Conversely, if I say ‘I appreciate it, but I need a second opinion, I need more information.’ that is having a reasonable doubt. There is reasonable doubt all over this case.

Have they told the jurors what the crime is?
Per the various radio stations this morning, the underlying crime is trying to influence the 2016 election by withholding negative stories about himself (Trump).
Uhm, isn’t that what EVERYONE does during an election, try to withhold or minimize negative stories about themselves or their campaign?
I don’t know what the jury instructions are yet, but right now a jury observer reads seven (7) jurors as visibly unimpressed with the prosecution’s case, according to X Twitter. Maybe accurate, or not.
The sham Trial is said to be not about a conviction but only to hobble the leading horse in this race to November.
