I love the “If such is still necessary”.
He knows the verdict now has to be a mistrial. The evidence of his statements about Cohen while President are inadmissible.
BOOM!
“He knows the verdict now has to be a mistrial.”
Under NY law, a mistrial can only occur during the trial — not after the trial is over. The correct terminology is “a motion to set aside verdict.”
The grounds for setting aside the verdict are limited tio the following:
1. Any ground appearing in the record which, if raised upon an appeal
from a prospective judgment of conviction, would require a reversal or
modification of the judgment as a matter of law by an appellate court.
2. That during the trial there occurred, out of the presence of the
court, improper conduct by a juror, or improper conduct by another
person in relation to a juror, which may have affected a substantial
right of the defendant and which was not known to the defendant prior to
the rendition of the verdict; or
3. That new evidence has been discovered since the trial which could
not have been produced by the defendant at the trial even with due
diligence on his part and which is of such character as to create a
probability that had such evidence been received at the trial the
verdict would have been more favorable to the defendant.
