>Pecker's testimony regarding the Trump Tower meeting
>Michael Cohen's testimony regarding the Trump Tower meeting.
We could get a verdict today.
It's 34 counts they have to consider, but it's like 12 of the same thing, 11 of another thing and 11 of a third thing....so it seems, to me if you decide one, you decide the rest as well.
We all know the judge is corrupt and the jury is stacked against him, but how glorious would it be if the jury came back 15 minutes later reading NOT GUILTY?!?!
Thet would be the fairy tale ending. I suppose it depends on whether it pushes the plan forward to do so or not.
They have to go through each individual count and vote. I believe there are 35 charges. They will argue about each one. I'm betting there are more than a couple of Trump supporters in there that will hang tough, and I guarantee there are more than a couple of Trump haters in there who are stubborn as hell. This is going to take days and will likely end up a hung jury.
There's 34 charges of false business records. They are
Trump paid Michael Cohen $420,000 over 11 payments.
Nobody is arguing the records don't exist or that the payments did not happen.. The argument is are they false records. Were they reimbursing Michael Cohen for money he paid out or were they paying him for legal services. Trump says it was legal services.
The details of January check are not much different from the September check.
So I don't think it's 34 separate questions to answer. It's one question.
Are these legitimate legal services or are they a reimbursement?.
Perhaps you then apply that question to the checks and then to the invoices and then to The ledger entries. But it's not really 34 discussions
It is one question. But the jury has to answer each individual charge and take a vote for each individual charge. I've sat more than one criminal jury. It's a pain in the ass. You aren't allowed to take one vote for all the charges.
10 days?
I don't know what the law is in New York. Is there a time limit? I'm guessing at least 2 to 3 days. Maybe longer. 10 seems a bit much. Is there a delta or something 10 days from now?
Nah. I was just playing with the "10 days. Darnkess". I doubt it goes to the weekend.
