The judge will give jury instructions on the law to the jury before they begin deliberating. The lawyers will each provide proposed jury instructions and the judge will choose which versions to give.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

Finally, most observers (including V) suspected that, despite Donald Trump repeatedly saying that he planned to testify, he wouldn't actually do so. Here's his bogus reason : https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1786132874380333155 Notice how Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, seems in that video to confirm ...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

There are two factors that Kanefield (and others) are not sufficiently taking into account when they criticize the prosecution. First, as noted, the elements of the falsifying business records felony include "with intent to defraud that includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or co...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

I saw that piece by Kanefield. She (and a lot of other pundits) are missing a subtlety in New York law. I'll explain what I mean by that when I have more time.
