So is the prosecution re-directing with Cohen after the defense rests? I think they're pretty much guaranteed to. They've been conducting themselves well during the trial and it would be shooting themselves in the foot to not do so and just let the Defense's statements be the last lingering thoughts for the jury. Also the fact that the hard end date (for lawyers as they're making closing statements on that day) is next Tuesday to me indicates there's going to be a day or 2 of prosecution redirect. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/11796f7a.jpg Alright, I may have been wrong about them not calling any witnesses. No idea what they think it could accomplish, I imagine it wouldn't amount to anything beyond "Yeah I knew Cohen, that fucking shitbag". All they have is character assassination of the prosecution's witnesses. There is no defending Trump's behavior or discounting the physical evidence. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...

Man wtf the prosecution is really going to let the defense's representations of Cohen be the last lingering thoughts for the jury on Cohen? Wasn't expecting that.There was a very long sidebar that stretched all of lunch and even kept the jury out for an extra half-hour where the DA was looking to bring in CSPAN footage that showed Trump was with his bodyguard (Schiller) at the time Cohen called him. You'll recall this is the phone call the defense attacked Cohen on and claimed instead of talking to Trump about Stormy he was really talking to Schiller about a prank caller. This CSPAN footage showed Trump was with Schiller five minutes before the call was made leaving pretty much no doubt Trump was there to take the call. Obviously it doesn't show anything about what they talked about but it removes an avenue of doubt from "Was Trump even there to take the call?" After strenuously fighting against it being let in, the defense caved when it became clear that if they didn't agree to it here and now it would still come in - just they'd have to get the C-SPAN witness back in court and the DA had already had arranged a flight for him to be back in NY and ready to go 9:30 AM tomorrow.So the DA was able to present it to the jury and did first thing after they were brought back in after lunch. So I think they did push back on some of the portrayal of Cohen. --- May you find your book in this place. Formerly known as xp1337. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Would Trump be in court if he had reimbursed Pecker for the $150k he paid to kill the McDougal story out of his own pocket?
He stiffed Pecker for that, which led to Pecker not picking up the tab for the Stormy story, which led to the reason why he's in court now.

Yeah, that's what I thought. The prosecution's case is that a misdemeanor committed to hide another misdemeanor elevates them to a felony. If only he wasn't so cheap to pay it out of his pocket.
