Many Americans Predict A Guilty Verdict For Trump

I think they did file a BOP.

I believe that what they have maintained is that there are some underlying “other” crimes to elevate the alleged misdemeanor to a felony. They have suggested some “possibly” applicable “other” crimes. But they say they have zero legal obligation to spell-out which “other” they rely upon.

Which is bullshit. How is this even at the trial stage without the crime being defined. What a travesty.

Don't you idiots ever watch the news?

The evidence is well known to anyone who keeps up with current events.

It is not my problem if you can't.

It’s not even well known to the prosecution you moron.

Thanks for that. That is a lot of tap-dancing to say this in response to Request-2:
"People’s Response to Request No. 2: Defendant is not entitled to the information requested in Request No. 2. Where an intent to commit or conceal another crime is an element of an offense, the People need not prove intent to commit or conceal a particular crime; thus, the indictment need not identify any particular crime that the defendant intended to commit or conceal, and defendant is not entitled to such information in a bill of particulars."

So the BOP says that the secret crime does NOT need to be specified. Total Kangaroo Court.

I agree. I do recognize that “Burglary” (as defined in the NY Penal Law) is an analog sort of. Burglary is a felony where one enters or remains illegally in a residence or a store WITH the intent to commit “a crime” therein. Under NY law, it is NOT required that the prosecutor set forth the alleged “other crime”in the BOP.

Many lawyers believe this NY policy is misguided. I know some judges who think so, too. It raises potential other legal appeallate points, in fact.

Not clear that it qualifies as a good analog for this case’s one alleged crime.

I don't think that it's even well known to Trump.

The difference between "burglary" which is a felony, and Trump's case is that the accounting "crime" is a misdemeanor and the secret crime being covered up is or makes the misdemeanor a felony?!
That makes no sense, especially if the secret crime is Federal Election Law that was passed on by the FEC and DOJ.

Trump isn't going to testify. That was just another lie. Even he knows what would happen.

Given how bad Cohen has been looking, though, Trump may not need to. Ugly stuff.

The Prosecutors Rest Their Case In Trump's Hush Money Trial.

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/05/20/trump-hush-money-criminal-trial/the-prosecution-rests-00158908

Prosecutors in Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial rested their case against the former president Monday, bringing an end to more than four weeks of testimony from witnesses they’ve called in their attempt to convince the jury that he orchestrated a scheme to cover up a payment to a porn star.

The conclusion of the case from the Manhattan district attorney’s office moves the trial one step closer to determining whether Trump will become a convicted felon as he runs for president as the presumptive Republican nominee. Though Trump is indicted in three other criminal cases, the chances that any of those will go to trial before the November election have dwindled in recent weeks.

In the Manhattan case, Trump’s team will now have a chance to call their own witnesses and introduce their own evidence. Trump is not obligated to call any witnesses, and the extent of his defense remains unclear.

Axios is reporting that Trump's defense team has indicated that he will NOT take witness. So closing could be happening as soon as tomorrow or Thursday.
