The prosecution did present evidence of another crime, as solid as they could, plus Weisselberg notes on how to falsify the hush money repayment to Cohen.I believe that he would have testified if the prosecution had proved their case. Even if it seem like a Hail Mary, if the prosecution case was as strong as Democrats on here, claimed that it was, what would he have to lose?
Now, seeing that the prosecution has basically presented no evidence of any particular crime Trump testifying we just give them an opportunity to drag out all the things that were irrelevant to the trial such as stormy Daniels.
Trump was likely getting Alvin Bragg’s hopes up to crush them. Kind of cruel, but it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
What you mean, I think.... is evidence that Trump was aware that the business records were falsified, that he signed 9 separate checks for....
I think enough was shown to be self evident, that Trump knew the business records were falsified....
We'll see what the jury thinks.... It's hard to guess how verdicts by juries turn out, imo.
