ST COURT,
May 20 – In the Trump Trial
what was supposed to be the
last morning of the
prosecution case ended with a
fight whether C-SPAN footage
of Trump with his bodyguard
Keith Schiller on the evening
of October 24, 2016 was
relevant and if so, it is is
hearsay.
Justice
Merchan rules that it's
relevant, and said he would
return from the hastily called
lunch break with his views on
hearsay and its exception.
Would the prosecution have to
arrange to fly back in their
C-SPAN witness from
Ohio?
Already,
closing argument were pushed a
full week back, from May 21 to
May 28, after Memorial Day.
Would Justice Merchan maintain
his Wednesday breaks,
inserting an off day between
summations and
deliberations?
Near the
end of cross examination of
Cohen, Trump's lawyer Todd
Blanche got Cohen to admit
stealing $30,000 due to Red
Finch (for buying IP addresses
to juice Trump up to ninth
place in a CNBC poll).
But then,
in the style of Earl Stanley
Gardner's Perry Mason, the
photo Googled from CSPAN's
website.
