Looking for, is set to appear before the special counsels grand jury. the former upscale prosta tugs ring manager. even that is sort of ironic. has close ties to political operative roger stone. the testimony underscores how wide spread the mueller investigation has become. in a statement to nbc this morning, stone defended davis, writing, kristin davis has been a friend and has worked on and off for me. she is a brilliant business woman who paid her debt to society and has remade her life. at t...

Instruction that they are back in the room and listening to evidence or it looks like the parties agreed the case was ready to move forward. >> frank, i know we were pinging you all day with questions about your theories of what this pause could have been about. can you share them with our viewers? >> well, my first thought was indeed what appears on its face, that some juror may have been reported as saying or doing something inappropriate, but as joyce said, this happens all the time. it can b...

Because hes been pushing this trial to go forward and the government would rest today. so it doesnt make sense to me that he wouldnt have scheduled that before the regular court date for this trial. there is also a report that he asked for the roll of the jurors. that makes it sound like there is a question about one of the jurors and maybe that juror or jurors is being questioned about what other contacts they may have had or what information they may have gotten that is prescribed against bein...

It -- an inference of impropriety by the government might have been suggested to the jury. so they filed a motion overnight, asking the judge to correct the record. and give the jury an instruction, saying, the judge was in error when he scolded the prosecution for allowing an expert witness to sit in and listen to previous testimony, and this morning, the judge apparently agreed, he did that. and this is the quote. this is what he told the jury at the start this morning. he said, put aside any ...

Lawyers in open court, in front of the jury, when he learned that their expert witness had been in the courtroom throughout the duration of the trial. now, the prosecutors had asked permission for that, its actually fairly common to have an expert witness in the courtroom, because theyre not testifying about fact or giving an opinion, and they need to know what has been said so they can give an opinion about it. the judge said its not his policy and he scolded them in open court yesterday in fro...

Instruction may have been a mistake and that they should disregard that. has he hurt them in the case? you know, he interjects his opinion from time to time in some ways in a very inappropriate way that could have a harmful effect. >> we shall find out how he behaves next week when the defense puts on some witnesses and if he acts the same, maybe everybody quiets down, right? >> absolutely. i am told that this is the way he rolls. >> yeah, thats what you hear. barbara mcquade, im glad youre not ...

Part of me thinks he made the apology thinking his star turn isnt playing so well. obviously it had to do with an official complaint by the prosecution. one, was he truly apologetic? and two, has the judge hurt the prosecutions case with the jury? >> so the request of the government overnight was a curative instruction, because the judge had admonished them in open court, really scolded them for allowing their expert witness to sit through the trial, which he hadnt known until he was called to t...

Usually the government is permitted to have a representative, either an agent or in this case the government asked if their irs expert could remain in the courtroom and the judge said sure, thats fine. he apparently had a memory lapse or something that caused him to think that the government was trying to pull a fast one on him and he admonished them in front of the jury. and heres why thats problematic. juries bond with judges. they begin to think like judges. so to hear the judge calling the g...

More plausible. what can you do about it? im not sure you can do much of anything. if the government is to lose this case, they have no right to appeal because of the double jeopardy clause and the 5th amendment. theyre sort of left to do their best to try to rebut those arguments through witnesses. i suppose in theory they could ask for a jury instruction and a routine instruction says what the judge says is not the law on these sort of comments and remarks. but you do have to worry about the i...

Take some time. there were no instructions and there were no rules to follow. what i personally wrote the first official instruction on how to dispose of a submarines nuclear reactor. is explore parts there but were going to look. nikita is case was a landmark. he was charged again in one thousand nine hundred nine and then fully acquitted at trial. he thus became the first person in soviet or post soviet history to be found innocent of treason charge. he continued to work with the norwegian env...
