Trump Hush Money Trial

about the burden of proof and the judge's emphasizing that the burden of proof is always at the prosecutor. it never shifts to the defendant. and if the burden of proof is not met, the judge reminds the jurors that they must find the defendant not guilty arthur, i know you said that if you were on the trump defense, you wouldn't be looking for an outright acquittal. >> you'd be aiming for a hung jury. how would you go about creating that shadow of a doubt in the mind of at least one juror you know, again, you've got to really look at the law and what the judge is going to say in the closing instructions to the jury, you know, he just gave the opening instructors and the jury, but we have a good idea as lawyers, what the judge is going to say at the end so you look at what he's going to say at the end and you bring it to the beginning because it gives you so much credibility at the end of the case. >> when the jury's here again, what you said at the beginning of the case, out of the mouth of the judge, which they usually hold in very high

prosecutors if he actually took the stand? yeah. look, i think we can all focus on cross-examination what they live and what they don't let in. but i think from prosecutors can put take that all the way. i don't even really care what they let me cross-examined about because it's given his history and what he's done before. i don't know that he can stand up and even on direct appear to be credible in the face of all the other evidence. >> and yet, i've been saying this all week. i'm a contrarian on this issue to a degree. the guy got 77 million votes. he doesn't have to convince that many people, the jury box i go you it's three because it's legally it's one. right. is a hung jury. but three, you could like you can't get bullied by the other ones and you stay strong. and yet, we know we have that one juror on that, who she already says, i don't like trump. i don't like the way he treats people. i think he's selfish. so i'm not even looking for an acquittal. i'm looking for, you has the most star power of anybody in that courtroom by four and some of these jurors, if they have mixed feelings or if they like them, they might be totally star struck by him and might be anticipating him

what do we have? maybe it's come from usc. i don't know if trump wins this case. there is no way he loses the election. well, he is not going to win the case right? it's not as if there's going to in my opinion, there's not going to be an outright acquittal. i see zero prospect that 12 jurors come back and they say not guilty, but there is the prospect of a hung jury, so it's all going to be predicated by how long they are out. i think that's gonna be the real big tell in this case. c90. have it all covered. i'm sure come monday. thanks for watching. see you next week how would really happen sunday, april 20 get nine on cnn would you have chronic kidney disease there are places you'd like to be like here here not so much here far seeker reduces the

>> to both of your points, and i made this point when we were driving in this hour. you sort of laid out the tiktok of what happened in that jury selection process. and then of course, the hours after that you have josie waters on fox news as the daily beast reports sowing doubt in his segment regarding the jurors with a quote "i think at this point, we can say that it won't be an acquittal. what the hell do you have to base that on mr. waters? this is the problem. you are absolutely right that monday morning, you could have jurors come in who are like, i just don't want to be part of this. but that is the point, folks. that is what the josie waters

when you look at how can anyone look at that environment and think that's a fair venue for donald trump? >> well i think that's a course a problem i think that many people in the public see this case for what it is which is a political use of the legal system bragg is counting on many of these jurors if not all of them ending their analysis once they see who's behind the defence table that he is counting on the fact that there will be no presumption of innocence here because this is a juror pool that voted almost unanimously against trump when you are down to just 12 percent you are getting to a statistically difficult point to come up with a fair jury does that mean they can't be fair? no but no one is betting on acquittal in new york the question is whether you will have a couple of jurors that have that confidence to stand their ground that's if i was defence counsel it so i would be

and they believe that at the end of the day, despite people say thing that they can be impartial, that there is going to be some sort of political bias. they know that the defendant is incredibly polarizing as well as the fact that he's a former president and incredibly well-known but what they're looking for is can they find one sympathetic jury? >> juror? can they get a hung jury that is the ultimate goal here, because as you've said, had an acquittal exactly. >> and i don't know well, that they necessarily think they're going to get an acquittal. so sure. that is the ultimate goal, but the realistic goal for them might more be leaning towards getting a hung jury. >> now remember for the prosecutor bhushan and the defense team, it has been show time since the very first juror in the pool walked in that courtroom, they're going to have to now tailor their oral arguments that might happen as early as monday and day to those 18 jurors. now, we know the court of public opinion looms large and we have a lot of conversations. but for them, they're going to present their case to these jurors. so every detail they learn luck in the way might be useful exactly. >> that's exactly right. i just remember that the trump team also has a jury consultant

that is looking at each of these people going back and for dealing with the lawyers on who they are choosing. part of that is for the exact reason that you are talking about because when they are making their arguments, they're not necessarily going to be speaking to all 12 jurors and the bugs are all 18. they might just be tailoring their message, just choose specific jurors. >> because again if they cannot get an acquittal part of the ultimate goal is to get a hung jury right. >> or to focus on one witness they wanted his credit entirely. kristen holmes, you've been so invaluable throughout this process. i want to turn it right back to you all laura, thank you. thanks, kristen, as well. and to our viewers, thanks very much for joining me here in the cnn newsroom. i'll be back later today, 5:00 p.m. eastern for a special two hours situation room back here monday morning, 11:00 a.m. eastern in the cnn newsroom. stay with cnn, right now inside politics with dana bash starts right after a short break.

there was an acquittal however in that case. i want to take a note quickly, the trunk trial and democracy, voters are smelling the product that politics they know as an ap who was the best to protect democracy. that is uphold often and andy wrote that trump is a big part of the explanation why president biden and the democrats have lost the edge and what they hope was to be their ace in the hole in this campaign. seeking to take trump off the valid. and it is seen by many voters as a threat to democracy. they go on and on and now this this is bad for democrats. as it should be. >> dr. marc: i have a few points here, first of all i have never gotten to save on a jury because i always say that i

intent is for the opening arguments to begin on monday, but you saw today though? >> he gave the both sides the chance to strike jurors to get people off the panel that they didn't want but it was a pretty impressive process that we saw unfold there jurors who basically, some of them who had views about the former president but also said that they could put the, put those things aside two the judge, this the evidence impartially, and that's the goal of any jury pool, right? the idea of defining a jury based on what the ultimate outcome is acquittal or conviction is not really the process for the american justice system is the jury of your peers and partiality as the goal and unlike the way in which the former president has approached this case, initially, he has been very clear. he thought, you could not get an impartial jury in manhattan that the political leanings that are assumed in manhattan being an overwhelmingly blue in their votes, that that would be the
