As the jury deliberates Donald Trump’s fate, legal experts and media journalists have harshly criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against the former president.
Some contended that the prosecution failed to establish reasonable doubt, while others cited the credibility problems of the prosecution’s two main witnesses, adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Trump fixer Michael Cohen.
Regarding the 34 counts of fabricating business records pertaining to payments made to Daniels before to the 2016 election, Trump entered a not guilty plea.
The prosecution is “way short.”
The prosecution is “way short” of establishing the case beyond a reasonable doubt, according to defense attorney Randy Zelin, who made this statement on the news on Tuesday.
“Let’s begin with a legitimate concern. What does reasonable doubt mean?
And it’s more than just a reasonable doubt either. When a person must make a significant life decision, they should, if they have sufficient information, schedule the procedure. For instance, if a doctor advises open heart surgery, they should do so. “I have no reason to doubt it,” Zelin continued.
On the other hand, having a legitimate doubt would be expressed if I said, “I appreciate it, but I need a second opinion, I need more information.” This case is rife with reasonable doubt, the speaker declared.
Zelin also brought out Cohen’s problems with credibility.
“He is a manipulator. I might be home if the plumber comes to fix my leak, but it doesn’t imply I understand how he’s doing it or how long it will take to fix,” Zelin stated.
