Violated that order seven times, seen as Marshall Cohen hello, and joins me now so marshall, what can we expect . What are we going to be learning over the course the next few days as the historic trial gets underway. Yeah, heavy dose of history in new york city. This has this is an Election Interference case going back to 2016. Their indictment frames this as a scheme to falsify Business Records that Hush Money Payment to Stormy Daniels routed through Michael Cohen reimburse through the Trump Organization according to the prosecutors, they say that trump and his company basically cooked the books to hide this payment in violation of new york state law. A lot of legal experts are saying its a terrible idea for donald trump to take the stand that he would only hurt himself in doing so. But who else could we expect to see up there . Hes been sort of playing with some fire here in the last few days saying that he wants to do it. He did testify in some of those civil trials earlier this ye
terrible idea i was speaking with norm eisen who said that his lawyer should throw themselves in front of trump to prevent that from happening this is not a trial that s going to be on camera. the most received from inside hi, the courtroom or our sketches. but the perception of him testifying in his own defense, does that have political benefits well the political benefit is obviously why he s saying that he wants to do it, is that, hey, i got nothing to hide. i did nothing wrong. i m happy to answer your question. so the political benefit of at least saying you ll do it is obvious. i m not a lawyer, don t take legal advice from me. call shan if you ve been in an accident, but i but i would just say it strikes me. is fundamentally dangerous to put them on the stand and put them under oath and after all, there is a reasonable chance he s going to avoid a conviction here. it only takes one juror, of course. and so you wouldn t want to put them in a position just for political purposes
we have talked about a lot on air over the last week. there was a demonstration toward the end with the dummy. i think the question is whether trayvon martin could have seen the gun, whether he was reaching for the gun and therefore george zimmerman had to fire. i would have liked to have seen more time spend on that. he did show the video of that. that it was holstered inside hi pants and there was a shirt and jacket covering, and he says he was down. if it sb hind him, he s down and trayvon martin is on top, how could he have seen that? i would have gone through that very slowly, demonstrated with the holster, demonstrated with the gun, but lisa, he did present that gun in the holster to the jury. yes. but put it all together. could you so el that in the dark? could you see that if it was concealed in the defendant s pants behind his hip? ivities right. but let s put it all together visually for the jury. my personal style again i
