he has no alibi because they can t give you a date for when this allegedly occurred. i should tell you everybody is standing up for the jury right now. now the jury is entering. sorry, getting all these updates from adam reece who s inside the room. once we get a verdict, i ll tell you. but donald trump not testifying, lisa, good thing or bad thing for the defense? i think it was a bad thing for the defense. they said multiple times this is not a criminal trial therefore the burden of proof in a criminal case beyond a reasonable doubt isn t applicable. that had real reverberations for trump on the flip side, too. that meant because it wasn t a criminal trial, the plaintiff s lawyers could make a big deal out of the fact donald trump didn t show up. not only did kaplin tell the jury he didn t show up because he knew he did it, but the colleague said you ve heard a lot about respect for the rule of law in your rule as jury ors
