After a lengthy day of arguments in the Manhattan courthouse, a jury of 12 ordinary individuals is now tasked with determining whether Donald Trump is guilty of criminal charges that could have significant implications for the presidential race.
The defense presented their case for nearly three hours, with Trump's attorney vigorously challenging the credibility of star witness Michael Cohen. Describing Cohen as the 'greatest liar of all time,' the defense sought to sow doubt in the minds of the jurors.
On the other hand, the prosecution spent close to five hours making their case, emphasizing that Trump had chosen Cohen as his fixer due to his willingness to deceive and manipulate on Trump's behalf. The prosecution asserted that the evidence against Trump was 'overwhelming.'
However, it was the scenes outside the courthouse that captured attention and highlighted the intense atmosphere surrounding the trial. Reports of heated exchanges and tense confrontations underscored the significance of the verdict in the current political climate.
The outcome of this trial could potentially have far-reaching consequences, impacting the trajectory of the presidential race and shaping public perception of Trump's conduct. As the jury deliberates, all eyes are on Manhattan, awaiting the decision that could reverberate across the nation.
