"The prosecution's case rests on one thing: trying to convince you, the jurors, that Mr. Weisselberg's actions were done in behalf of the company," Necheles said. "They were not. They were done solely to benefit himself. And that is the critical issue in this case."
The defense prepared a scorecard for the jury that listed elements of the scheme and boxes to check "yes" or "no" regarding whether there was an intent to benefit the Trump Organization. Necheles paired it with transcripts of select testimony in which witnesses said the sole beneficiary was Weisselberg.
The outcome of the case could turn on the vagaries and nuances of a part of New York criminal law that even the presiding judge has called "confusing." Judge Juan Merchan said Wednesday he would allow defense attorneys to argue in their closing statements that prosecutors failed to show Weisselberg acted "in behalf of" the company.
Trump is the man
State must prove their case and it doesn’t sound as if they can
To the people saying this headline is misleading… look at the comma after the word fraud.. you’re welcome.
Laughable how someone who proclaims to be so smart and such a successful businessman has an endless stream of defense lawyers saying he doesn’t know anything about his business.
Let it go, let it go......
The truth
'Prosecutors have failed to prove the Trump Organization is guilty of tax fraud...' Why is this NOT a surprise. The dude is STILL teflon.
Let's see the Biden crime familys' taxes. Oh, that's right, failure to report income is okay for them
Oh is that the way to start, of course they will say that, we haven’t heard what the prosecutors say yet. You have to be careful, half the people will take a half truth and be happy to run with it. Some of us like to hear both sides, to hear the whole part.
Witch hunt version 7
Witch hunt denied, yet again.
oops
Shocking. 🙄
BREAKING-defense says client not guilty. Do better, ABC.
Leave the man alone!
What does the IRS say?
I think we should be investigating the Biden crime family just as hard as they went after Trump in search of a crime.
Again, the ongoing witch hunt comes up empty.
GMA
What a shit headline. Of course the defense says they’re not guilty.
Odd choice by for their headline here, unless they have a preference in the outcome.
What a shitty headline. Ofcourse defense lawyer would say that.
Sloppy journalism !!
Yes, and Kari Lake won Arizona...she said
Defense attorney says prosecutors didn't prove their case. In other news, dairy farmers tell consumers milk is good for you.
So bad.
