He would also have to prove that his 34 records in question were falsified.

The burden is now lighter on Mr. Trump's lawyers, who must either instill enough doubt in the jurors' minds to secure a acquittal or convince at least one of the 12 objectors to sway the jury. All they have to do is restrain them and cause a miscarriage of justice.

What Happens After Closing Arguments?

Judge Juan Melchan, who is overseeing the case, will give jurors detailed instructions on how to interpret the law and evidence during deliberations.

Jurors are told they can only convict Trump if they are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that he is guilty.

During deliberations, jurors have access to all evidence and can ask questions of the judge, who consults with prosecutors and defense attorneys before deciding on answers.

What happens if the jury reaches a verdict?

The verdict must be unanimous, and if the jury fails to proceed, Merchan will declare the trial null and void. Once the jury notifies the court that it has reached a verdict, Marchan invites the parties into the courtroom and has the foreman read the verdict. Mr Machan still needs to review the verdict and make a final decision. Either side can ask him to effectively overrule the jury.

What if Trump is convicted?

If Trump is convicted, it will probably take weeks or months for a conviction to be handed down. As a first-time non-violent offender, he is likely to be released on bail for the time being.

In New York, people who have no criminal record and are only convicted of falsifying business records are rarely sentenced to prison. Penalties such as fines and suspended sentences are more common.

The maximum penalty for Trump's charge of falsifying business records is 18 months to four years in prison, but in cases that involve prison terms, defendants typically receive sentences of one year or less.
