Witness credibility questioned in Donald Trump's hush money case as jury deliberates without needing his testimony.

Former US President Donald Trump just sat back and listened to the New York hush money case judge as he began instructing the jury on what could potentially be detrimental to his defence.

Judge Juan Merchan, directing the jury, said that while the prosecution is required to prove the case against Trump, it cannot be legally argued that Trump must testify for the jury to determine whether he is guilty or not beyond a “reasonable doubt.”

Merchan clarified that the jury does not need to agree on what specific crime Trump allegedly attempted to conceal by falsifying documents.

While listening to instructions from within the courtroom, Ukraine-born George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley remarked, “Merchan just delivered the coup de grace instruction.”

Merchan said that the jurors “can disagree on what the crime was among the three choices” suggested by the prosecutors, Turley stated these as violation of tax laws, other business records and the Federal Election Campaign Act. “Thus, this means that they could split 4-4-4 and he will still treat them as unanimous,” he further said.

Michael Cohen's testimony needs confirmation, judge tells jury.

Marchan noted that the jury would need to reach a unanimous decision on each charge of falsifying business records, but legal scholars in the room agreed that there didn't seem to be much room for a split verdict or for Trump to be found guilty or convicted. Not guilty.

"It's either 34 guilty verdicts, 34 not guilty verdicts, or the jury doesn't agree," former federal prosecutor Trey Gowdy said.

"I can't imagine a verdict that would convict on some counts and acquit on others." Marchan defined the concept of reasonable doubt for the jury to use in the trial, explaining: "It is knowable without a degree of uncertainty," but "not sufficient to conclude that the defendant is probably guilty."

The judge also addressed witnesses called by the prosecution in the case, including Michael Cohen, the former president and attorney accused of falsifying business records and misappropriating $130,000 meant for payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24. ' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di...

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. But so far there is little agreement between the two sides on the most important differences. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern about Israel's increasing isolation from the conflict in Gaza. Most of Gaza'...

  Hamas is a paramilitary group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel. The group has been responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, including children and women. #BarbericHamas #BrutalityagainstIsraeliwWomenChildren #IndiawithIsrael #TerroristHamas  In one particularly barbaric act, Hamas militants attacked a school bus in southern Israel in 2004, killing five Israeli children and wounding several others. In another attack, Hamas militants fired rockets into a residential area in Ashkelon, killing a three-year-old Israeli girl. Hamas has also been responsible for the deaths of numerous Israeli soldiers. In 2014, Hamas militants killed two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border tunnel. In another attack, Hamas militants killed three Israeli soldiers in an ambush. Hamas's attacks on Israeli civilians are a clear violation of international law. The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the targeting of civi...
