This guy is a stress test to all modern institutions, i.e. law, government, finance, religion, science, math, even the English language.
And over half of murica electoral population.
🎯👍👏
Not to mention your blood pressure and mental health. He also really affects peoples ears/hearing. I hate that he is on so many peoples minds. I just hope people understand when they vote in November, what can happen if they vote for him again.
Personal sanity. Having his in the new every day for years is mental cancer for people.
@@tansywelsh1636 It's an unpleasant daily occurrence. I simply cannot listen to him speak it's so repulsive and have to fast forward past that an images of his face.

Right an he shouldn’t be where is today he is disqualified to even run the Republican Party let him get to this point they are not the party of good people we have seen in Yvette last. What happen to them Donald Trump

Yes, the Democrats and this fake news are destroying and dividing our country.
Such sad times in the US!😢😢😢😢

Well judge Merchan has shown himself to be of the highest caliber of judge in terms of his integrity, intelligence and his oversight of this case thus far. I have every confidence that he will conduct matters as appropriately as they can be conducted.

That's not what I saw.
His daughter making bank on this case shows conflict of interest.
Is that why he didn't jail him for putting peoples lives at risk 10 GAG ORDERS VIOLATED and no jail : Merchan is a SPINLESS COWARD and Guess What : If trump is convicted merchan will NOT sentence him to jail. That is NOT JUSTICE
WRONG : Merchan puts his personal safety ABOVE ALL ELSE He is TERRIFIED of the MAGA MOB
@@richavic4520nope. Before the case started Merchan went to the judicial ethics committee and asked if his daughter's work was a conflict of interest. They said no. That Merchan isn't responsible for how his *ADULT* daughter makes a living. And their opinion is the is know one that matters. And since they cleared Merchan before the trial started, its not grounds for an appeal

Thanks, Jen and Judge Cordell!
I think it was Glenn Kirschner that went over this, the jury instructions are recorded into the record. If the jury has questions about the jury instructions, the court clerk can read them back if they ask for them during deliberations.
This retired judge from California seems to have been brought on for this segment to scaremonger and create drama for the viewers prior to closing statements. Her opinion seems to be that jurors are idiots who can't remember the instructions unless they are given a piece of paper with everything written down for them. She even dismissed the two attorneys on the jury as not being able to keep the instructions in their minds because they only handle civil cases?!? Glenn Kirschner, Andrew Weissmann and Neal Katyal are much less prone to catastrophizing the legal process. Did she really advocate for NY state legislators to change the law so that the jurors could be given hard copies of their instructions to take into the deliberation room? As you rightly point out, any juror can ask for the record to be read back if they forget the instructions. I think this interview was needless pot stirring.
Thanks Judge Cordell great analysis
Excellent presentation by Judge Cordell.
Her name is LaDoris Hazzard Cordell
We were classmates in HS.
THIS JUSGE IS EVIL AND IS BEING PAID. END OF JUSTICE SYSTEM
The problem is ~ given what she has said about New York Jury Instructions that means that she is casting doubt on every jury trial ever held in New York, seems a bit of a stretch, or rather how come nobody has noticed before?
Evil at work. Just

Donald Trump GUILTY 2024.

He's been guilty for decades. It's about time the courts caught up.

Wow. Thank you for this judge!
END OF JUSTICE SYSTEM, EVIL JUDGE, EVIL JURY SYSTEM
What a brilliant judge the guest lady is.
If true -- and no critical information is missing from this piece -- then it is absolutely insane that the jurors do not have a written copy of the instructions. My faith in the judicial system would be diminished.
Same here (from abroad). This segment wasn’t reassuring in the least.
It’s laying the groundwork for mistrial.
What a rotten judicial system where the only thing that actually rules is money.
Juries normally don't get instructions until after closing arguments. As even the closers can reveal or shed light on information that could change what the judge expects them to include in the focus.
yeah for the love of God give they jury written instructions so they can rule according to the evidence. why don't juries regularly get copies of jury instructions especially if appeals are successful because of something with jury instructions?
The instructions to the jury will be recorded into the record. If at any time in their deliberation anyone on the jury has questions about their instructions, the clerk can and will read them back if they ask for them. If that does not resolve the issue, a written note can be passed to the judge who will then call them back into the courtroom to restate the instructions. That's generally how it works...this was a waste of a video making a mountain out of a molehill that does not exist.
People are saying that Von Schizinpants is having a difficult time putting his pants on over the extra large diapers.

Listening to this broadcast sends chills down my spine. Donald Trump could get away on technicalities... horrifying
It's all up to the jury.
@@goolsen5630 Nope it's up to the Judge. He will instruct the Jury on how to deliver a guilty verdict. Even this Judge can't tell you what crime Trump committed, saying the prosecution don't have to prove a crime occurred they just have to infer that Trump could have caused a crime to occur so pick one, any one even if it's not actually a crime like entering into an NDA. How about Cohen stealing 30k. Can you imagine a Juror saying Trump is guilty because he caused Cohen to commit a crime. Just like the fraud case that had no fraud victims, this is a criminal case that has no crime.
@@goolsen5630 If you listened to the video, you'd know it's even more up to the judge.

That judge seems to be very knowledgable and able to explain complex topics in a way even a knuckledragger like me can understand. I hope she's teaching.
It's crazy that in NY jury instructions aren't given in written form for them to reference during deliberations.
I *really* hope the judge spends some time explaining to the jurors the distinction between *"Reasonable Doubt"* and *"Shadow of a Doubt"* In today's world of lies and *conspiracy theories* I worry about the average American being able to commit to *anything 100%* Seriously 😟
That is the entire plan of the defense, trying to portray alternate facts and conspiracy theories as "reasonable doubt"
@@markfeland2285 Truly, it's often all a defense has - and, sadly, it works more often than not. I'm nervous about getting a hung jury
I would have never thought the jury instructions werent in the deliberating room with the jury in any State. What kinda jive NY got going on?
Corruption!
They do have access to the instructions via the court clerk, who can read them at any point. They just don't have them written down. This is the procedure in every NY state case of this kind.
Trump for 20th floor window 2024!! 💙
Listening to these retired judges talk about a process in such elementary terms makes me feel like we're living in a totally different time, where rules and basics no longer apply. and respect for the rule of law is waning. She would be threatened and have to move from her house!
"Cause" isn't that hard.
If someone (let's call them DJT) approved payment of an invoice he *knew* to be fraudulent, and that payment was entered into the organisation's bookkeeping system, DJT *caused* that person, the bookkeeper, to enter fraudulent information, even if unknowingly.
If a trainer rigged a person's boxing gloves without the boxer knowing, and that boxer then goes on to gain a benefit from that rigging, the trainer *caused* his boxer to cheat, even if unknowingly.
Well described. Thank you.
Yes, and perhaps more important is that "Caused" is much broader than, say "directed", or even "instructed". He didn't have to order someone to commit the offence if it can be shown that he gave his staff to understand that he wanted this mess to go away. The details of how they then did that would be the acts that were "caused" by Trump's wishes.
@@TheOlandex Remember Trump said, "just do it" to Michael Cohn r/t payment to Stormy Daniels, if I remember correctly.
In this case, cause needs to be inferred other than Cohen's testimony. Simple facts are that Trump stated they were reimbursed. This means that he knew about the reimbursement scheme. If there were a legal method of reimbursement, Trump owns the records of the reimbursement, and as such, simply showing them would tank the prosecution. He has not. Therefore, those records do not exist. The retainer is the fraudulent reimbursement method per the plan.
Secondly, suppose that Trump didn't cause it to happen. This means sometime in the future, Trump found out that a reimbursement was claimed to be income, and therefore, his company paid $180,000 that it didn't need to the federal government. He was upset by $600 expenses and this loss was 300 times that problem. That is a major cash crunch for a real estate business. That will definitely be employee action. Trump owns the records, and therefore, he should easily be able to produce those records. He did not. He could also amend the reimbursement scheme. He did not, or else the first proof would be satisfied. Therefore, it can also be inferred that he caused them as well. Trump also, would not need to testify in order to get those records in, so there is really no good explanation as to anything other than he did cause them to happen.
Cohen's testimony was always gravy because Donald Trump admitted that he knew of all the falsified records. Not guilty parties would make obvious actions here, but Trump made none of them.
You obviously did not read the trial transcripts. Trump committed NO crime.
That is crazy! Those instructions must go into the deliberation room! They do in Texas and I’m sure the jurors refer to it while they deliberate.
This is something I've always wondered, you have judges and lawyers who have gone to years of schooling and have most likely been on the job training for years. Then comes the waitress, the warehouse worker, the construction worker and the chef, all which get paid far less then the judge and lawyers and yet they are expected to remember and weed through the dos and don'ts of the law.
That is so true - but you can't expect educated judges to make the correct decision either - just look at the Supreme Court.
Twelve people of average ignorance, said Herbert Spencer.
Or as Mark Twain said of the jury system:
"The jury system puts a ban upon intelligence and honesty, and a premium upon ignorance, stupidity and perjury. It is a shame that we must continue to use a worthless system because it was good a thousand years ago...I desire to tamper with the jury law. I wish to so alter it as to put a premium on intelligence and character, and close the jury box against idiots, blacklegs, and people who do not read newspapers. But no doubt I shall be defeated--every effort I make to save the country "misses fire."

The trial and exicution of Louis XVI was over in 4 days.
He had even worse lawyers (some how) than trumps bargain basement lawyers.
Great guest.
Standard memory has the the capacity of 5+ or -2. So the jury will not remember at least 5 of the 12 instructions, up to possibly 9. Have a copy in the jury room for goodness sake!
I understand the concern about the jury going forward without written jury instructions, but hopefully the jury can ask the judge to restate
Couldn't someone have done some research and found the answer if the jury will be allowed written instructions? Poor journalism.
Yes, they should have. Short version: they can have the written instructions unless the defendant objects … and there are some limitations to defendants objecting. Plus, the jury can have the instructions read to them by the stenographer from the official court record any time and as often as they want to hear them. So they’ll have ample access to the instructions. Plus, two of the jurors are lawyers so they’ll likely be able to help the others understand the finer points.
@@jasonescott thank you
There is right and there is wrong in this world, and that distinction is not difficult to make.
Not difficult to a critically thinking, educated citizen - but I was a Juror yrs ago, and the Judge reiterated before Deliberations that a Defendant is innocent until proven guilty. Well one Juror didn't believe that at all, "where there's smoke, there may be fire", and refused to listen to common sense. Unbelievable - resulted in a hung jury.
I’m not a lawyer or judge. However, at this point, New York Court of Appeals case law says that written instructions can’t be submitted to a DELIBERATING jury OVER the objections of the defendant and even then, there is an implied consent if there is no timely submitted objection.
I don’t know why she said that New York law prevents juries from being given written instructions.
Further, even if they didn’t get a stapled copy of the specific instructions, they receive an entire copy of the court transcript- including the verbal instructions from the judge.
And they can have the stenographer read the instructions back to them from the official court record/transcript. This isn’t like they only get the instructions once then have to remember it all. They can hear the instructions whenever they want and probably read them themselves unless there are objections. The instructions are available to them.
@@jasonescott Exactly. Plus, they need the instructions to fill out the forms correctly- and no court would risk every trial ending in a mistrial due to incomplete paperwork from a verdict
If the jury doesn't get the instructions in print, that puts a heavy burden on BOTH closing arguments to explain them. I almost always argued the Circumstantial Evidence Rule and the definition of Reasonable Doubt: "NOT any possible doubt...." but this case has 3 or 4 stages of findings the jury has to make.
Glenn Kirschner went over how the jury instructions are read into the record and the jury can have them read back if they ask for them during the deliberations. A very misleading segment IMO.
How does the jury apply the law to the facts if they don’t get to take the law with them into deliberations? That is so messed up!!!!
How in the world does the jury not receive the instructions . In approximately 25 percent of my jury trials the jury requested assistance on an instruction it was reviewing during its deliberations !! Unbelievable !!! Been there !
I wouldn't try to put together an Ikea bookcase without the written instructions in hand. How can we expect 12 laypersons to reconstruct a 20 day trial and apply all the information accurately to the law that they are not schooled in if they don't have the "cheat sheet" available to work from? This increases my anxiety of the possibility for a hung jury.
I hope the jury will just apply "common sense" and find Trump guilty.
I don’t want the jury to apply common sense . I want them to convict or acquit based on the evidence alone .
@@michaelblankenau6598 Sure, apply common sense in weighing the evidence - and the evidence alone. What do you want, "buffoon" sense?

If we've learned anything from the OJ case, the jury does whatever they want even if it's wrong and they know it.
Well it’s going to be a bit rough when no crime has been charged.
People forget they can try the law as well as the person. Never say or indicate so, but if you do not agree with the law, simply acquit.
To "cause' is to impose one's will.
Why can't jurors take a copy of the jury instructions into the jury room with them?
When a homeless from Portland is voting for Trump, we have a problem.
No the homless have a problem.
Ummmm. The two "laypeople" lawyers, will obviously know they can request the jury instructions.
Jury instructions are critical !!
Those instructions MUST go into the deliberation room with the jurors for the deliberation process. If they are not available for reference during deliberation
and just one mistake is made trying to remember this Dungeons & Dragons map, a mistrial is likely and as the election approaches, there is no time for that.
Andrew Weisman: the jury instructions are not the main story here.
LaDoris Cordell: I can't emphasize it enough just how important the jury instructions are.
Jen Psaki just lets the contradiction slide.
Jen usually better than this.
The contradiction is between two guests who are not on at the same time, not between what one person said before and what the same person is saying now. What do you expect Jen to do? Call the second one a liar or mistaken? Patch the first one on via Zoom so they can argue?
Weisman is a buffoon. He’s playing dumb, he wants a conviction so badly
Come on. People who went to law school are not unfamiliar with criminal law just because they don’t specialize in it after law school. They may not be as expert in it as those who practice, but they should have more insight than the general public.
Very informative. Thanks!
Excellent analysis, but I don't agree that the 2 lawyers in the jury will act the same as lay persons. I'm sure they still remember law school. And others will likely defer to them.

Jury instructions “not required in New York” is not the same as “banned in New York”. Can the Judge not have a copy supplied to the jury, it is after all his court?

I hear a lot of retired judges and lawyers giving opinions about how to over turn the judgements. Just to give their opinion for defense to use for appeal efforts.
So he will make an appeal and then… he won’t pay and won’t go to prison.

Oh wow a judge from Cali will be so fair!

What are "arguements"?
Oh, the jury is stacked against him,
His own lawyers help select the jury … of even they are against trump then trump must be guilty.

Thanks America for the entertainment from New Zealand,
Beer time tomorrow.
Judge Cordell is absolutely brilliant but here she errs in thinking copies of jury instructions should be made available to the jurors. NYS Criminal Courts have historically refused to issue those copies out of concern for media leaks and tampering. How can the jurors remember everything and what to follow? Well, NYS judges spend a lot of time with the jurors and patiently explain what is and what isn't in layman's terms until everyone is clear. A NYS Court Judge (commonly referred to as Justice) is one of the best legal minds, yet the most envious.
Even if found guilty, he will appeal to his supreme court and they will do as they've been doing in all matters trump. Run out the clock for him.
Isn’t it up to the judge whether an appellant can remain free while appealing ?
I think he doesn't do the supreme court first.
He would have to go to the state appeals court first. And they've already ruled against his frivolous motions in this case.
No more clowns! RFK ! ALL THE WAY !!!!!!
Excellent guest.
I'm not sure what she's commenting about? Is that the policy in New York? Why wouldn't jury instructions go into the deliberation room?
They can have the instructions read back to them any time they want them by the stenographer
Lock Drumph up for life.
Right. The judge won't allow an explanation that 'hush money" isn't illegal - it isn't a crime. Judge wouldn't allow an election official testify about what constitutes election law violations. Seems to me that would be some critical information that the judge forbade from being included.
So all cannon has to do is give wrong jury instructions 🤔
Does other criminal court cases go through all of that junk or is it just for trump?
I understand these jury instructions.
I don't believe it will be as complex as Mrs Cordell makes out. Jury duty is 90% common sense. No one expects lay people to be legal experts.
ARGUMENTS, not ARGUEMENTS. Get better interns, MSNBC, and pay them!
The show-trails aren’t working
Yeah - even if convicted - Trump will appeal - delay, delay, delay - the usual Trump playbook.
Conviction is highly doubtful but even if he was, you're saying he shouldn't have the right to appeal? You really need to educate yourself on law. Oh wait, I forgot, your a lefty and laws don't apply.
@@rfbos no I’m saying this is what Trump always does and he escapes consequences of his actions for years and years.
@@rfbos you don’t know if I’m left or right - what I am is sick of Trump and his cons.
You can delay while appealing civil trial judgements. Criminal verdicts require inprocessing immediately even if the inmate in question is released back to the public to file appeals. See the recent examples of Steve Bannon and John Eastman.
He should've been in prison 3 years ago!
Jury instructions are impossible to follow. I listen to the evidence and make a decision using by own critical thinking.
Pretty simple. Did the super businessman genius know what he was paying for when he was worried to his staff about Stormy's story? Don't really worry about instructions.
Stormy! Stormy! Stormy! Stormy for Trump's VEEP!
This trial is still going on! Our entertainment media has decided to take a long holiday from Due Process and the Bill of Rights! It will be recorded as a tragic page in American History.
Tell the staff writing the on-screen banners that "arguments" doesn't have that extra 'e'. If you are to be a trusted source of information, the information should always be right. No excuse not to proofread. Sorry - as a professional proofreader, this kind of thing drives me nuts, especially from a trusted media source.
SPEAK.
What an EXCELLENT discussion from the judge.
And the jury were not allowed a copy of the instructions. And we still don’t know what the actual crime was that he was found guilty of. I don’t blame the jury the judge practically said here’s a selection of the crimes I think he committed, take your pick!!
There's only one E in "arguments"
Oh my goodness this is not good news - I was Foreperson of a jury not long ago and the consensus of the jury was "beyond reasonable doubt" meant no doubt whatsoever - which is completely wrong. The other thing is the indicted man was charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm (he hit someone causing them to fall backwards, hit his head and become a paraplegic). So the consensus of the jury was that in order to have acted recklessly the indicted man needed to be aware of the outcome of his actions which is ridiculous and completely the opposite of what recklessly means. So he got off.
My point is how can we expect ordinary lay people to make a proper judgement when they can't even understand simple English?
And that was a really simple court case - Trump's is much more complicated and I fear the instructions from the Judge will totally confuse them which will ultimately set him free..
2 people on the jury are lawyers, so as long as they're not Trump lawyers, they should be able to explain the instructions.
And as Glenn Kirshner (the Justice Matters guy) explained, the jury can have the court stenographer read back the jury instructions any time they want or need clarification or to refresh their memory.
