He has been a total disaster for the prosecution Johnny2X2X May 2024 #9

That does not seem to be the consensus of most legal experts. Ocelot II May 2024 #10

A lot of litigators would argue that the prosecution should have brought this up and dealt with it on direct onenote May 2024 #24

Even seasoned prosecutors are not watching the trials. Hardly anybody is. jimfields33 May 2024 #52

How much evidence is there that doesn't involve Michael Cohen? Johnny2X2X May 2024 #19
