Justice Merchan is now going through all 34 charges, one by one. | |
He explains the first charge | |
relates to a record tied to Michael Cohen's reimbursement for a hush-money | |
payment to Stormy Daniels. | |
Prosecutors must prove | |
beyond a reasonable doubt that first, Donald Trump personally, or in concert with | |
someone else, caused a business record to be falsified with intent to defraud. | |
They must prove the | |
defendant did so with an intent to defraud, that included the intent to commit | |
another crime. | |
If they find that | |
prosecutors have proven both elements beyond a reasonable doubt, they must find | |
Trump guilty of the charge. | |
If the jury finds that | |
prosecutors did not prove one or both elements beyond a reasonable doubt, they | |
must find him not guilty of this charge. | |
