Historic Criminal Trial
The New York judge has tasked a jury with the decision of determining Donald Trump’s guilt or innocence in a historic criminal trial. The prosecutors have presented a complex felony case against Trump, alleging that he falsified a reimbursement to his fixer for a hush-money payment in an attempt to conceal other crimes, including violations of state and federal election laws and tax laws. All 12 members of the jury must be in agreement that Trump is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in order for the prosecutors to secure a conviction. However, if even one juror believes the prosecutors have not met this burden of proof, Trump would be acquitted of the felony charges, dealing a significant blow to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. This trial marks the first criminal case against a former US president, with BBC News reporters on the ground providing updates and analysis on the proceedings. The outcome of this trial carries immense consequences for Trump and the legal system, and the world is watching closely as the jury deliberates.
