I have heard very little to nothing from the defense table that directly refutes almost anything the prosecution has placed into evidence.
In my opinion, that does not bode well for the defense.
I agree.
The witnesses lied is not much of a defense.
Of course you would believe convicted, pathological liars with delusions of grandeur.

Yeah only the NY governor could pardon him in this case. That's been explained a million times since this case was floated.
How can this case be about campaign finance violations, which in this case is a campaign for President, be anything but a federal case?

This judge is on crack.
The jury requested he re-read the entire instructions. It took like an hour to read the first time.
He doesn't wanna do that, so instead he's spending an hour with the lawyers to agree on which part of the instructions he's gonna read them instead.
Just read them the whole thing again, idiot.
The reason he didn't give them a copy to take with them is because he wants to be able to fine tune their guilty verdict on individual points.

The Supreme Court would disagree with you. In Schad v. Arizona SCOTUS ruled that juries don't need to be unanimous in the predicate crimes, just in the crimes that are actually being charged.

I'm gonna need you to cite exactly where, with links and quotes, that ruling says that.
I have to ask, since last time you tried to cite a case to me to prove your point, you actually wound up proving yourself wrong because you don't know how to read a law. So I have low confidence in your ability to read a SCOTUS decision.
nothing in our history suggests that the Due Process Clause would permit a State to convict anyone under a charge of "Crime" so generic that any combination of jury findings of embezzlement, reckless driving, murder, burglary, tax evasion, or littering, for example, would suffice for conviction.

The judge instructed the jury to be cautious about Cohen's testimony and to make a decision based upon the uncontested facts of the case.
I'd suspect from that, there is strong evidence not based upon witness testimony, such as: recordings, notes, receipts and account transactions.
I'd go with guilty.

The fact you claim there was no evidence presented apart from Cohens testimony just proves you have no idea of what you’re talking about.
If you had of said the prosecution put forward a lot of solid evidence and the defense’s arguments didn’t make much sense, but yet it still hasn’t been proven beyond reasonable doubt… that would’ve been a credible opinion, which the jury may or may not agree with.
But your just showing your bias and denying reality itself.

Love Trump or hate him, these bogus charges and politicized kangaroo courts make us look no different than the
crookedest of banana republics.

Now could you imagine if Biden was Putin and Trump was Putins biggest political rival?
The whole Western mainstream media would be saying what a scam the Russian political system is and the whole trial is a sham and Putin is a dictator who makes up charges on political rivals etc etc etc but instead since it's Biden, the democrats and the US, the media other then a couple right wing sources, has been very quiet about calling this anything but a "fair" trial and that Trump is dangerous for the country etc

This is not a political trial...
Guilty
No Jail time

I think they will try to send him to jail.
At the very least, it'll be at-home confinement until the appeals court decides.
And that is next year.

You suspect? LoL
Where have you been?
The only “evidence” against Trump was Cohens lies.
That’s it.
Nothing else was contested.
You have a disbarred convicted liar who during testimony lied again and again regarding materially important facts.
Nothing he says can be taken as fact.
