MSNBC Legal Analyst on Trump Hush Money Trial: ‘I Do Worry that There Are Lawyers on This Jury’
LEMIRE: “So let’s talk about — give us a quick sense of the defense. And then tell us about the — the jury instruction process. For those of us who aren’t in your line of work, who who are not in a courtroom day-in. Day-out, what does that — what does that look like?”
COLEY: “Well, starting with the defense, I think their — their strategy could really be summed up in four words, ‘Don’t believe Michael Cohen.’ And what we saw in four days of somewhat meandering testimony, cross examination towards the end of this trial, we saw them take a couple hits at Michael Cohen’s credibility. We now know, for example, that in addition to being a convicted felon, and a liar, we know that Michael Cohen, by his own admission is a thief. So I expect to see defense attorneys returned to those thematics. I think what I would worry about if I’m on the prosecution case, and I say this tongue in cheek, because I ran communications at arguably the largest law firm in the world, the U.S. Justice Department, I do worry that there are lawyers on this jury, and not one but two lawyers. And by my own experience, lawyers can sometimes be overly analytical, they can be hyper technical, and I do worry that the non lawyers on this jury may rely on the lawyers who, quite frankly, don’t have expertise in this area of law.”
LEMIRE: “All right. MSNBC Justice and Legal Affairs Analyst Anthony Coley, thank you.”
