It's really not.

This brings up a point though.  There are elements of proof of an offense that the prosecution must meet to legally have proven their case.  If they fail on even one of the elements, a conviction cannot be sustained and should not be delivered by the jury's verdict or should be reversed on appeal.

That said, there are elements of persuasion that prosecutors feel they must meet in addition to the elements of proof in order to have a jury convict on the offense.  The classic example is "motive, opportunity, and means" to commit a murder.  You will find those elements nowhere in any statutory definition of murder or a related homicide offense.  Therefore, they are not elements of proof.  Some seem to think that they are required elements of persuasion, though.

Whether he fucked Stormy Daniels or not is utterly irrelevant to the case at bar.  Whether someone believes the jury must be persuaded of that in order to convict is a different story and likely an unknowable proposition.  They certainly will not be asked any jury questions on that issue.

Yup, but I might say it a bit differently. Murder doesn't require proof of motive, but it does require proof of intent. Evidencing motive is one way to prove intent (arguably the primary way). It is like you have a puzzle with a square piece to fill in. You may have multiple pieces that fit the square intent space (e.g., motive, confession, etc). Legally, it doesn't matter which one you put there, but you do need to choose one of them.

Ms. Daniels, at this so-called encounter with President Donald Trump, you've said at times it was a dinner but then said no food was consumed. We have that in print, Ms. Daniels! Vogue magazine! Aren't you lying?

No. I was invited for a dinner that was never served.

Or so you say!

Objection!

Withdrawn. In this story about your alleged encounter with President-for-Life Trump-

Objection! Sustained

Did you, Ms. Daniels have a beverage?

Yes. I had a Diet Dr. Pepper.

Aha! Diet Dr. Pepper?

Yes.

Did everyone on the jury hear that? Diet. Doctor. Pepper. You know, Ms. Daniels, that God-King Trump 

Objection! Sustained.

-President Trump only drinks Diet Coke. 

No.

I'll also remind you of the Vogue interview. Do you recall?

Yes.

There you say you had a Diet Sprite! There were no sodas in that room other than Diet Coke, so how could you have acquired another soda? You can't even keep your story straight! One day it's Diet Dr. Pepper another day it's Diet Sprite! If you're lying about this, Miss Daniels, what else are you lying about? The defense rests!

Yeah some of those things are related to elements of proof, but strictly speaking are not elements of the crime.  Porking Stormy Daniels is not an element of the crime in this case.  It may be important for the jury to believe her on that issue if they are to secure a conviction, though.

Honestly, though, because the crime occurred almost entirely on Trump's side of things, his motive, his actions and the actions of his subordinates, and the understandings and observations of those things by guys like Pecker, Davidson,and Cohen, I think, are the important pieces of evidence for the prosecution for meeting their burden of proof of the elements of the offense.  Daniels may be there mostly to make Trump look like an asshole.

And, because her relevance is fairly slight, and the risk of her making him look like a complete asshole is great, Merchan was kind of queasy about the whole Daniels testimony.

As I mentioned before, while it may not be relevant in a technical sense, do we really want to be talking about an NDA about nothing?  In the end, the question of its relevance has been waived by the defense and any harm on its admission is a non issue because the defense repeatedly brought up the veracity of her testimony on the question of whether they had sex.

Yeah, like some of the other things, the prosecution may feel like the jury MUST hear from Stormy Daniels in this case, even though she doesn't know a whole lot germane to the actual charges.

For the peanut gallery, that's a real thing:  sometimes you put on a witness or testimony that has almost nothing to do with anything because the jury would be disappointed, severely, not to hear that testimony or from that witness.  You fear they may hold that against you in deciding the jury questions on the really relevant evidence.

Like the inventors on patents half the time have very little of substance to offer the patent infringement case.  But by God, if you can get em, you put em on the stand and try to have em tell a dazzling story about the invention.

It's window dressing.  Stormy may be window dressing, but she also has the potential ability to make Trump look like shit.

This.  There are often witnesses who you have to put on -- you don't need them to PROVE your case, but you damned well need them to WIN your case.

If they didn't put on Stormy, the jury would have wondered what they were hiding.  As an added bonus, she made Trump look like the piece of shit that he is.  Making the other side look like a piece of shit in the eyes of the jury is always a good idea, if you can pull it off.

This hits a bit too close to home for me.  I have a long time tenant that is a hardcore Trumper.  At one point he wasn't paying rent and so I went an visited and he offered to give me his 96 Grand Cherokee in lieu of rent.  I asked him how he was going to get to work if he didn't have the truck, his response floored me, "well it doesn't run, which is why I haven't been going to work, and also why I can't pay the rent.  Do you think you could give me a ride for a while after I give you the truck?"  Instead I offered to look at the truck and quickly determined the starter was bad, I went to the store, got it and put it in for him.  Eventually, I got my money back.  

Absolutely baffling.  This is what we are dealing with.  Also, if you are in the landlord game, this also is the type of lunacy you can expect.

1. Closest I got to the landlord game was teaching College Orientation for new students (who probably have a story about where the rent money went.) My first lesson to them was "Show Up," and everything else was padding so I could draw a check.

Well, he was attempting to trade for 2 months rent in 2022 dollars, so about $3500 I guess.  I have no idea if this would have been a good deal or not.   It wasn't to me, I don't want you to pay me once, I want you to pay me in perpetuity.

WARNING! Drunk lawyer war story!

Trump‘s lawyer who crossed stormy reminds me of an attorney for Traveler’s insurance who attacked my very sketchy client in a jury trial when I was a young lawyer.   It is gospel among good plaintiff trial lawyers that you are never rude and in attack mode on a witness unless you have an unusually bad witness who’s done truly terrible things that you can easily prove.    Jurors do not like to watch you being mean to a witness. Period.  

This defense attorney’s demeanor was resting bitch face when she was at her best, but most of the time she was scowling and almost scream-spitting at my witnesses.   Let me repeat, my case was so friggin horrible that the insurance company took a meager cost of defense settlement off the table on the day of trial.  

During the direct of my client, she pulled out a deposition and started grilling him in a similar bunny in the pot/I won ‘t be ignored type manner - like stormy was grilled but worse. She exaggerated what my client had said, and not so subtly misrepresented some of his deposition testimony in questions. 

As the cross went on, I could see her thinking she had a killshot about his drinking before the accident happened. She bowed up, shoved the deposition in his face, and insisted that he read that she thought was different than his trial testimony.  He shook his head and declined, and before the judge could intervene to instruct him to answer, she went on a tear about not being honest with the jury and refusing to read the deposition to them.   At that moment, several big tears dribbled down his cheek.   He swallowed, turned to the jury and told them, “I’m sorry I never learned to read.”

I won the trial with a 9-3 plaintiff verdict.    I can honestly say I never could’ve done it without her.   I was getting some of that vibe as I read some of the transcript of today’s hearing.   Being Nasty to Stormy will make Trump very happy, but there is a fair to good chance that it pushes the jury away from Trump and his lawyers more than they needed. 

tl;dr

I think being mean to Stormy on cross today backfired Bigly
