#Mistrial declared in murder trial against former #GrandRapids, #Michigan #cop accused of killing Black motorist
The jury deliberated for more than 3 days in the case against #ChristopherSchurr, 34, & whether he was guilty of second-degree #murder or an alternate charge of voluntary manslaughter after he shot & killed #PatrickLyoya, 26, during a chase in April 2022. The two struggled over Schurr's Taser before the former officer shot Lyoya in the back of the head.

Prediction:
In the next 6-12 hours, if the NY #Trump #jury deliberates that long, there will be a news report of a bribery attempt on one or more juors. The judge will go apeshit, declare a #mistrial. Trump can then put this #trial behind him as there’d likely be no way to retry the case with another jury before election day.
It will turn out “someone” merely left untraceable messages at one or more juror homes or by voicemail, and voila, goal achieved by the mere appearance of interference.

Justice #Merchan criticizes defense for not #objecting to #testimony that was later used in a motion for #mistrial. He says he agrees that the question about whether #Trump wore a condom should not have been asked or answered. But he says he does not know "why on earth” defense atty #Necheles didn't object to that question.
Not only is Merchan signaling that he will likely reject defense’s mistrial motion, but he's dressing down their lawyering in front of their client.
-
#Steinglass concludes: "The defense has not alleged anything remotely approaching grounds for a #mistrial & their motion should be denied."
Justice #Merchan begins to address the mistrial motion. He says that after ruling against the defense's request for a mistrial on Tues, he went back & reviewed many of his past decisions, studying them in his chambers. He says that he came away satisfied.

#Blanche continues to argue that #StormyDaniels's testimony was #prejudicial.
This all seems like he is just creating a record for a future appeal.
Prosecutor #Steinglass responds to the #mistrial motion, saying that much of what Blanche said "is flat-out untrue."
Steinglass says that Daniels has told her story many times & it has not changed significantly. He calls the defense's accusations “nonsense."

Justice #Merchan denies the motion - the #GagOrder will not be altered & #Trump will remain barred from attacking #StormyDaniels.
Trump leans forward & glares at the judge as he denies the motion.
Now Todd #Blanche is arguing for a #mistrial, again. Trump's lawyers have been known to call for multiple mistrials in the course of a proceeding. It could exhaust the judge’s patience, & lose credibility.

Justice #Merchan encouraged the defense lawyers when they moved for a #mistrial on Tuesday to address any disparities by cross-examining #StormyDaniels. But Daniels has been off the stand for hours, & #Blanche is now seeking to make these points to the judge — & the news media. The judge isn't buying it. "I fail to understand" he says, how this is "an alternate set of facts."

Justice #Merchan DENIES #mistrial
Merchan: “l agree there were some things that would have been better left unsaid.”
Defense moves to strike certain parts of #StormyDaniels testimony
Granted
Merchan says, “the witness was a little difficult to control” but he doesn’t let defense entirely off the hook saying part of their responsibility is to object DURING questioning/testimony
They want a mistrial. That’s why they let it all go & Merchan was the one forced to lodge objections.
-
Among the issues that Todd #Blanche brings up as he calls for a #mistrial is #StormyDaniels’s testimony that #Trump didn’t wear a condom. He argues that this testimony was deeply #prejudicial to his client — & asked what the jury is supposed to do w/ much of the info they received from Daniels’ testimony.
Prosecutor #Hoffinger argues that Daniels's story is important for #motive (as said) & #intent, to illustrate what Trump didn’t want the public to know before the election.
-
It would be a surprise for Justice #Merchan to agree to a #mistrial. But he also exhibited displeasure w/how the testimony was going several times, sustaining multiple objections.
It’s not #StormyDaniels’ fault or prosecutors fault that this was a salacious event, it’s just what happened & goes directly to motive for hiding it.
#criminal #law #Trump #TrumpTrial #CatchAndKill #conspiracy #ElectionInterference #HushMoney

right here is why:
#Trump team moves for a #mistrial based on #StormyDaniels #testimony.
"Testimony was so unduly prejudicial to Trump & the charges in this case..."
Trump atty #Blanche argues that the testimony was overly #prejudicial, & that the State was asking questions “to inflame this jury,” in addition to the “pure embarrassment” factor. He says there’s no way the court can instruct the #jury in a way to “unring this bell.”

Judge Arthur #Engoron denied Donald #Trump's request for a #mistrial, describing the defendants' arguments as "nonsensical," "disingenuous," & "utterly without merit."

Ivanka's testimony is expected to go into tomorrow, since the defense anticipates #Trump attys to cross-examine.
Before the defense case begins, Trump's lawyers are expected to make multiple motions tomorrow, likely for a #mistrial as well as judgment as a matter of #law.

#NYAG: "Your honor, we have nothing further at this time for this witness.”
(Thank goodness)#Kise declined cross-examination at this time.
#Trump left the stand.
Trump's attys made post-trial arguments on motions they may make, such as #mistrial motions or challenging the expansion of the #GagOrder to the lawyers.
#Kise says that he may want to mention information potentially barred by the gag order on the lawyers in their mistrial motion.
