Trump Lawyer Says This Next Part of the Trial Could Determine the Entire Case
SUMMARY
Trump's legal spokesperson, Alina Habba, recently explained a critical aspect of Trump's upcoming trial that could impact the entire outcome.

Habba pointed out that Judge Merchan will oversee the jury instructions. These instructions will guide the jury on how to apply legal guidelines when reaching a verdict.
"The jury instructions are the roadmap for non-attorneys and jurors to follow the law."
She reiterated the importance of these instructions and remains concerned that a partisan judge could introduce biases favoring the prosecution within them.
"It's going to be critical and at this point I have zero confidence in the fact that this person that should not be sitting on the bench right now, will do the right thing and give jury instructions that are in an appropriate manner, without any persuasion towards the prosecution."
Habba suggested that the politicization of the jury instructions could be the prosecution and judge's final effort to sway the jury against Trump.
"The last resort for the prosecution is going to be this judge, with political motivations, going to give them instructions on how to decide the fate of a former president and the future president of the United States."
