When things finally get under way, Justice #Merchan will describe the #legal meaning of the word “#intent” & the concept of the presumption of innocence. He will remind the #jurors that they pledged to set any biases aside against #Trump before they were sworn in, & that Trump’s decision not to testify cannot be held against him.

Then, Justice Merchan will explain the 34 charges of falsifying business records. It will be the most important guidance that he gives during this #TrumpTrial.
