After break, Justice #Merchan asks if the defense spoke to #Trump & admonishes the prosecutors, specifically #Hoffinger, saying that the level of detail they’re eliciting from #StormyDaniels is unnecessary. (Weird bc defense didn’t lodge any objections)
This is a reminder that juries, even in the most prominent cases, almost never hear the full story. The evidence they are permitted to consider is balanced against the possible prejudice it could have against the defendant.
