Daniel R. AlonsoThe Bloomberg article, “Trump fight against prosecutors may rely on adviser defense,” discussed how the jury will be an important factor in a trial for former President Donald Trump. Daniel R. Alonso noted, “The complexity of a white-collar case may also work to Trump’s advantage, with competing expert testimony and arcane accounting or legal terms that can confuse a jury. Prosecutors want to present a simple, coherent narrative for the jury. For the defense, it’s the opposite: the more complicated they paint the case, the more likely the jury will throw up its hands and find reasonable doubt.”
Alonso also stated Trump’s team could employ an “everybody-does-it” defense: “They could argue, ‘In some corners of the real estate industry, people exaggerate all the time. What’s the big deal?’”
