Andrew Weissmann: 辩方试图通过强调科恩的忙碌程度、与特朗普的长期合作关系以及经济利益来质疑科恩证词的可信度,但这存在逻辑漏洞,因为这暗示科恩的部分证词是可信的。辩方策略存在风险,例如在交叉盘问中过度追问,反而为控方提供了更多机会解释关键信息。 Mary McCord: 辩方在交叉盘问中主要围绕三个主题展开:科恩的记忆可靠性、科恩与特朗普的长期律师关系以及科恩的经济利益。辩方试图通过这些论点来削弱科恩证词的可信度,并在结案陈词中强调没有伪造商业记录,科恩一直以来都为特朗普提供法律服务,以及科恩的经济利益。

But some crucial points were made before the conclusion of Michael Cohen’s cross examination that veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord explain in depth. They also weigh in on some courtroom tactics that worked and others that didn’t go over well from both the prosecution and the defense. Plus, Andrew and Mary detail some of the gambits used by defense witness Robert Costello that were admonished by Judge Merchan.
