Yes. Redirect should be limited to addressing only what was brought up on cross.

Isn't the whole point of having your own experts to confuse the jury or at least cast doubt on the prosecution's case?

This judge is about as one-sided as any judge in Iran or North Korea.

And cohen authenticated them on the stand, correct? Also depends on the content of the emails and what they were used for.


Only a retard Biden voter would think authentication by that lying POS Cohen would mean anything.

It doesn't matter anymore. They could write a book with the amount of reversals this Judge will take Appellate hits on. They'll be talking about this case in Law Schools forever

Isn't that the point of the expert witness?

Because he hates conservatives, America First and Trump/Trump supporters... so he's perfectly fine with corrupting the system against them.

Init is not typical in criminal trials to bring in “experts” to explain the law. That is the Court’s job.

Wait what? The defense already has their expert on the witness list and intended to call him to refute the testimony of Smith. It’s weird that they would also have an expert on campaign finance law already on the witness list if it is not typical in a criminal case.

quote:

Adav Noti—Noti is the Executive Director of Campaign Legal Center (CLC). Prior to CLC, Noti served more than ten years within the Office of General Counsel of the Federal Election Commission, in nonpartisan capacities. On March 1, 2024, the DA’s office informed Trump that it intended to call Noti as an expert witness to address the same topics as Trump’s expert, Bradley Smith (see below). Among other items, Noti might speak to the rules regarding a third-party’s payment of a candidate’s expenses and about how corporate expenditures, made for the purpose of influencing an election and in coordination with or at the request of a candidate or campaign, are unlawful.

literally says in the evidence rules in all 50 states and in the federal rules that an out of court statement used to impeach is not hearsay


I haven’t seen the transcript yet, but the blurb I got on the email states it’s an email from an associate of Robert Costello to Cohen. The email author (Costellos associate) gives his understanding of Costellos impression of the meeting.

I don’t know if the defense plans to call Costello

From what I read, the expert is being allowed to testify to what the Federal Election Commission is, its purpose, background, what laws if any it is responsible for enforcing and general definitions and terms. The defense wanted to expand the testimony, but I don’t know what they expected him to cover(although they stated it was the same subject matter that Smith was not allowed to testify on in the case against Sam Bankman- Fried)

Is that the whole purpose of competing experts?

Imagine med mal where only o e side gets expert witnesses.

Ya know so jurors won’t be “confused”.

I sat on a medical malpractice trial jury last year and we literally had competing experts that we had to give weights to. trying to imagine that judge saying to the defense (who we ultimately sided with) that they couldn't call witnesses who might conflict and confuse us.
