Judge Juan Merchan has made a significant ruling in the ongoing trial, denying the defense's motion for a mistrial. The decision comes after a series of arguments presented by both the defense and the prosecution.
During the proceedings, Judge Merchan emphasized the importance of the jurors' role in determining the credibility of the witnesses. He highlighted that while the burden of proof does not lie with the prosecution to prove the encounter occurred, they must establish the credibility of their witness in light of the defense's challenges.
