Judge Juan Merchan reiterated to the jurors the importance of the limiting instructions he provided throughout the trial. These instructions were given to guide the jurors on how to consider certain pieces of evidence for specific purposes.
One of the key points Judge Merchan emphasized was the non-prosecution agreement involving American Media Inc. (AMI). He clarified that this agreement should only be used to evaluate the credibility of David Pecker, the CEO of AMI, and not as evidence of the defendant's guilt or innocence.
