During the trial, Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger is meticulously questioning each potential juror to gauge their ability to render a verdict based on the evidence presented. The focus is on whether they would be able to return a guilty verdict if the evidence proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
As the jurors respond to Hoffinger's inquiries, all eyes, including those of Donald Trump, are on the jury box. The intensity of the moment is palpable as the fate of the case hangs on the responses of these individuals.
In a strategic move, Hoffinger is also probing the potential jurors about their willingness to deliver a verdict of not guilty if the evidence falls short of proving the case. This mirrors the line of questioning employed by Susan Necheles, Trump's lawyer, during the selection process yesterday.
The courtroom atmosphere is charged with anticipation as each juror's response carries significant weight in shaping the outcome of the trial. The careful consideration of these individuals' perspectives on the burden of proof underscores the gravity of the decision they will ultimately be tasked with making.
