    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Legal analyst and attorney Glenn Kirschner predicted on Friday that the jury “will convict Donald Trump” in his criminal hush money trial.

    Kirschner said in a YouTube video on Wednesday that there’s a “mountain” of corroborating evidence against the former president, referencing witness testimonies, business records, and reimbursement checks.

    Criminal defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor Rocco Cipparone told Newsweek in a phone interview on Saturday morning that “if you’re not in a courtroom daily and you can’t observe the nuances of what go on, including like witnesses’ credibility and things like that…it’s hard to predict.”

    Cohen is a disbarred lawyer who previously pleaded guilty to tax evasion, bank fraud, campaign finance violations, and lying to Congress.

    Meanwhile, former U.S. attorney and law professor at University of Michigan, Barbara McQuade, told Newsweek in an email on Thursday, that “it is always difficult to predict what juries might do because they each come to court with their own experiences and worldviews, and because they had the advantage of seeing up close every moment of the trial.”

    “I recognize that this is the worst possible jury pool for Trump,” Turley wrote, presumably due to the former president’s previous low polling in New York City.
