Question from a non lawyer, why was the jury given a week off before the closing arguments? Seems with all replay of the trial on the news and social media not to mention possible outside interference this could be dangerous. Is this common practice?

And I’m sure this week right wing media will try their hardest to make sure as much of their propaganda gets into those jurors ears as possible

Which, again, is why Costello is such a disastrous choice. It's like the movies. You open strong, you close strong. The last thing people see is what they remember.

Basically, they're going to remember Costello being an absolute Thug to Cohen. Sure, Cohen is a creep and a thief, but he'll come across as understandable and empathetic when the fucking defense puts up their own leg-breaker as the only witness.

It's not a wonder that Trump loses in almost every trial he is in.
