‘It’s a Bad Self-Inflicted Wound’: Litman on Blanche’s Overpromise in Trump’s N.Y. Criminal Trial

RUSH EXCERPT:

LITMAN: "It’s already clear to the jury really that it’s been a reimbursement. They may hold it for summation, New York is a little different. In New York, the prosecution will go last and the defense first, they will have their final word. I think a good strategic move would be to just hold it and say remember what Mr. Blanche promised you, well, what have you heard? It's really an odd promise that he made because the evidence seemed so clear from the start that that’s what this was. I think it’s a bad self-inflicted wound."
