Lachlan Cartwright: I’m Struck at How the Jury Is Being ‘Professional’ at Handling Hush Money Case

‘I kind of thought, this is an intense trial, when we started it’

EXCERPT:

CARTWRIGHT: "They’ve been punctual. They have been attentive. Some have been taking notes. No one’s been goofing off. And I kind of thought, you know, this is an intense trial when we started it, and it’s coming at a pretty intense time. We’re in an election year. There’s a lot of pressures on these people. And I kind of felt to myself, you know, I reckon that there’s going to be — you know, people are going to need to skip days, we’ll have a lot of breaks. We had a couple, but not many. People have been showing up, they’ve been paying attention. And again, what showed me today was the request to have these read-backs. They want to have these instructions read to them again. They want to hear David Pecker again because that was a month ago. I need to hear David Pecker's testimony again. We all do. So I've been struck by just how professional they have been in handling this."
