      Much better is the fact him trying to stiff her could be a major factor in him being convicted. Cohen testified that Trump wanted to string her along till after the election, because it didn't matter if it came out after. So bury the story without actually paying. The timeline and other evidence backs this up. On the other hand, Trump asserts that it was about his family, not the election. No way that fits. So if he wasn't so cheap, then be much harder to prove that it was about the election. In which case, no longer a felony. Jury just convicts on the lesser falsifying records bit.

      Of course Cohen is not on trial - he was being cross-examined by the defense counsel, i.e. "on cross" as it is known in Canada, an elementary court procedure the right to which is guaranteed to all Canadians and their representative barristers as established by the Canada Evidence Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. C-5, § 10(1). We've got a similar thing worked out down here, too, except we didn't wait until the mid-'80's to codify it. Then again, the U.S. didn't wait until the mid-'80's to shed the deadweight of the Crown from our shoulders either, so I guess all y'alls up there have an acceptable-ish excuse for taking so long... anyway, hope this helps.

      It's called "cross-examination of a witness" - I'm sure you've heard the term before, maybe on TV or in a movie, but fun fact, it's a real law thingy! The idea is to poke holes in the given testimony, and ideally catch the person under cross in a lie (or demonstrate the telling of a deliberate "un-truth"), thereby invalidating their entire testimony. This scenario is known as "perjury," and the goal is to induce the deponent into "perjuring" themself. Hope that help ✌

    It's weird how they're intent on renaming the school after Turner Ashby. Lee, I get (even though he spent little of his time in the state prior to the CIvil War), but Ashby? Ashby wasn't some celebrated commander, he participated in all of FOUR BATTLES during the Civil War, two of which were Confederate Defeats (including one where he potentially outnumbered the Union side SEVEN TO ONE), and of the two victories, the former the Confederates outnumbered the Union by 3 to 1, and in the latter, *he was killed in the battle, potentially by his own side*.

      I live here and that's my old school, what's worse is, in the neighboring County of Rockingham there's a high school named Turner Ashby that got thousands of signatures on a petition back in 2020 to keep the name. All 3 schools were built in the late 50's and named as a response to the Brown v. Board of Education ruling.
