Vance on Jury Instructions in Trump N.Y. Trial: It Makes Me a ‘Little Bit Uncomfortable’

‘I’m used to having those instructions written in stone before I can argue so I can tell the jury here is what the judge will tell you about the law and my understanding is that may happen a little bit differently here’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

VANCE: “You know, there is this kerfuffle about whether or not Trump could put on an expert witness about election law and the judge said no, that’s my job, I get to tell the jury what the law is. That’s what he’ll do when he instructs them. The order — I don’t know if Andrew has the same reaction. It makes me just a little bit uncomfortable, I’m used to having those instructions written in stone before I can argue so I can tell the jury here is what the judge will tell you about the law, and my understanding is that may happen a little bit differently here. But ultimately, the judge is the authority who tells the jurors what law to use.”
