New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's trial on criminal charges of covering up hush money payments to a porn star to protect his 2016 election campaign could go to the jury next week. Judge Juan Merchan said Monday that "issues" that cropped up over the weekend made it "apparent that we are not going to be able to sum up tomorrow" as he had hoped. He said the goal would now be "finishing up everything this week... so we can have summations first thing next week." The defense is expected to finish its cross-examination of star witness Michael Cohen on Monday, after which the prosecution has said it w...

Der weltweit beachtete Prozess gegen den früheren US-Präsidenten Donald Trump um Schweigegeldzahlungen an eine Pornodarstellerin hat mit den Eröffnungsplädoyers von Anklage und Verteidigung inhaltlich begonnen. Beim ersten Strafprozess gegen einen Ex-Präsidenten in der US-Geschichte warf Staatsanwalt Matthew Colangelo dem anwesenden 77-Jährigen in New York vor, er habe den Ausgang der US-Präsidentenwahl 2016 mit der Zahlung von 130.000 Dollar an Sex-Darstellerin Stormy Daniels beeinflussen wollen: «Es war Wahlbetrug - schlicht und einfach». Trumps Anwalt Todd Blanche stellte seinen Klienten da...

New York (AFP) - Terrorists, mafia bosses -- and Donald Trump. The common thread? When they go on trial, the jurors have such a tough task that they have to be kept anonymous for their own safety. Being one of the 12 New Yorkers sitting in judgment on arguably the most controversial politician in modern US history -- a past president and strong contender to regain the White House this November -- was never going to be straightforward. This is a case "that could well be important to who wins the presidency," University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias said. Aside from the pressure of being...

New York (AFP) - More than 50 prospective jurors were excused from the landmark trial of former president Donald Trump on Monday after they said they would not be able to try him fairly and impartially. Ninety-six potential panelists were assembled in a New York court to be screened for their ability to fairly judge Trump, accused of covering up hush money payments to a porn star with whom he is alleged to have had an affair. One prospective juror, a woman with short hair, said "I just couldn't do it" as she left court, which was adjourned for the day and will resume Tuesday at 9:30 am (1330 G...

New York (AFP) - Where do you live? What's your job? Married? Any kids? Hobbies? Oh, and have you ever attended a Donald Trump rally? Jury selection for the former president's criminal trial that begins in New York on Monday promises to be as unusual as his campaign style. Prosecutors and Trump's defense attorneys have agreed on 42 questions to be asked of the randomly selected New Yorkers before they are chosen as jurors for the blockbuster trial. The 77-year-old Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records for allegedly paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016...

New York (AFP) - Potential jurors in next week's hush money trial of Donald Trump will be asked whether they have ever attended a rally in support of or opposition to the former president.

Trump faces 34 counts of allegedly falsifying business records for paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to cover up a sexual encounter. Jury selection for the blockbuster trial is to begin in a Manhatta...

Fort Lauderdale (United States) (AFP) - A US jury on Thursday rejected the death penalty and backed life imprisonment for Nikolas Cruz, who shot and killed 17 people at a Florida high school, in a sentence that shocked and angered some relatives of the victims. Cruz, 24, wearing a striped sweater and large glasses, stared down expressionless at the defense table as the verdict was read while the parents of several slain children shook their heads in disbelief. The jury deliberated for a full day on Wednesday and briefly on Thursday before deciding that Cruz should receive life in prison with n...

Fort Lauderdale (United States) (AFP) - A US jury on Thursday rejected the death penalty for Nikolas Cruz, who shot and killed 17 people at his former Florida high school, opting instead for life imprisonment without the chance of parole. The jury deliberated for a full day Wednesday and briefly Thursday before deciding that the 24-year-old Cruz should receive life in prison for the February 2018 murders of 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. A death penalty recommendation needed to be unanimous and at least one or more of the 12 ju...

Minneapolis (AFP) - Millions of people have watched the video of George Floyd's death. A dozen will decide the fate of the white policeman seen kneeling for nearly nine minutes on the neck of the 46-year-old Black man. Seating a 12-member jury for the murder trial of Derek Chauvin, a 19-year veteran of the Minneapolis police force, is particularly difficult because the case has received such widespread publicity. "The challenge is to find jurors who have not made up their mind, who have not prejudged the case," said David Schultz of the law school of Hamline University. The viral video of Flo...
