Prosecutors are allowed to bring up Trump's civil fraud case and his defamation of E Jean Carroll. Check out Harry's op-ed on the topic here: www.latimes.com/opinion/story...

    Hi Harry. I'm a lawyer and I keep wanting to hear about what the second crime is that makes this a felony. Noone seems to be focusing on this and I was very surprised that the prosecutors didn't address it yesterday in opening statements. Isn't that troubling? I thought Blanche's "It's called democracy" quip from yesterday got to the marrow of the defense. Sorry to say, it's a good point (and a good line). Without hearing the State articulate that second crime (or crimes), I'm inclined to agree. With two lawyers on the jury, they aren't likely to get away with vague references to "election interference" or "lying to the voters". Not enough...."cite please!". I'd love to hear you do a vlog on this. Keep up the good work! 👍

      For the same reason that whether or not he had sex with anyone in these cases is not particularly relevant to this prosecution, it’s his actions after the claims that are.
      The “credibility and character” parts are about the lying and law breaking around words, not the rapes or infidelity.
      The judge is protecting himself and the prosecution from the real likelihood that “prejudice” will be raised as grounds for appeal.
      While this is not “any old case”, it still has to be tried by exactly the same means and standards as any other case.
