Emphasizing Defense Strategy and Witness Credibility
The defense in the trial focuses on undermining witness credibility, particularly Michael Cohen, aiming to portray him as prone to exaggeration. The defense strategically uses witness testimonies like David Pecker's to cast doubt on Cohen's reliability, suggesting that if Cohen exaggerated, the case against the former president falls apart. By questioning the witnesses and pointing out inconsistencies in their testimonies, the defense seeks to diminish the impact of key prosecution evidence.
