When the defense asks for a mistrial [View all]

And the judge denies on many points but one of them is that the defense didn’t object to statements, you know the defendant is fucked.

From CNN:

Judge Juan Merchan also says he was surprised there weren't more objections from Trump's team during Stormy Daniels' testimony.

"The defense has to take some responsibility for that," he says.

"When you say 'the bell has been rung,' the defense has to take some responsibility for that," Merchan adds, referring to Trump attorney Todd Blanche's argument for a mistrial in which he asked "how do you unring a bell?"


To add: the judge interjected and corrected witness during Daniels testimony when defense should have.
