<p>CNN legal analyst Randy Zelin, a defense attorney, told CNN anchor Kate Bolduan that he did not believe the prosecution had come anywhere close to meeting its burden in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-the-trump-trial-has-backfired-spectacularly-on-the-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hush-money trial</a> against former President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Bolduan set Zelin up for the question, noting that in every court case, the burden of proof rests on the prosecution — and the prosecutor&#8217;s ability to prove the case &#8220;beyond a reasonable doubt&#8221; to the jury.</p>

<p>&#8220;They fell way short&#8230;There is reasonable doubt all over this case,&#8221; CNN legal analyst Randy Zelin said.</p>

<p>&#8220;The burden of proof is an important one to remind everyone: It’s on the prosecution, right? They need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he commit — that Donald Trump broke the law. And you think after listening to all of this, you think they fell short,&#8221; Bolduan began. &#8220;How?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They fell way short, because let’s start with reasonable doubt. What is reasonable doubt? And it’s not simply a doubt based upon reason,&#8221; Zelin began.</p>
<p>&#8220;Any time a human being needs to make an important decision in life, if you have enough information, for example, doctor says you need open heart surgery. ‘Doc, go ahead and schedule. I don’t have a reasonable doubt.’ Conversely, if I say, ‘I appreciate it, but I need a second opinion, I need more information,’ that is having a reasonable doubt. There is reasonable doubt all over this case,&#8221; he continued.</p>

<p>Zelin went on to name several of the prosecution&#8217;s key witnesses and explain why he did not think they had made the case against Trump in a credible way.</p>
<p>&#8220;How did Michael Cohen get away with stealing $30,000? Hold a pity party for him — made $4 million on this, thought he’d be chief of staff. He’s a fixer! If the plumber comes to my house to fix my leak, I could be home. That doesn’t mean I know how he’s doing it and what it’s taking to be fixed,&#8221; Zelin said, suggesting that Trump may have hired a &#8220;fixer,&#8221; but still could have been unaware of the methods <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-mark-meadows-demand-michael-cohen-be-ashe-schow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cohen</a> had employed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Stormy Daniels, let’s hold a pity party for her. Why do we need to know whether or not the former president wore a condom or not?&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It’s simply about: Did the former president know that books, his records, false entries for legal fees — Michael Cohen was his lawyer — getting intent to cover up the election or to protect his family? It’s everywhere. Everywhere!&#8221;</p>
