Coomer Rests, Case Going to Jury Friday
The 10 day trial has been a three ring circus
Plaintiff Eric Coomer rested his case in Coomer vs. Lindell on Thursday, and the defense came close to resting theirs.
At the close of proceedings yesterday, attorneys for Mike Lindell asked for the opportunity to call one additional witness before the case goes to the jury. The judge asked for the proffer in the morning.
Regardless, jury instructions will be read to the jury as early as 9aMT tomorrow, and then the parties will present their closing arguments. If the jury doesn’t reach a verdict by close of business Friday, then they will resume the task on Monday.
The jury heard testimony from Professor Halderman and Peter Kent yesterday, with the former consuming most of the day. You can read my summaries of those exchanges here.
Many people have asked me what I think is going to happen, and I’ve been withholding my take until the case was with the jury. I will not be in the courtroom today — big FOMO, ngl — so this morning on Badlands Daily, I will make my predictions.
Thank you Ashe!
