There is no discernable crime in the NY v Trump case: Jonathan Turley

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley cautioned that it may not be an advantage for former President Trump's legal team that there are two attorneys present in the jury pool. 

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's prosecutors allege that Trump committed a felony by falsifying business records in "furtherance of another crime." New York prosecutor Joshua Steinglass on Tuesday said the other crime was a violation of a New York law called "conspiracy to promote or prevent election."

"This case has no crime that is discernable," Turley said on "America's Newsroom," criticizing prosecutors. 

He cautioned however that if members of the jury feel compelled to express doubts about the district attorney's case against Trump, the attorneys present in the jury pool might "weigh in at that moment" and "silence those dissenting voices." 

"That's why I think it's a bad idea and I don't think it's a good thing to have two attorneys on this jury," Turley said.
