Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger is currently conducting the questioning of the remaining potential alternate jurors in the ongoing trial. Hoffinger, representing the district attorney's office, emphasized to the jurors that the case should not be influenced by the defendant's status as a former president or his popularity. She reiterated that the focus should solely be on whether the evidence presented proves the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt for the crimes he has been charged with.
During the questioning, Hoffinger emphasized the importance of basing the jurors' decisions on the facts and the law rather than personal biases or external factors. She highlighted the burden of proof in criminal cases and stressed that it should apply equally in this case.
