Justice #Merchan explains the concept of #intent. He tells the jurors that they can consider #Trump’s conduct “and all of the circumstances surrounding that conduct,” including what he said, what actions followed from his conduct, & whether those actions were the “the natural, necessary & probable consequence of that conduct.” In other words, intent can be inferred from a person's actions & the effects of those actions.
