The jury in the bank and tax fraud trial of President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort on Thursday asked the judge to clarify the meaning of « reasonable doubt » and the legal requirements to disclose foreign bank accounts as it wrapped up its first day of deliberations.
In a note to the judge that said it wanted to go home at 5:30 p.m. (2130 GMT), the jury asked for a definition of « reasonable doubt. » In the U. S. legal system, juries are required to find a defendant guilty of a crime « beyond a reasonable doubt. »
