Closing arguments, jury instructions and maybe a verdict? Major week looms in Trump hush money trial

The trial involving Trump's alleged falsifying of business records for hush money payments will have closing arguments serving as recaps rather than evidence, before jurors deliberate.
The defense, not having to prove innocence, only needs to persuade one juror that Trump's guilt wasn't proven beyond reasonable doubt to avoid conviction.
Judge Juan M. Merchan will instruct the jury on the case's legal aspects before deliberations start, possibly on Wednesday.
