Tweets from a reporter seeing the trial in person are sufficient to resolve answers. Transcripts can also be found here: https://ww2.nycourts.gov/press/index.shtml

What am I missing? Why is this at 1%? Cohen reported to be prosecution’s final witness.
@ClubmasterTransparent The defense is cross-examining Cohen, but he is still a witness that the prosecution has called, so we are still in the "prosecution calls witnesses" phase of the trial. Should probably have been more clear about what this meant as "the prosecution will call their last witness" is a plausible interpretation of that answer
@SaviorofPlant Thanks. I thought it meant literally CALLING witnesses, as in, saying “The People call Wetness X.” If Cohen is the last prosecution witness then prosecution is not going to call any more witnesses. Agree that we are still in “prosecution witnesses” stage and not yet at “defense can call witnesses” stage.
@SaviorofPlant I have no memory of writing that at all! I think I must have accidentally entered a new answer while searching for "Melania," to see the market on her appearance.
@Kolyin Nobody has bet on it yet, so if you want me to edit it to literally anything, I can do that and we can avoid getting a mod involved to N/A it
@SaviorofPlant Thanks! How about, "The cross examination of Michael Cohen will conclude before the lunch break on Thursday, May 16."
@ClubmasterTransparent Yeah, this was very close to resolving YES: https://pdfs.nycourts.gov/PeopleVs.DTrump-71543/Transcripts/5-7-2024/00099.html
This isn't enough because his attorneys were warned, and the wording of the option implies Trump himself has to be directly warned
@SaviorofPlant Is anyone other than Haberman even calling Trump’s exit a “storm out”? Not all even mention it. Maybe he just ducked out for the restroom and looked grumpy,
@ClubmasterTransparent This is the only source, I will only resolve YES if the transcript indicates he left abruptly during proceedings

Reporting from inside the courthouse
This is a good moment to remind people that we have no idea how the jury is interpreting any of this. There is lots of circumstantial evidence that decisions didn’t get made on spending without Trump, and that Michael Cohen made a payment to a porn star, and said later it was better the story didn’t come out before the election. But there has been no direct testimony tying Trump to how the payments were recorded yet.
We're still at zero.
To clarify, this resolves YES if there is a defense exhibit on this page by that date: https://pdfs.nycourts.gov/PeopleVs.DTrump-71543/Evidence/

Will wait until May 17 to resolve but looks very likely
