What will Trump jury decide? Here are the three options

After more than five weeks, countless hours of testimony and a mountain of documents, New York Justice Juan Merchan will soon instruct a panel of 12 New Yorkers to make a historic decision: whether Donald Trump is guilty or not guilty of felony charges.

After both sides make their final pitches to jurors on Tuesday, Justice Juan Merchan will deliver deliberation instructions, going over each of the charges and explaining the elements of the alleged crime. While they can be technical and dry, the instructions are important guidelines for jurors' deliberations.

The former president has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to a hush-money payment made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, who claimed she had sex with Mr Trump.

Over the course of the trial, prosecutors argued that Mr Trump improperly recorded the money with which he reimbursed his former lawyer and fixer as legal expenses. They further accused him of falsifying the business records to conceal a second crime - a violation of state election law.
