In reply to: But I think the judge would have to let him fire his posted by Barrister

much to the frustration of Trump, that what he says in closing argument is not evidence, and admonish him not to address any issues and evidence not presented during the trial (as he/she would with counsel who argued something not in evidence). But the Court can and should refuse it in this situation just because the court has the right to control the proceedings and prevent a circus. I just don't think there is anything that would legally bar the court from allowing it.
