Donald Trump's hush money trial continues in New York on Thursday after seven jurors were sworn in on Tuesday.
AP is live outside a New York courthouse as jury selection continues in Donald Trump’s hush-money case after seven jurors were sworn in on Tuesday. Eleven more jurors still need to be picked.The most recent crop of 18 potentials in the jury box — an initial juror was excused and replaced by another man — have now gone through the standard screening questionnaire. After lunch, they will be questioned by lawyers.
Manhattan’s main criminal courthouse is over 80 years old, and the building has many quirks. Merchan said that if he tried to raise the heat even slightly, the room would probably end up getting way too hot.Print Merchan noted that the juror had “expressed annoyance about how much information about him had been out in the public,” echoing concerns of the previously dismissed juror.
“I’ve discussed the legal merits of this case with many coworkers,” she added. When asked whether she could still be a fair and impartial juror despite that, she let out a deep sigh before responding, “Yes.”Former President Donald Trump awaits the start of proceedings during jury selection at Manhattan criminal court, Thursday, April 18, 2024 in New York. Some 48 people indicated that they could not serve fairly and impartially.
Prosecutors found an article from the 1990s about a man with the same name as the juror being arrested for tearing down political advertisements in suburban Westchester County. The posters were on the political right, Steinglass said. The former president’s new posts came after the prosecutors initially sought a $3,000 fine on Monday for three other Truth Social posts.
“We just lost what probably would have been a very good juror,” the judge continued. “She said she was afraid and intimidated by the press, all the press.”A nurse who had been selected for Trump’s criminal trial was dismissed Thursday after she told the court she’d become concerned about her ability to be impartial.
