Judge Merchan's unusual jury selection process, and what it means for Trump's first criminal trial. Also, 2 of the 7 jurors who have thus far been qualified are lawyers. Do lawyers make good jurors? #JusticeMatters youtu.be/KkWHyagQYIE?si…
@glennkirschner2 As a court reporter, I never get picked for juries, but attorneys do. Sigh. And we're great listeners!
@glennkirschner2 Unless they are this guy.
@glennkirschner2 Yes. I have served on 4 criminal juries…
They don’t like lawyers here,that’s one of the first questions they ask,they get the Jury from your Driver’s License,which assume they have to do it differently in NY since most people in NYC don’t have them,wonder who’s pick the 2 lawyers were since trump’s lawyer must know who they are and if they favor him they could of arranged in advance for them to be on the jury,don’t put anything past them,that’s why I don’t think it’s a good idea in this case you know they are going for a mistrial and they are plenty of Lawyers in NY that are Trump supporters,2 out of 7 so far is a large amount when you’re going for 18,I think
How could Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, the BTK Killer, or any other notorious serial killer become President of the United States? The answer is the same way Donald J. Trump did—by lying about their crimes and using money to cover them up so that voters wouldn’t find out. Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, as the evidence will reveal, this trial is about the lies Donald Trump told to become President, the deceit he spread among the public, and the extent to which he went to cover them up. This isn't just about hush money or extramarital affairs. Donald Trump is a serial criminal, and now attempting to commit the ultimate crime once again. He’s the devil in a suit and tie, poised for his next act. Like any serial killer, it is imperative that we remove him from society and place him behind bars where he belongs. No one is above the law—not me, not you, and not him. You, the jury, must weigh the evidence without bias and beyond a reasonable doubt to find Donald J. Trump guilty as charged.
@glennkirschner2 Lawyers are eligible for jury duty. If you want jurors to focus on the burden of proof then they make for good jurors. But usually one side or the other will strike them.
@glennkirschner2 Do lawyers make good jurors? I'm going to say.... depends on the lawyer. I know that's not a good answer is it Glenn?😄😄
