Juror Is Dismissed as Trump’s Trial Begins Third Day

[BidenPresident]

A juror who had been selected for Donald J. Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan was abruptly excused on Thursday, demonstrating the challenges of picking a jury to decide the fate of the polarizing former president.

The woman told the judge overseeing the case that she had developed concerns about her identity becoming public. Although the judge has kept prospective jurors’ names private, they have disclosed their employers and other identifying information in court.

From the new batch of 96 potential jurors being questioned Thursday, 48 were summarily excused because they said they cannot be fair and impartial.

We are now on jurors who want to be excused for other reasons.

The juror who withdrew was targeted by Jesse Watters, the Fox News host, on Tuesday evening.

Watters said on his show:

I’m not so sure about juror No. 2.

Watters spoke directly about the juror during his show and questioned whether she could really be fair.

The juror told Justice Juan Merchan on Thursday she had been contacted by friends and family asking if she was a juror.

A prospective juror who was born and raised in Italy was just dismissed. He said that the Italian media had pushed comparisons between Trump and Silvio Berlusconi, the country’s former prime minister, and that now that he was here in court — looking directly at Trump, for what it’s worth — he thought he ought to be dismissed. The judge obliges.

Not everyone wants to get involved with Trump's fascist mob.

People who threaten don't do.

People who do don't warn.
