Manhattan Court jury selection is going exactly as you'd expect, from both pool and judge

Blanche presents a Facebook post from one of the prospective jurors that he argues shows an anti-Trump bias. It was a video of people celebrating the 2020 election, which Blanch notes Trump lost.
quote:
She confirms that is her Facebook post and acknowledges a "bias exists," but does not think it affects her ability to be fair and impartial.
quote:
Necheles cited a Facebook video in which the juror talked about being in a car “spreading the honking cheer” to celebrate Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election
quote:
Merchan rules the juror has "reasonable explanation" for both the social media posts she was asked about and finds her to be credible and denys Trump's challenge.
quote:
Trump's team moves onto Juror #2, who is now being questioned about a Facebook post that read, "Get him out and lock him up." He says it's his account but he doesn't remember posting it, reiteartes he's not biased.
Merchan rules in favor of Trump.
quote:
Trump's team gets another juror excused after he's questioned about three Facebook posts. Merchan said he doesn't have a problem with the posts, but in conjunction with the answers he gave, judge can't credit his responses.
quote:
Blanche takes issue with Juror #16 over a social media post from six years ago. She confirms it's her account but says she no longer posts politics. Admits she disagrees with Trump politically, but has no doubts about being fair and impartial.
Merchan denies Blanche's challenge.

Political bias runs so deep he will never get a fair tria in NY. Not to mention this one is a total sham aimed at election interference and out of pure hatred of the man himself.

Trump will not be judged by a jury of his peers. Peers are people of the same class as Trump.
No one on that jury will be of equal societal status to Trump. The guy doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell in getting a fair trial.

"Pick me!"
"Pick me!"
This is going to be a long process.

My wife is an engineer, and she has a near-genius IQ. She periodically mentions that, if accused of a crime, she would demand a jury composed only of people with genius-level IQ.

Trump wants as many African American men on that jury as he possibly can. I'm telling you, there's at least one holdout there. You aren't going to find any Republicans, but you may find somebody who hates the legal system.

Facebook post:
"Trump should rot in jail, never see the light of day again and die an old decrepit fool in a solitary confinement jail cell."
Did you post that?
"Yes, but I can be fair an impartial"
Judge:
"I see no reason to dismiss. Challenge denied."
"Next up: Juror 23."
"Aren't you E. Jean Carroll?"
"Well, not that that is important, but yes."
Judge:
"Challenge overruled. She can be fair an impartial. I just know she can."

I'm not sure hoodrats have what is considered social status.

As a black man he shouldn't pick a black man over 50 they are just as bad as white liberal women. If I'm his lawyers I'm picking all black guys under 45.

Appellate Court will throw a cocktail party. That will be to give the indication they had to think this over. They over turn this ......then let's go to a real court

Thats why you should be careful and about living and working in these kinds of places.

Yep. And all it takes is 1 to hang a jury.

This jury will end up looking a lot like OJ's.
