COURTHOUSE,
April 19 – In the Trump Trial
on the fourth day of jury
selection, the last of the
alternate jurors was selected,
and opening statements set for
April 22 at 9:30 am.
Justice Juan
Merchan followed his
admonition to not report on
places of employment or accent
in a similar vein about a
prospective juror rejected due
to a prior felony conviction.
But if
that's not reported on, how
will the public know?
Leaving
things vague, the prospective
juror served more than two
years in a Northeastern
state's prison system on drug
charges. Still jury duty
notices keep arriving. There
were tears, an excusal and
suggestion the problem could
be solved.
Less
sympathetic was a juror who
first said he didn't remember
posting about the "massive
anti-Trump rally" near the
United Nations, then said he'd
only gone because it was near
where he lived. He too was
excused. We will have more on
this.
