Hundreds of New Yorkers will be reporting for jury duty on Monday morning in Manhattan for the highly anticipated trial of former U.S. president Donald J. Trump. Lawyers for Trump and prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office will be tasked with selecting 12 jurors and several alternates from the pool of potential jurors.
The selection process will involve both sides trying to uncover any biases that could potentially sway the outcome of the trial. Prospective jurors will be asked a series of questions in an effort to gauge their impartiality, all while being in close proximity to Trump himself.
The jury pool is made up of Manhattan residents, however, not much is known about this specific group. Both the defense and the prosecution will be using the next few days or weeks to gather more information about the potential jurors to ensure a fair and unbiased trial.
This trial marks a significant moment in Trump’s legal battles, as he faces the possibility of criminal charges. The atmosphere in the courtroom is expected to be intense, with both sides vying for a fair and impartial jury to preside over the proceedings.
