Can Trump Get a Jury Who Will Give Him a Fair Shake?

I believe that less than twelve percent of New Yorkers voted for anyone except a democrat. That is the very definition of a slanted jury pool.
Well isn't that quaint.

And prospective jurors should not be divided based on political affiliation. This is a criminal trail and not a political one. Look at the indictment. It's about the alleged crimes committed by the criminal defendant.
 
It’s pretty simple. I think most of the Left will accept whatever the court finds. I think most of the right will call it a deep state hoax and fascist conspiracy if anything doesn’t go Trumps way. I don’t think the details of the case matter one bit to these people. And I do think it will be a majority on the right that feel this way

Your hurt feelings destroyed my nation.

Hope you're happy about that

So Sue….Here is where we are

Melania was home with her infant son and Trump needed some loving
So he hooked up with a Porn Star for some action that Melania wasn’t providing.
However, once he was running for President, he was afraid she would speak up
So he got his lawyer Cohen to pay her off with $130,000.
But rather than use his own money, he used TRUMP business account

This is the fine man you are supporting

Don’t forget about the part where he was caught on tape saying that he liked to just kiss beautiful women and stick his finger in their pussies… a recording that tanked his poll numbers and instigated the effort to hush up stormy so she didn’t tell her story and put the final nail in his campaign.
 

"Can Trump Get a Jury Who Will Give Him a Fair Shake? My Expert Opinion Is Yes, and Here’s Why."​


I too believe Mr. Trump can get a fair trial. Although I find his very person anathema, I believe in the justice system. I will not be upset if the jury finds Mr. Trump innocent. Why? The prosecution still has to prove it's case -- in a court of law: "Better that Ten Guilty Persons Go Free Than that One Innocent Person be Convicted."

quotes:
Of course, Mr. Trump doesn’t want a fair trial. Like any other criminal defendant, he wants a jury that is biased in his favor. But can he get a jury that is able and willing to give him a fair shake?

My answer, based on my more than 40 years as a jury consultant for politicians, celebrities, Wall Street financiers and others accused of criminal wrongdoing, is that he can. Granted, Mr. Trump is as high-profile and polarizing as a defendant can be. But the adversarial nature of the selection process and the remarkable can-do attitude that jurors so often display result in a fair jury almost always.

For Mr. Trump, we’re about to find out

Of course he can. Former President Trump has a long history of claiming anything that doesn't go in his favor has to be rigged. His opinions are his. The facts speak for themselves and will again.

Interesting. This trial will be reminding people of things that got buried. Buried mostly by former President Trump's verbal diarrhea.
 
After yesterday, it appears he will get a fair jury.

Most jurors admitted they could not be objective about Trump and were dismissed
They were honest. NYC is filled with honest people, including those who said they could be fair. This is only the first stage in the jury selection. Wait until the chosen ones are grilled by lawyers on both sides. The New York Times has a live feed.

On the trial’s first day, more than half the initial group of prospective jurors was dismissed after they indicated they could not be impartial in the first prosecution of a former American president.

Trump has been painting the Jury Pool as biased against him.

What we have seen is jurors admitting they can’t be unbiased (one way or another) and getting excused from the jury.

The system is working

Horrors, a man that likes to kiss beautiful women. It's 2024. Men are supposed to like kissing men with beards.

Trump never said he stuck his finger in any pussy. He said that women will let celebrities grab them by the pussy. That is a very true statement. Trump needs to be punished for telling the truth.

He sure as hell has been accused of doing so along with 25 accusations of harassment / sexual assault. Combine that with cheating on wife while she was nursing a newborn with a porn star, lying about it, paying her to be quiet, illegally hiding it from campaign finance disclosures…. Yeah, shit is adding up. Cohen did time for this and it was at Trump's order… why shouldn’t the leader of it be held to account?

Because Trump didn't commit any crime. Cheating on one's spouse certainly isn't a crime at all.

I didn’t say cheating was a crime. Just shows how shitty of a dude he is. But paying off his mistress and hiding the payment from legal campaign disclosures is a crime. Trumps attorney has already done time for it. Why shouldn’t Trump?
