During former President Donald Trump’s trial involving Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’, a potential juror was excused after admitting to impartiality concerns upon being sworn in by Judge Juan Merchan.
A nurse, among the seven selected jurors, revealed her inability to remain unbiased due to the influence from media reports and inquiries from friends and family.
“Yesterday alone, I had friends and family push things to me,” she revealed to the court. Expressing a stark acknowledgment of her compromised position, she stated, “I don’t think at this point that I can be fair and unbiased.”
Following the incident, Judge Merchan criticized the mainstream media for overexposing juror information.
He declared that the workplaces of potential jurors would no longer be made public and directed the media to avoid commenting on jurors’ physical appearances.

During the day’s events, prosecutors raised issues about a juror connected to a 1990s corruption case, causing a pause in determining their involvement until they could be interviewed directly.

On Thursday, efforts to find “unbiased” jurors persisted as 96 Manhattan residents arrived at the courtroom.

Out of this group, 48 individuals were promptly excused for showing prejudice against the ex-president. Nine others were dismissed for reasons not disclosed.

Each side in the case is allowed 10 peremptory challenges, enabling them to excuse a potential juror without explanation, and there are an unlimited number of “for cause” challenges, which call for a person to be excused if there’s a clear conflict. The judge must sign off on the latter.

With a new batch of 96 Manhattanites being considered Thursday, each side has four peremptory challenges remaining. They will also have five more peremptory challenges when choosing the six alternates.

On Monday, a potential juror was questioned after Trump’s lawyers found out she had posted a celebratory video in support of Biden in 2020.

“You had to get in the car to spread the honking cheer. it’s a full on dance party at 96th street,” the potential juror’s caption read according to Trump attorney Todd Blanche.

Judge Merchan accused President Trump of allegedly gesturing and audibly speaking towards the potential juror while she was being questioned about her pro-Biden social media post, which the judge deemed as an attempt to intimidate the juror.

I won’t tolerate that. I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom. I want to make that crystal clear,” Judge Merchan said.

The left-wing, pro-Biden juror claimed she is capable of being impartial.

“I very, very strongly believe that regardless of my thoughts about anyone or anything political, feelings or convictions, that the job of a juror is to understand the facts of a trial and to be the judge of those facts,” the juror said, according to CNN.

Judge Merchan stated that the juror with left-wing views provided “reasonable explanations” for her pro-Biden Facebook videos and denied a request from Trump’s lawyers to remove her from the jury pool.

  • There are three things we should know just from where this FARCE called a Trial is taking place. First the DA is a DEMOCRAP and a HARD CORE one at that. Second is that the charges are FALSE and well past the statute of limitations. Lastly those sitting in on the jury as well as the Bench are HOSTILE to President Trump. Just look at the FARCE Democraps called a Fraud Trial. The Judge in that case declared President Trump guilty before the Trial even started.

  • The only question we should be asking ourselves is are we really going to let these pos liberals illegally jail Trump without a fight?? So far our patriot-spines have been very weak on EVERY unconstitutional move these Marxist have thrown at us. We coward to the COVID bs, we coward to a stolen election, we coward to letting our country be invaded by illegal aliens at an unstainable rate and yet, we do NOTHING!! We have the numbers and knowledge how to stop it anytime we want but choose to let it grow worse every day because as a whole, we are f’n cowards!

    • WELL SAID DR.BBA, I’ve been calling for a Civil War for the last two years and nothing happens. Under the 2nd Amendment that is given to We The People to end Tyranny should have been taken place two years ago instead Americans have allowed the Communist Democrats to push us around while giving the finger to America..
      We have become 2nd class Citizens and all the Illegals come first at our expense, Millions are still asleep and simply ignore the fact that the Communist are targeting Americans and soon America will be run by Dictatorship.. My guess is Americans are fine with it.

  • Shoot that Communist Judge Merchan.!!
    The Juror is absolutely bias and hates President Trump ad that Communist bias Judge allows her to remain on.!
    Bullshit.!!!
    It’s not a fair trial at all and that POS Attorney Michael Cohen is not a credible witness…
    New York city is run by Communist, Anti-Constitution, Anti-American Judges and AG’s, I hope New York burns down and all businesses shut down and move to a better State.
    FUC* YOU NEW YORK.!!!!

  • This whole sh*t show is making me sick. Why is no one in the republican party stepping up and doing something to stop this nonsense? What is it I am missing?

  • It just tells you how corrupt and uneducated the people of NY are. They are so fiercely communist in the City alone, that it is unbelievable that these people are so uneducated about the relatives of voting and thinking like a communist mentality. If China or Russia were to take over New York, they would be the first to complain.
