The first criminal case is almost ready to be heard now in New York. Jury selection is happening, and the trial will start when it is complete. Would you be willing to be a Juror?
Virtually every juror that was interviewed said they got their news from the New York Times and Google which is very anti trump. One juror said they get their news from MSNBC which is openly far left.
It’s really gross that this is happening in New York City which is a deep blue state. Yes Trump himself is a New Yorker and former Democrat. But that makes liberal New Yorkers only hate him even more.
If Trump gets convicted and sentenced to jail time this is going to make the country look really bad. I know leftists are just giddy and salivating at that happening but the blowback from disgusting partisan law fare is going to tear this country apart.
Trump actually let Hillary Clinton off the hook when he was in office because he knew it looks bad to prosecute former/existing political opposition. But democrats will stop at nothing to try to win.
And this case is 100% bullshit. The only case that had any weight to it was the Florida mishandling of classified documents. But Biden did the exact same thing as he was let off ”for being too old and forgetful to en convicted by a grand jury”. And he’s the sitting f*cking president.
yes, but I might go to jail for paying the judge to end the trial and stop wasting our money.
Also might get in trouble asking everyone in the courtroom if they ever solicited a prostitute, had X before marriage, or violated other tenants of the Bible... which used to be on the desk in that room but was thrown out. By time I'm done talking, they wouldn't want me there...
I wouldn't want to do it, but if called would.
Why don't they just get some of the illegal... I mean undocumented visitors to do the job, they could use some work and have less opinions than most. Pick some of those X Venezualian prisoners.
No. If he's convicted you'll be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life. Even worse if he becomes president you know he'll take revenge.
We should have a dead pool for the jurors.
Sure, I'd vote to convict. I'm definitely biased and I'm not paid to be impartial. What's the worst that his supporters will do, kill me? I'm suicidal, I don't give a shit

Yes I would. But I couldn’t be impartial. This case is BS and Alvin Bragg is a major scumbag. Bragg has let numerous people who committed serious crimes back on the streets who then have committed more crimes including murder. Bragg is directly responsible.
And yet he will take Trump to court over a book keeping violation (in Bragg’s mind) that the statute of limitations had ran out on, is a misdemeanor at best.
This is political and yes I would be on the jury and I would find Trump “NOT GUILTY”.
And for the asker of this question never be afraid of telling the truth. If we let fear silence us then we as a people have lost.
I don't like the idea of being a juror, but if called I would do it and do it based on the evidence provided in the courtroom—not what I've seen online.
I have a feeling I would be dismissed though, because I'm legally one of the people he's promised to make life a lot harder for if he gets reelected.
Nope, I’d be dismissed so quick.
I’d want Trump to be thrown in jail for the rest of his life. Trump had Jeffrey Epstein killed in jail for even the chance of ratting on him. It’s disgusting how the far right defend a child rapist who will be a convicted felon and vote for him to be the president.
Firstly I doubt that a foreign national such as myself would be allowed to serve on the jury. Secondly the judge asks you if you can act as an IMPARTIAL juror, which hand on heart I couldn't agree to. No one who regularly reads my comments will be surprised.
Sure. I'm good at compartmentalizing information and my disgust for Trump is perhaps only outmatched by my disgust for prosecutors. So in fact it is one of the few trials I would view with the hope the protection nails it but also would cheerfully throw it in their face if I found any missteps.
Yes I would. Jury duty is one of the key duties of any citizen. I've served on a few juries in teh past... always try to be open-minded and listen to the evidence presented.
You wouldn't be selected anyways you are astoundingly biased like most of the leftists on the matter. I would if called but if not called no. Reality is that I would need hard evidence of crimes not circumstantial evidence to determine guilt beyond reasonable doubt. That is what is needed from a juror and thus far I have seen few people who are able to remain impartial and focus on the facts
No and now I'm super thankful I didn't sign up to vote here in NY. I'm not risking having jury duty especially for trump😣
Yes. However I would admit my bias in favor of him and if they fit whatever reason kept me (0% chance with these crazy lib judges) I'd do my best to be impartial and listen to facts, not hearsay and not the semantics our modern society thinks qualifies law.
It’s kind of unbelievable he couldn’t get a change of venue. He couldn’t possibly get a fair trial in New York. With all the preceding press, a truly impartial jury might be entirely impossible anyway.
Willing? ABSO-FUCKIN-LUTELY I can give you my vote now: Guilty! I'm in NYC and have seen this prick operate with impunity for 35+ years. He's a criminal. End of story.
That's not likely to happen as I no longer live in the US, but I still lived in the US and I was called for duty on that jury I doubt that I'd make it through the Voir dire as the biased prosecution would do their utmost to remove me from the jury as I'm a "free thinker" and would not likely to follow their narrative.
I'd show up, write guilty on a card and say turn it over the last day the jury's deliberating.
If they saw my GaG responses they’d throw me off for being too opinionated so it’s a non question for me. 😂😂😂
Willing? Absolutely! But I'm biased against him so I cannot.
We're nearing a civil more and more with his rabid fan base thirsty for blood.
I would. I can separate my personal feelings from the case and vote based on the evidence provided.
Yes I absolutely would so I could nullify the jury and cause a mistrial. This whole thing is blatant persecution of a political opponent, straight up third world dictator shit.
Sure, and I am not biased at all.
Trump 2024!!!
