The Charade of the Trumps Trial Continues with Bias Judge and Jury

According to reports, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has allowed a juror, who reportedly celebrated former President Donald Trump‘s loss in the 2020 election on social media, to remain in the jury pool.

Trump‘s highly unusual trial commenced on Monday with the commencement of jury selection, marking the first day of a process anticipated to last up to two weeks and potentially extend until June.

During Tuesday’s jury selection proceedings, Trump‘s defense attorneys sought to disqualify a potential juror due to her apparent celebration of Trump‘s defeat in 2020, as reported by Fox News.

“They attempted to exercise a peremptory challenge to remove the juror on the basis that she claimed impartiality but had social media posts allegedly indicating her celebration of Trump‘s loss in 2020,” Trace Gallagher reported. “However, the judge ruled against this, stating that she could indeed remain impartial and thus allowed her to remain.”

As of Tuesday, six jurors had been selected, with six more potential jurors still required to complete the jury panel.
