I vetted myself as a potential juror—and even though I despise the ex-president, I could fairly sit in judgment of his alleged crimes.
even possible? If 12 such people even exist, I wouldn’t trust them to sit on a toilet, let alone a jury.
In this case, the facts of the case seem relatively straightforward: Guy has a one-night stand with a woman, then tries to pay her off when said “guy” decides to run for president. I don’t think those facts are in any doubt, despite the fact that Trump, absurdly, continues to deny any involvement with the woman in question.All you gotta do is show me the law in question, and let me figure out whether he broke it. My personal animus towards the defendant is irrelevant.
Those of us in the national prospective jury pool don’t generally share such beliefs. Instead we still cling to the somewhat quaint notion that all Americans are equal under the law.“Could I set aside my own somewhat biased feelings regarding the defendant to ensure that he gets a fair trial? I think I could.”
We don’t besmirch the judge or the judge’s family. We don’t insult the DA or the prosecutor. We don’t send out our minions to plead our case on friendly news networks. There’s no need to issue gag orders to us because there is no danger that any of our friends will take it upon themselves to harm anybody involved in the proceedings.
