Donald J Trump: Rip Van Winkle edition

[econophile]

The two newly empaneled jurors are both men.

• Juror 2 is an investment banker who has a Master’s degree. He lives with his wife and does not have any kids. He follows Trump’s TruthSocial posts and Michael Cohen on X/Twitter. He said he’s followed Trump since he became president, “Generally because it was a news item when he would put a tweet out so good to be aware of that.” The juror has also read Trump’s book, “The Art of the Deal.”
• Juror 4 is a security engineer who is married and has three kids. He has a high school diploma. He doesn’t have social media and reads a “smattering” of the news organizations named in the questionnaire.

The only people that follow Trump on Truth Social are lunatics like us, and the other kind of lunatic.

The Art of the Deal read is concerning but still following Cohen feels like a subtle nod to the prosecution to save their strikes, he’s on our side.

You could go through The Art of the Deal cover to cover and still not have read anything written by Trump

I’m not comfortable with either of these two

[NotBruceZ]

Sounds like opening arguments on Monday is a reasonable possibility.

A retired wealth manager, a speech therapist and a retail employee. What we know about 3 more jurors

Juror 8: A retired wealth manager who is married with two kids. The man, whose hobbies include fly fishing and yoga, said he hears things from people and he knows about Trump but, “I’m more interested in my hobbies that I do.

Juror 9: This juror is a speech therapist with a Master’s degree. She’s not married and lives alone. During voir dire the juror said, “He was our president, everyone knows who he is."

"When he was president, everyone was kind of talking about politics,” said the juror. When asked by Trump attorney Susan Necheles if she’d feel pressured by others, she said “Not at all.” She said she would make sure not to talk about the case with anybody.

Juror 10: He works for a retailer and says he doesn’t really follow the news. He does, however, listen to podcasts on behavior psychology. “It’s my little hobby there,” he said during jury selection. He was born and raised in Ohio, is unmarried and lives with another adult roommate. He says he loves to spend time outdoors and with animals.

Nobody that does yoga is pro trump right?

He can’t be trusted and the judge can’t punish him for violating such a promise.

Trump’s team argued for juror who said former president “seems very selfish” to be dismissed

Juror 11: She was seated on the jury after Judge Juan Merchan denied the Trump team’s challenge for cause. The former president’s lawyers argued she should be dismissed because she said she does not like his “persona.”

During voir dire, she said:

“He just seems very selfish and self-serving so I don’t really appreciate that in any public servant, so I don’t know him as a person; so I don’t’ know how he is in terms of his integrity. It’s just not my cup of tea."

The juror works for a multinational apparel company. She’s not a native New Yorker, not married and doesn’t have kids. She said she doesn’t really follow the news but occasionally follows headlines and reads industry-specific publications.

Juror 12: The final juror seated on the main panel is a physical therapist. She has a doctorate degree in physical therapy. She reads The New York Times, USA Today and CNN. She is married and has no children.

If Trump can be creative, maybe the judge can too. Order a psychiatric evaluation or something.
