I wonder what percentage of jurors were dismissed by the defense. Seems like a better indicator of Trump’s popularity than voting records. This process is much closer to a “random selection” than voluntary respondents at the polls.
Keep in mind that these jurors are from NYC. In 2020, Manhattan voted for Biden 86.7% and Trump 12.3% and that's certainly not representative of nationwide popularity.
Yes, understood. Any analysis would need to referenced against the same population as the jury selection pool to be relevant. Though the pool itself may not be cleanly from within the NYC limits, depending on the court jurisdiction. Given the population density of NYC though, it probably biases source of jurors no matter what.
Any decent statistician would account for these variables.
The jury pool is 100% from NYC, Manhattan even. Notice how these people have detailed opinions on Trump from before 2015.
These are his neighbors on the island who know him best. And it's fitting that they get to judge him in this case. They are going to lock him up and throw away the key as hard as is possible with this case.
Juror of peers and all.
Not only Sith, juries work in absolutes.
It only takes one holdout to scuttle the whole thing.

Yea but functionally, each attempt at the trial will be weaker and push the prosecutors to lessen the sentence to get the conviction. I don’t know any cases that survived 2
Well all of them that they could, they ran out of strikes. Because he’s a demented rapist fraud who tried to carry out a coup just three years ago. Many people hate his fucking guts, more and more.
