"Trump's Trials Test Americans' Trust in Juries and Prosecutors"

A recent survey shows that nearly 60% of Americans still have faith in juries, higher than any other group in the judicial system. However, when it comes to former President Donald Trump's upcoming trials, a majority of Americans, including Democrats, Republicans, and independents, do not believe the courts will be able to seat impartial jurors. The study also reveals that jurors, who are typically older, wealthier, and more educated, have higher levels of trust in the criminal justice system compared to the general public. While jurors were more likely to trust defense and prosecuting attorneys, a partisan gap emerged when it came to trust in Supreme Court justices. Despite the trust in juries, a majority of Americans do not have confidence that the courts will find jurors willing to decide Trump's cases based on evidence rather than prior beliefs.
