"Unpredictable Jury Selection and Strange Twists: Inside Trump's Trial"

The jury selection process for Donald Trump's criminal trial involves lawyers scrutinizing potential jurors' social media posts for biases or extreme views, with both sides aiming to secure a competent and potentially favorable jury. Despite efforts to uncover hidden biases, experts acknowledge the limitations in selecting jurors and emphasize the importance of impartiality. The process has led to the dismissal of potential jurors based on their social media activity, with both the defense and prosecution using their limited strikes to remove individuals they deem unsuitable. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the limited number of strikes, while the selection process remains a challenging and unpredictable aspect of the trial for attorneys.
