Might be more than one in there. They ask you all sorts of questions to see if you would be biased, most people would be truthful but there's a certain type of person who doesn't have any qualms about lying and it's the same type that reevers the defendant here.
That's what the backups are for. You can have a hung jury but the others can boot one person out. It's happened on a jury my wife was on and then they just brought in the backup and continued as normal
No shit? I didn't know they could do that. I thought backups were only for if someone got sick or something.
Yeah, even once deliberation starts if it's clear you're just in there not deliberating in good faith they'll tell the judge and they can boot you and assign an alternate.
They were supposed to select jurors based of no allegiance to the defendant.
In an ideal world, yup
How soon before all of them get doxxed?
I've got a spot bet on at least three of them being accused of pedophile conspiracies before the case is done
One already has, sort of anyway. Her occupation, city of residence, and employer were shared on TV and she received phone calls right after asking if she was on the jury. Yesterday she asked to be excused out of fear for her safety.
Literally talks about it already happening in the article.
What the fuck
Jessie Waters on Faux News, it should be noted
That was what made me suggest the rest will. And it will happen in his other cases too. There is a Russian hacker army at the ready.
The judge has since specifically prohibited press from disclosing employer information, so it seems les s likely.
Lol, you think the judge issuing a stern warning will stop it? I bet it's Trump's legal team leaking the info.
Wouldn't be the first New York Don to leverage jury intimidation as a court strategy
Not like some of those press people are on trumps side or anything. sideyes fox,
Not even Russian hackers, just bored MAGAts who know how to work a few websites. If you know a few key pieces of information, you can find pretty much anyone in the US with relative ease.
They can't get the names of who is actually on the jury that way. That will take Putin.
That will take Putin.
Why do people assume a guy on the opposite side of the world has more leverage than the majority party of the country the case is happening in?
I swear to God, you wouldn't even know the GOP base exists the way people talk
I assume "a guy on the opposite side of the world" has a huge hacker army at his disposal.
Either Russian software and networking IT folks are a generation ahead of their American peers, our army of hackers (ie, the NSA - the world's largest employer of Mathematician PhDs) is completely asleep at the switch, or the call is coming from inside the house.
If that's your criterion, yes. They are asleep at the switch these days.

TIL, Putin is Chinese and the Southern District of New York jury pool is a pipeline company.
So you're saying the NSA could definitely catch Russian hackers hacking into the New York State criminal justice system computers but not catch Chinese hackers hacking into our national infrastructure?
Sounds like the NSA isn't very good at its job.
So you’re saying the NSA could definitely catch Russian hackers hacking into the New York State criminal justice system
I'm saying that if I had to put money down on who will be outing a member of the Trump jury on my bingo card, I'd put a lot more dollars on "MAGA New Yorker who works at the New York State criminal justice office" than "Guy with a laptop in Moscow".
You don't need Russian hackers when Trump is a Russian asset.
I mean, you really don't need the names, if you can narrow it down to say, every 34 year old black woman working at theaters in Detroit that's that's maybe 20 people tops and likely closer to 5. You could easily harass 5-20 locals on your own and MAGA likes it's flock mentality. If they're MAGA they'll just join in, if they're not they're dangerous antifa terrorists and it's god trumps divine order to ruin their lives.
Won't take long for the media to start slandering them I'm sure.
But in all seriousness, I hope they are being given some measure of protection considering how rabid Trumps supporters get.
Please keep arms and legs inside at all times
