#SebastianGorka, Trump’s fmr White House *adviser*, walks in w/ a silver case bearing what appears to be a presidential seal.

With his legal team & Secret Service agents in the mix, #Trump’s group numbers more than two dozen. #WitnessIntimidation #JuryTampering

#RobertCostello is on the stand.
Justice Merchan reminds him that he’s under oath.

#Hoffinger, one of the prosecution’s leaders, is expected to continue her cross-examination of Costello.

Lawyers indicated that their opening statements will take a little more than an hour combined. Justice Juan #Merchan also noted that one #juror reached out before court resumed to express nervousness about the media attention surrounding the case, but the judge added that the juror is still here.

#Trump's lawyer, Susan Necheles, confronted many prospective #jurors about their #socialmedia activity, clearly the lawyers know things about them, a lot of which was not stuff they were asked in open court. They clearly have people doing deep dives on these people. It’d be pretty hard to not have concerns that their identities will be *leaked*

#criminal #law #JurySelection #intimidation #harassment #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial

The latter prospective juror's voice reportedly shook as she basically insulted Trump. She says of his personality: “It's not my cup of tea”

[I’d probably be less diplomatic]

#Trump is staring at her from the defense table.

#criminal #law #JurySelection #intimidation #harassment #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial

Necheles is all but cross-examining certain prospective jurors about their #socialmedia posts & #personal info.

One juror said she fiercely disagrees w/ #Trump politically but has no feelings personally.

Necheles asked if the prospective juror's husband had written a ‘book opinion’ about Trump. The juror said that her husband does write book reviews.

(Sheesh)

“We’re going to ask you to be patient as we walk you through all those documents in what sometimes may seem like excruciating detail.”

The potential jurors, called on individually by Steinglass, said they could do that.

#Trump is reportedly staring intently at the jury box as the #VoirDire goes on. He (again) shakes his head as Steinglass references someone being “criminally liable” for the acts of others.

#TrumpTrial #jurors’ concerns

#JurySelection began w/a sworn in juror getting dismissed over doxxing concerns.

“I definitely have concerns now. One of them especially being the aspects of my identity have already been out there in public. Yesterday alone I had friends, colleagues & family push things to my phone regarding questioning my identity as a juror.”

Jury question 23:
"Without telling"us the name(s), do you take any medication that would
prevent you from being able to concentrate or pay attention during the
proceedings or during the deliberations?"

With Trump repeatedly falling asleep shouldn't be answering this too?

If you’re curious here’s the jury questionnaire:

#Trump #criminal #law #JurySelection #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial

recap/summary:

A total of 7 jurors had been seated on Tues.
2 of the 7 have now been dismissed. No one yet has been newly selected.

So we are down to just 5 seated jurors.

Lawyers on both sides of the case must now replace the 2 — & find several more.

But >½ of a fresh group of 96 prospective jurors were dismissed almost immediately, including 48 who indicated that they did not believe they could be fair & impartial.

#Trump #criminal #law #JurySelection #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial

In a brief interview outside the courtroom, #juror4 who was just dismissed declined to give his name & said he didn’t want to answer questions. But nodded when asked if he thought he could be unbiased & shook his head when asked if he felt at all intimidated in the courtroom.

Asked if he thought he should have been dismissed, he gave a one-word answer: “Nope.”

#Trump #criminal #law #JurySelection #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial

There was a long sidebar, #Trump was alone & quiet at the defense table, as the lawyers determined the juror’s fate.

They brought #juror4 back in.

The juror spoke to the lawyers. If he were to remain on the jury, the lawyers will know this juror better than they know any others, due to all of this interaction.

Merchan tapped the microphone then stated he was excusing juror 4.

Trump reportedly looked annoyed at the decision.

#criminal #law #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial

We are down to 6 jurors, & apparently waiting to hear from another, juror 4. The judge is addressing the #NewsMedia, saying there is a reason #reporters are taking measures to keep the #jury #anonymous.

It “kind of defeats the purpose of that" when so much information is #publicized about them.

I tweeted to Lisa Rubin
"I'm worried that the information given about prospective jurors will make them easy for Trump supporters to find them & threaten them. Could you talk about how Law Enforcement prepares for them getting discovered & being threatened? Does it then become jury tampering?"

Prosecuters allege wealthy convicted murderer "has been instigating “illegal conduct” via jailhouse telephone calls with her family and say her legal team has attempted to tamper with the jurors who convicted her. "

"In a motion filed Thursday, the prosecutors alleged that a juror had come forward to complain that despite jurors being told that their identities were protected, a private investigator working for Grossman had attempted to question him outside his home about how the jury reached its verdict. "

…One reason for the #Georgia rule requiring the release of the #jurors’ names, said Michael Mears, a professor at John Marshall #Law School in Atlanta, is to give defense #lawyers a tiny window into the proceedings — letting them check, for instance, whether any of the jurors should have been excluded because they were convicted felons or resided outside the county.

(Umm, isn’t that what voir dire is for?)

The FCSO said in a statement that it was aware of online #threats against #GrandJurors & was working w/other agencies to track down their origin. It did not answer inquiries about whether any #jurors had reported #harassment.

…Media Matters… collected other messages posted on one online board that included threats of #violence against the jurors & called the list of their names & addresses a “hit list.”

#Trump #Criminal #Law #JuryTampering #DomesticTerror #Security

The juror’s names are listed early in the sprawling 98-page #indictment, as required in #Georgia, making the state an outlier among federal & state court systems.

Now some of those #jurors have had their faces, social media profiles & possible addresses & phone numbers shared on internet sites, in some cases w/the suggestion that they should be harassed — though it was unclear on Thurs if anyone had followed up on those suggestions.

The #FultonCounty Sheriff’s Office said Thurs that it was investigating online threats against the grand #jurors who voted this week to #indict Trump & 18 others, accusing them of #conspiring to overturn Georgia’s #2020election results.

Among the restrictions the prosecutors are requesting is a rule barring Trump’s lawyers from providing copies to #Trump of #discovery materials deemed “sensitive,” which include grand #jury materials & #witness interviews. TFG is allowed to be shown such materials, under the rules proposed by the prosecutors, however, he would be barred from taking down any personal identifying info from the documents.

“All the proposed order seeks to prevent is the #improper #dissemination or use of #discovery materials, including to the public. Such a restriction is particularly important in this case because the defendant has previously issued public statements on social media regarding #witnesses, #judges, #attorneys, & others associated w/ #legal matters pending against him.…”

In a court filing just before 10PM Fri, #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith’s team alerted Judge Tanya S. #Chutkan about the post in which #Trump “specifically or by implication” threatened those involved in his DC #criminal case.
