  1. Jury Duty: Theatre You Cannot Leave

    The envelope looks like a bill and behaves like a warrant. It arrives in the plain mail between a seed catalog and a credit offer, your name printed the way only a government database can print it, and inside is a summons: report to the courthouse on a Monday in March, at half past eight in the morning, prepared to stay. You did not audition for this production. You signed no contract, negotiated no fee, read no script. The paper tells you what happens if you ignore it, and what happens is contempt: a fine, a cell, or both. Of all the performances running in America, this is the only one that conscripts its audience. By the end of the week you may be deciding whether a stranger loses liberty, money, children, or, in the courtrooms that still ask the question, life. The republic keeps one room in which that decision belongs to twelve people who did not volunteer that morning, and every seat in that room is filled by force of law. […]

  8. The Manhattan DA investigator #MichaelCohen was texting, Jeremy Rosenberg, was reportedly taken off the case after becoming close w/Cohen. #Blanche asks Cohen about the texts, but Prosecutor Susan #Hoffinger asked for a mid-cross #VoirDire, to question Cohen about the #evidence.

    When she established that the texts had been taken out of context, she called for a #sidebar. Her objection was sustained, so Blanche is prevented from doing whatever he was trying to do.

  13. #Trump will likely be pleased w/Necheles's #VoirDire. She questioned the #credibility of those who are expected to testify against Trump, & made a reference to #MichaelCohen, suggesting that some #witnesses might want to seek “revenge” (the title of a Cohen books) on Trump. Cohen’s book is specifically named on the questionnaire.

    Trump gives the hairy eyeball to jurors when Necheles suggests that a witness may be lying if they change the details of their story.

  18. “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.

  23. #Merchan #TrumpTrial resumed after lunch.

    Josh Steinglass, a Manhattan DA, starts prosecution’s #VoirDire, going over much of what he said to prospective jurors on Tues, incl’g that the case is about whether #Trump broke the #law.

    At first, the new group of 18 jurors was quiet. But then, one said that she thought about it during lunch, & she is "worried that I know too much" about the case.

    He asks her if she's worried about her ability to put her knowledge aside & she says that she is.

    The list of 42 questions that the prospective jurors are being asked to answer are listed in this gift article.

    My guess is that would be "excused" from jury service based on my answer to at least 10 of the questions. LOL! 🤷‍♂️
