Live Updates: Jury of 12 Is Seated in Trump Criminal Trial​

Twelve New Yorkers have been chosen to decide the Manhattan criminal case against Donald J. Trump, who is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/04/18/nyregion/trump-hush-money-trial

We now have 12 jurors. Two more people have been seated.

“We have our jury,” says Justice Merchan.

Todd Blanche, a defense lawyer, asked for the names of the first three witnesses before proceedings ended for the day. But a prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass, refused to provide them, saying it’s a courtesy they normally extend, but "Mr. Trump has been tweeting about the witnesses.”

Blanche asks what would happen if he could guarantee that his client wouldn’t do so. “I dont think you can make that representation,” Justice Merchan says, sharply.

I generally like Stephen A, but, in this case, he's speaking like a fool. Because someone was, and is running for, president, they shouldn't be tried for engaging in illegal activity? Dude.....really?
