Jury selection in the sham Marxist-style case against President Donald J. Trump in the state of New York has been completed.  The jury pool was limited to the island of Manhattan, which is one of the “bluest” areas in the entire US.

Voir Dire

Voir Dire, literally translated “to speak the truth,” is the legal process where prospective jurors are questioned to assess whether they can be fair and impartial, free from any underlying biases, and rely only on the facts presented by the prosecution and defense in court. 

Last week, a block of ninety-six-(96) people were brought before the court. Out of that pool, exactly half – forty-eight-(48) stated that they would not be able to be either fair or impartial and were immediately dismissed. The remaining 48 underwent the voir dire process of further questioning by both sides. Twelve-(12) jurors and six-(6) alternates were selected and agreed upon by both legal teams.
