Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhat would a jury trial for Donald J Trump look like?
Would they be sequestered?
Would both sides be ordered to not talk to the press?
Would it be possible to get Trump voters, not necessarily Trump supporters, on the jury? Could they render a fair judgement if they were not part of the "cult"?
Could they order Trump to be silent during his trial?
It's hard to imagine.

I can't even imagine. Main reason I can't imagine him *ever* getting the justice he deserves.

A non biased jury pool would have to be picked from the indigenous tribes of the jungle.

(43,162 posts)Would a Military Tribunal be appropriate? I have no idea. Floated as a trial balloon. Because a civilian jury could be impossible to find neutral either way, and how would you identify any bias since everyone's harboring an opinion?

(111,095 posts)...it would still be the topic of conversations all across America. It would create discussions that had never been discussed before.
People would re-evaluate the meaning of justice and who was above the law?
Over-all, even if found not guilty, it would be a very useful exercise, in my humble opinion.

Stormy? - juror excused
Melania? - juror excused - undependable emotions
We the jury find the defendant DJT not guilty by reason of total jury nullification.

(3,299 posts)no matter what jurors said during voir dire, some who supported trump would claim they didn't, and that they could be objective in evaluating the evidence in court. At least one would get through the jury selection process and keep the jury from reaching a verdict and result in a mistrial.

Because it would force Americans to confront the issue. What type of justice do we have in this country and do we still have a Constitution?
