One Week Into His Trial, Donald Trump Is Doing Himself No Favors With Jurors

Slate  

Read our ongoing coverage of Donald Trump’s first criminal trial here. Donald Trump’s first criminal trial sped along faster than expected this past week, with a full slate of 12 jurors and six alternates seated by Friday. Mark Joseph Stern: Let’s start with a piece that Dahlia Lithwick wrote with Anat Shenker-Osorio contesting the misguided commentary that assumes this trial won’t sway many voters in one direction or the other. Judge Merchan said, “put it a pin in that.” I’ve seen conservative Trump defenders say “that’s insane,” but we should remind people that this is how criminal trials work: The defendant does not get to pick and choose which calendar days he or she attends. Judge Merchan was like, “I don’t think it’s going to impact this case, and also, no, you can’t go.” He’s very terse, and will sometimes have a bit of pondering in his responses, but then when he decides something, it’s just boom, on to the next issue.
