Catherine Christian was an assistant district attorney in the New York County District Attorney’s Office for 30 years serving in several supervisory positions. She was not involved in the Trump investigations.
Because O.J. Simpson died four days before former President Donald Trump stands trial in Manhattan on Monday, and because this prosecution is being called the trial of the century just like Simpson’s trial was, it’s tempting to reduce the Trump trial to a tabloid headline. Can’t you picture it? “The President, the Porn Star, the Playboy Model, the Door Man and the Fixer.” But prosecutors see the first criminal prosecution of a former U.S.
, where criminal cases are never even tried. Trump’s trial, then, will take place in a courtroom without cameras in a building too depressing-looking for prime-time TV, and it will begin with a long, arduous process of selecting a jury. It took two weeks to seat a jury for the 2020 Harvey Weinstein rape trial, which took place in that same building. And I’d expect the jury selection process for Trump to take at least as long.
