Jury selection in the Manhattan criminal case against Donald Trump started off slowly, but has since picked up some steam, with multiple jurors seated after day 2 For some lawyers, the jury selection process is the most important stage of the trial. For others it’s a waste of time, an exercise in astrology, and they would take the first 12 people who walk through the door. But no matter how hard his lawyers try, Trump could lose this jury before they are even seated.
If he nods off, or appears to nod off, the jury will notice. On Tuesday, New York state Judge Juan Merchan openly admonished Trump for “muttering” and “gesturing” at a juror in the courtroom. It was unclear what was said, but his behavior was obvious enough to have caught the judge’s eye. And that means everyone else saw it, too. If Trump appears bored, angry or impatient, jurors notice. When he mumbles under his breath, they notice. None of these things are good, either.
