In a recent court case overseen by Judge Juan Merchan, the jury was informed about the selection of the foreperson. According to the law, the first juror chosen will automatically assume the role of the foreperson for the duration of the trial.
As Judge Merchan addressed the jury, several jurors instinctively turned their attention towards the individual occupying the first seat in the jury box. This individual, by virtue of being the first juror selected, will be responsible for leading the jury's deliberations and discussions.
