During today's court proceedings, Judge Juan Merchan announced that the questioning of potential jurors is ongoing in the trial at hand. Currently, there are 18 potential jurors in the jury box being questioned, with an additional 16 individuals still in the room as part of the first jury pool.
According to Judge Merchan, another panel of potential jurors will be brought in tomorrow to continue the selection process. The court session is expected to continue until 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today.
The process of selecting a jury is a crucial step in any trial, as the individuals chosen will play a key role in determining the outcome of the case. Potential jurors are questioned to ensure that they can be impartial and fair in their judgment of the evidence presented during the trial.
As the proceedings continue, both the prosecution and the defense will have the opportunity to exercise their right to challenge potential jurors they believe may be biased or unfit to serve on the jury. This process aims to select a jury that is unbiased and capable of reaching a fair verdict based on the facts presented in court.
Stay tuned for further updates on the ongoing trial as the jury selection process unfolds and the trial progresses.
