During the jury selection process for the trial involving Michael Cohen, a potential juror was questioned by Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger regarding his ability to remain impartial despite having friends who have committed crimes. The juror expressed that while he may have friends who have engaged in criminal activities, he would not let that influence his judgment of Cohen's testimony.
When asked if hearing from a witness like Cohen, who has also committed crimes, would affect his ability to keep an open mind, the potential juror responded that he would listen to Cohen based on what he says without preconceived notions. He further emphasized his experience as a former corrections officer in New York City, stating that he has encountered various stories and would not be swayed by Cohen's criminal background.
