SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 19, 2024 – In the Trump Trial on the fourth day of jury selection, the last of the alternate jurors was selected, and opening statements set for April 22 at 9:30 am.

Justice Juan Merchan followed his admonition to not report on places of employment or accent in a similar vein about a prospective juror rejected due to a prior felony conviction.

 But if that's not reported on, how will the public know? 

 Leaving things vague, the prospective juror served more than two years in a Northeastern state's prison system on drug charges. Still jury duty notices keep arriving. There were tears, an excusal and suggestion the problem could be solved.

 Less sympathetic was a juror who first said he didn't remember posting about the "massive anti-Trump rally" near the United Nations, then said he'd only gone because it was near where he lived. He too was excused. We will have more on this.
