If Trump was indicted, do you think you could make the jury for his trial?

[MarkD]

How would I know whether the court would accept that I could be an impartial juror?
When asked, I would say that I loathe Donald Trump as a person and as the worst president the U.S. has ever had, but also that I firmly believe in being impartial and that I never pre-judge any people who are accused of crimes.

I’m exempt from jury duty

[junior chįmp]

Of course.

[Chips]

Probably not.

No. I supported Trump's impeachment from the day he was inaugurated, and there are a few Atlasians who know who I am or at least who I'm employed by. Even putting that aside, it's a pretty well documented fact on both my Facebook and among the people I associate with in RL that I voted against Trump both times and view him as a bad president.

If Trump's defense counsel has yet to use up all of their allotted peremptory strikes, then I don't imagine that I'd be able to make the jury, given that I'd actually be able to follow along with the attorney's arguments, the presented evidence, the witness' testimony, etc., so the only scenario in which I can make the jury is one where Trump's defense counsel has already used up all of their allotted peremptory strikes by the time at which I'm submitted to voir dire questioning.

In that scenario, I don't imagine that I'd end up being struck for cause either, because while my not being able to politically stand Trump is something which I obviously have no problem admitting, I don't think that being the case would prevent me from nevertheless being able to be impartial during the trial. Given that the standard at hand would obviously be "did the prosecution prove their case that the accused committed the offense with which they've been charged beyond a reasonable doubt?," I'd be there to merely judge the presented arguments, evidence, & testimony, as opposed to the accused's personality aspects &/or the politics thereof with which I may have even been familiar prior to the trial, & I know that I'd be able to separate my personal feelings about Trump from an impartial analysis of everything that's presented by the prosecution & defense. Maybe others couldn't (for example, my mom is such a vehement anti-Trumper that I wouldn't reasonably expect her to serve impartially as a juror in a Trump trial), but that's a separate matter at the end of the day.
