Better now than later.

I put down on the questionnaire that I could not be impartial.

My reasoning was one of my sisters was sexually assaulted. This was after then Gov. Ronald Reagan closed down the mental hospitals in California for which the person had been a patient of.

I was excused.

i believe it’s a felony.

A charge of tearing down political posters was almost certainly not a felony and in many states when asked if you had been convicted of a "crime", misdemeanors and offenses lower than a felony would not be considered a "crime".

Theft and Vandalism Laws Vary by State

States take slightly different approaches to how they penalize theft and vandalism of political yard signs, but most states treat the conduct as a misdemeanor. Even though misdemeanors are minor offenses, they do carry serious consequences that can multiply based on the number of signs involved.

Research the misdemeanor laws in your state to find out the penalty that could apply. Misdemeanors often carry up to a $1,000 fine and up to 90 days or even a year in jail. In states like New York, if the property stolen or damaged was worth more than $1,000, the offender could be charged with a felony.

Criminal trespass, which refers to intentionally entering someone else's private property without their permission, is also often treated as a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and up to 90 days or a year in jail.

Increased theft and vandalism of political signs has prompted some property owners to attempt to catch trespassers by installing cameras such as security cameras, smart video doorbells, or trail cams. The footage is being used to shame people online and also helps law enforcement track down offenders.

Being charged with any crime, including a misdemeanor, can negatively affect your life, so anyone charged with stealing or defacing political lawn signs should get advice from a criminal defense lawyer.

And no mention of violating the gag order on social media

How, exactly, has Judge Merchan "lost control"? There is a motion pending for the imposition of sanctions on Trump for violating the gag order. Merchan has scheduled a hearing. BTW, none of those alleged violations occurred in the courtroom.

Have you ever been a judge? Tried a case? Watched a judge at work behind the scenes? He's doing a very good job, especially considering what he's stuck with.

Than later.
