What we know so far about the jurors in Trump's New York hush money trial

Source: Washington Post

Juror #B400
This juror gets his news from the New York Times, the Daily Mail, as well as “some” Fox News and MSNBC.
“I’ve heard some of them,” the juror said about Trump’s other cases.
He hails from Ireland but now lives in West Harlem and works in sales. He’s married and has no children. In his spare time, he enjoys doing anything outdoorsy.


Juror #B280
This juror is a native New Yorker and has lived on the Upper East Side for the past three years. She said she did not really have an opinion about Trump and that “no one is above the law."
"I didn’t even know I was walking into this,” she said.
She gets her news from the New York Times, CNN, Google, and has a Facebook account. She’s been an oncology nurse for 15 years, is not married and has no children, but lives with her fiancé.


Juror #B381
This juror said he doesn’t need to be a mind reader to determine intent.
"I am actually not super familiar with the other charges. I don’t really follow the news that closely -- a little embarrassing to say,” he said.
He is a “young to middle-aged” man who works as a corporate lawyer and lives in Chelsea. He’s unmarried and says he reads the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. In middle school he enjoyed watching “The Apprentice.”

Not a matter of questioning them - we all know that's necessary. Probatim Apr 16 #4
The questioning is public. It occurs before the Judge, public visitors and the reporting press. brooklynite Apr 16 #5

It's a matter of making this information public at the start of one of the biggest trials in history.

Its also a part of the available Court record.

Personal details are omitted. Their profiles are on the record.

FWIW - the exact same process occurred in the Civl Fraud trial with AG James. Nobody on the Jury was threatened.

Thanks for the info.
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell is describing a few more of the jurors.
