The process of picking these 12 lucky jurors is like trying to find the perfect slice of pizza in a whole pie. First, Judge Juan Merchan will give the potential jurors the rundown on the case and send any folks packing who can’t be impartial. Then come the questions! Have you heard of Trump? What do you think of Trump? Do you belong to any groups that want to make America great again or maybe not so great again? It’s like a game of 20 Questions, but with higher stakes.
But wait, there’s more! The defense and prosecutors also get to give the boot to any potential jurors they think might not be rooting for their team. It’s like dodgeball, but instead of getting hit with a ball, you’re getting hit with questions and judgment. And just like a game of dodgeball, the attorneys only have a few chances to pick their players before time runs out.
This whole song and dance could take a hot minute, possibly even weeks. It’s like waiting in line for the newest roller coaster at the theme park. You’ll get there eventually, but it’s going to be a long, sweaty journey. But hey, it’s all worth it for a front-row seat to the trial of the century, right?
So, buckle up, folks, because the Trump hush money trial is about to become the hottest show in town. And who doesn’t love a good drama-filled trial to keep things interesting? Let the games begin!
