Former Harvey Weinstein defense attorney Arthur Aidala highlighted the importance of examining prospective jurors' social media activity to identify strong views or underlying motives. By analyzing posts like vacation pictures and interests, attorneys can assess potential biases.
"At least with Trump, there may be like 20% of the people who actually voted for him," Aidala shared during discussions, contrasting the widespread opposition Harvey Weinstein faced. This variation in support levels can impact the jury selection process.
Both parties' lawyers in the trial of former President Trump are likely to seek jurors with a limited understanding of the accused beyond his presidency. This approach aims to ensure impartiality and reduce potential biases among the selected jurors.
Examining prospective jurors' media consumption habits and connections to the Trump family will be crucial in identifying any biases. This thorough vetting process is anticipated during the jury selection for the high-profile trial.
