On April 15, several hundred New Yorkers will be scrutinized by prosecutors and defense attorneys to select the jury for the first criminal trial of a former American president, Donald J. Trump. Potential jurors will be probed for political biases, opinions about law enforcement, and hidden agendas.
Seating the jury and alternates for the trial could take over two weeks, with questions delving into volunteership for or against Mr. Trump, education, families, news sources, and the ability to be fair. Defense attorney Arthur Aidala emphasized the critical importance of jury selection in such high-profile cases.
