For this episode of
Trump's Trials, we hand the mic over to
Consider This.
On Monday, former President Donald Trump will enter a Manhattan courtroom for his first criminal trial. But before a verdict can be rendered a jury must be selected. And for Trump's legal team that is going to be a challenge.
A small number of attorneys have faced a similar challenge — how do you select an impartial jury when your client is famous?
Host Scott Detrow speaks with attorney Camille Vasquez for insight into the art of jury selection in such a case. She represented Johnny Depp in his defamation suit against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
Topics include:
- Jury selection
- Jury questionnaire
- Questioning potential jurors
- What to look for in a juror
