Two jurors who had been selected for Donald J. Trumps criminal trial in Manhattan were excused from the case on Thursday, demonstrating the continuing challenge of picking a jury to decide the fate of the polarizing former president.
The precise reason for the dismissal of one juror was not immediately clear, but prosecutors had raised concerns about the credibility of answers he gave to questions about himself. Asked outside the courthouse whether he believed he should have been dismissed, the man, who declined to give his name, replied: Nope.

(14,825 posts)He made 2 important omissions on his juror info form.
He didn't disclose a prior arrest to a direct question about prior arrests. He had been arrested for tearing down political ads. Conservative ads.
That's the kind of thing that could have a conviction tossed.
He also didn't disclose his wife is working with the Da's office on a case related to trump. Kind of important to disclose.
So best He is gone now.

Things as they are I hope they can keep people. There are those who will dig until identities are known. How crappy for the jury.
