I don’t get this. In most states both the prosecution and the defense have an equal right to dismiss jurors they don’t want to be part of the jury.

Each side has a certain number of strikes they can use through the selection process.

Why didnt he testify in court?

Because he is famous the world over for blatantly lying, and that works great at his rallies, but in court it damns him.

He hired very clever, very expensive lawyers - not fools - and they knew that if they had any chance of preventing him from being condemned by his sin, the last thing they want him to do in a court of law is open his mouth.

The defendant makes the decision, his lawyers cannot stop him/her and he is supposed to be told it is his/her choice. but I am sure he was heavily advised not too, yet I am surprised he did not, that would have been something.

But again I think you are right, I actually think he is self-aware enough to know he would not do well with an aggressive prosecutor and not be able to stay on script.

For a math guy, you know I am a little taken aback by your use of the word "sin" in this context of politics. :unsure:

You’re deflecting again. This is common knowledge and you’re just rephrasing what I said.

What she was implying is that in a New York city jury pool where 95% voted for Biden, it is likely that the defense will have far more perspective jurors to object to.
If 95% of perspective jurors are disfavorable in any jurisdiction, it's difficult to see how this is a jury of one's peers.

That is a certainty and a reality.

Glad someone understood the question!
