The third day of the New York hush money trial against former President Donald Trump kicked off on Thursday with the dismissal of a juror who raised personal concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial, a moment that also sparked a journalistic ethics debate in court.
The woman, who was listed as Juror #2 out of a group of seven chosen on Tuesday, said she had concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial, adding that she was intimidated by the press. She also noted her friends, family, and colleagues questioned her identity as a juror.
