Judge Merchan Considers Jury Instructions With Two Questions

Judge Juan Manuel Merchan's courtroom at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York

Judge Juan Merchan is currently in the process of finalizing instructions for the jury in an ongoing case. He has indicated that he intends to ask the jury two specific questions as part of the process.

According to a district attorney's office attorney, the jury will be asked two separate questions. The first question will inquire whether jurors are unable to serve due to any conflicts they may have. The second question will focus on whether jurors believe they can serve in an impartial manner.

Merchan has described the questionnaire being used in this case as the most exhaustive one ever utilized by the court. He has stated that he does not plan to make any further changes to the questionnaire at this time.
