Former President Donald Trump's attorney Todd Blanche has raised concerns about potential jurors in the ongoing trial. Blanche mentioned that there are social media posts from some jurors that contradict the answers they have provided during the selection process.
While Blanche has not provided specific details about the content of these posts, he has expressed that they are concerning. On the other hand, prosecutors have stated that they do not have any challenges for cause for the potential jurors occupying seats 1 through 12.
Despite this, Blanche has decided to challenge the prospective juror in seat 1 for cause. He pointed out that Juror No. 1 has made several hostile Facebook posts, which he believes could impact their ability to be impartial in the case.
The issue of social media activity and its potential influence on jurors is a common concern in modern trials. Attorneys often scrutinize jurors' online presence to ensure a fair trial for their clients. In this instance, Blanche's decision to challenge a juror based on their social media posts highlights the evolving nature of legal proceedings in the digital age.
