Alan Dershowitz, Harvard University Law School professor emeritus, told Newsmax on Friday that former President Donald Trump got "a bad jury" in his criminal trial in New York.
"This is a bad jury for Donald Trump," Dershowitz said on "Newsline." "I think it's too much of a New York Times, TikTok jury. ... This is maybe the best you can do with a New York jury pool, but it's not a good jury for Donald Trump." Dershowitz also commented on the judge's decision not to force prosecutors to release the names of their first three witnesses.
Judge Juan Merchan said in response to the decision, "I can't fault them for that," according to Newsweek."You have a right to prepare, and if I were Trump's lawyers as soon as the name of the first question is going forward, I would call for a recess" and ask for multiple days to prepare questions for cross-examination.
