The Importance of Jury Selection in the Trump Indictment

Jury selection isn't just the most important part of a trial, it's the whole ball game. The key concept here is called venue. In any federal case, prosecutors must charge in a federal geographic district where at least some of the alleged criminal activity occurred. A Southern Florida jury is mathematically likely to include five, six or more Trump voters. If you were Donald Trump, where would you rather face a jury? Washington, DC, where 95.6% of the populace voted against you in 2020,. or Florida, where you won in 2020 with 51.2%.
