Could we be seeing the end of trial by jury? Higgins Judge weighs in

This week lawyers in New York are trying to pick the jury for Donald Trump’s trial.

On the first day more than 50 potential jurors were dismissed, with many saying they couldn’t be impartial.

In this episode of The Briefing we ask Chief Justice Lucy McCallum about the future of juries. Justice McCallum presided over the trial between Bruce Lehrmann and Brittany Higgins— that case ultimately had to be abandoned due to juror misconduct.
