The public is getting a window into the often complicated American jury selection process as the court tries to select people that all sides agree can be fair.

But this case stands out from most. Law professor Andrew Ferguson, who has written a book on jury duty — said it is rare for jurors to be struck because lawyers discover additional information after they are sworn in. But in a case like this, where jury selection has stretched days, it makes sense that lawyers would take the extra time to investigate further.

And because this is Trump — as opposed to a less-famous criminal defendant — people have had years to form opinions and post publicly about him, so there is a lot of material to comb through.

The media exposure around the jurors, like the woman who was dismissed, is also unusual.

“We do not want jurors to feel external pressures that might sway them one way or the other,” Ferguson said in an email.
