“At a time when trust in institutions is at an all-time low, Americans still seem to have faith in their fellow citizens serving on juries,” the New York Times reports.
“Nearly 60 percent of Americans say they have at least a fair amount of trust in juries, according to a new survey — higher than for any other group in the judicial system.”
“But that trust may soon be put to the test, as former President Donald J. Trump appears to be headed for multiple trials in the coming year.”
“When asked specifically about Mr. Trump’s upcoming trials, a majority of Americans — Democrats, Republicans and independents — said they did not think the courts would be able to seat impartial jurors.”
