On Tuesday morning’s CNN News Central, anchor Rahel Solomon brought University of Miami professor of criminal law Scott Sundby on the show to discuss the selection process for “potential jurors” at the trial for former President Trump’s classified documents indictment. Despite Solomon’s disclaimer that the process was “not at the jury selection phase of any potential trial” yet, they engaged in a discussion of the importance of selecting jurors for the trial based on their “worldviews” and “where [they] get their news.”
Solomon opened the interview with a loaded question regarding the “types of questions” that lawyers involved in the case could ask “to try to figure out who would be a good potential juror.” Taking the bait, Sundby explains how the “worldviews” of the jurors can affect “how they are going to view the facts which they’re actually gonna hear at trial.”
