Wah wah wah. Fucking crybaby. How about not breaking the fucking law asshole?
Thought you were a right wing MAGA nut, but looking at your profile you don’t seem to be too fond of Drumpster either
I think you might have misinterpreted my comment
As per his own words, he’s a whiner cause he’ll do it till it wins. Unsure how well that works in criminal court though. I’m hoping we get to find out the court’s limits sooner than later
“I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ‘unlimited’ when we were picking our jury?” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
State law, a law that’s been around for over a hundred years, limits it to 10 strikes.
That’s what he gets for thinking again.
Trump always complains when he has to follow the rules. Doesn’t matter what the rule is, he always wants to be the exception.
It probably comes from the decades of experience he has in not having to follow the rules.
And he’s always been a lying manipulative piece of shit too.
Exemplifying that here - he actually does get unlimited strikes if there’s a legal reason that juror shouldn’t be there (e.g. if they say, “I’m not going to consider the evidence, I’ve already made up my mind.”) He’s only limited to 10 strikes without having a legal basis for them, but his followers are going to see Trump’s whining and walk away with the impression that his lawyers are forced to spend those 10 strikes on “I’ve already made up my mind” jurors.
Trump supporters already have the impression that all the potential jurors are out to get Trump, because their whole worldview necessitates a constant attitude of victimhood.
I’m not familiar with New York jury procedure, but I vaguely recall reading that – not specific to New York – typically there are unlimited “for cause” removals, and a finite number of “not for cause”. Like, you can object to someone who isn’t going to actually do a sane job as a juror.

Yeah.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_for_cause
Strike for cause (also referred to as challenge for cause or removal for cause) is a method of eliminating potential members from a jury panel in the United States.
During the jury selection process, after voir dire, opposing attorneys may request removal of any juror who does not appear capable of rendering a fair and impartial verdict, in either determining guilt or innocence and/or a suitable punishment.[1] An example would be a potential juror in a murder case, where the sentencing options include the death penalty and a lesser sentence (such as life without parole), who states that they “would sentence a defendant to death if found guilty”; such a statement may indicate the person’s unwillingness to fairly consider a life without parole sentence.
Unlike a peremptory challenge (the number of which are limited by the court during voir dire, and unless a Batson challenge is raised the challenge is automatically granted) there is no limit to the number of strikes for cause that attorneys on either side of a case can be granted. However, also unlike a peremptory challenge, a strike for cause must state a specific reason (in the example above, the reason would be the juror’s bias against a non-death penalty sentence) and be granted by the trial judge; often both attorneys and sometimes the judge will question the juror being challenged.
If one attorney moves to strike a juror for cause but the judge rejects the motion, the attorney may still use a peremptory challenge (if they have any remaining) to strike the juror, and on appeal may raise a claim that the motion should have been granted but, because it was not, the attorney had to either use a peremptory challenge or seat a biased juror.
You couldn’t pay me enough to be a juror for that trial. Sure, just paint a target on my back for this cult leader who’s backed by half the government!
Mine pays $4 for the first day, and $12 per subsequent day if the trial lasts longer than one day. Parking in the attached garage is $15 per day.
Lol they give you the money then take it right back. You would think the justice system would be more fair than that
No, only you have unlimited strikes when it comes to the law. You threaten another person 483 more times, and we might fine you $1000.
If you threaten the family members of a federal judge a few dozen more times we will slowly start to count down from 5.
I was pretty chuffed about that $1000 ask, but it turns out that that’s the maximum fine allowed for contempt of court in a criminal trial in New York.
Beyond that, there’s either exclusion from the courtroom (and no judge wants to exclude a defendant from the courtroom) or detention up to thirty days.
Oh, this isn’t The Onion, this is real news.
