Under Sheppard v. Maxwell (1966), the Supreme Court has long held that a defendant’s right to an impartial jury can be violated by extensive publicity about the case that creates a circus atmosphere.

This morning, the Biden campaign sent a delegation headed by famous actor Robert De Niro to stand across the street from the courthouse and rail against how Trump “doesn’t belong in my city,” how “he directs the mob to do his dirty work for him,” how he “wants to destroy not only the city but the country, and eventually he could destroy the world.” De Niro also claimed: “Elections. Forget about it. That’s over. That’s done. If he gets in. I can tell you right now. He will never leave. He will never leave. You know that. He will never leave.”

And De Niro didn’t just thunder against Trump, he explicitly said that the jury should convict: “The fact is whether he’s acquitted, whether it’s hung jury, he is guilty — and we all know it. I’ve never seen a guy get out of so many things, and we all know this. Everybody in the world knows this.”

This is a nationally known celebrity acting as a representative of the president of the United States, at the very site of the trial, on the day before the jury will begin to deliberate, declaring that “everybody in the world” knows that the defendant is guilty and that he has previously gotten out of too many things.
