Every jury has biases. One hopes to get a fair one. But in Trump's case he hasn't had one yet. You like that because you hate him. But I guarantee you wouldn't like to be tried by a jury of people from Ithaca College who hate Asian engineers from Cornell.

You want to presume that Trump is innocent even if he is found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of his peers.Because to you, a Manhattan jury is never to be trusted. I suspect you have no clue what a 'jury of your peers' used to be. There is no way the juries in Trumps' trials are unbiased. "Jury trials in early times were quite short," she says. "When jurors went back to deliberate, there were instances where they were kind of locked up without food or drink until they delivered a verdict." It was also common for jurors to know the defendants and the witnesses, which no longer is allowed. And most important, for a long time only white men could serve on juries. Seidman Diamond says the idea of a "jury of your peers" comes from the Magna Carta, but the phrase doesn't actually appear in the U.S. Constitution. Instead what we have is a right to "an impartial jury" drawn from the surrounding region.
