JUST IN: Far-Left Judge Merchan Rejects Trump Demand to Recuse as Jury Selection Underway for ‘Hush Money’ Trial
The Gateway Pundit ^ | April 15, 2024 | Cristina Laila

The judge on Monday rejected Trump’s request to recuse himself as the former president appeared in court.

CNN reported:

Judge Juan Merchan denied the motion for recusal and says he won’t consider it again until the appellate court rules.

Merchan says it’s the opinion of the court that Trump is using a “series of inferences, innuendos and unsupported speculation” to make his claims for recusal.

Trump appeared to be looking straight ahead, at a screen, biting his bottom lip as the judge rejected the recusal motion.

I am not sure but I think there are rules about how many jury selection rejections are allowed by either side. I have only been called to jury duty once and I was rejected by the prosecution. Too educated and conservative military background was my guess as I thankfully left.

You are correct. Each side will get 10 peremptory rejections for jurors, and 2 for alternates. These are in addition to those dismissed by the judge for various reasons: stated inability to be fair, profession, etc. (I was dismissed as a juror for a case that was based on medical evidence because I am a doctor.)

I know that! These trials orchestrated by Dem’s are just like those Russian show trials of the 30’s. What has that got to do with the DoI? Trump is guilty already before proving his innocence which would not be accepted in any case (French law).
