“Could any of the jurors sue Merchan to be allowed to hear this testimony?”
In a word, no.
That’s what I thought.
But what can jurors do to protect from being deceived by the judge? If I was a juror and decided based on what the judge allowed and then found out that the judge had hidden the important information from me, I’d be livid.
I’d feel used like a dirty condom. And I would want the judge to pay.
