How Do You Select Jurors for a High-Profile Trial?
Jury selection in the Derek Chauvin trial hit a roadblock when news broke of a $27 million settlement in the George Floyd wrongful death lawsuit. Could this taint the jury?
And, last week, the New York State Assembly launched an impeachment investigation into the multiple allegations of sexual harassment against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. This announcement comes on the heels of the investigation launched by New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office. Preet and Anne discuss the potential challenges presented by the two concurrent investigations — and how they would approach the matter if they were in the investigators’ shoes.
Meanwhile, jury selection continues for the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer charged with killing George Floyd. Preet and Anne break down the charges against Chauvin and the challenges of selecting jurors for a high-profile trial.
