How do these people sleep at night knowing all they do is lie all day long

What's gonna happen to the juriors who r caught lying to get on the jury ?

[karyannfontaine]

Very difficult to avoid anything about Trump on Social Media. The news, legal shows, opinions of other people cannot be avoided. I am sure there are people who could look at the facts and evidence of the case without bias. Trump's personality must be separate from his conduct. He should be judged fairly. I could be impartial, and I hope that those selected for the jury are as well.
