Opening statements began in federal court in New York on Tuesday afternoon.
Nine New Yorkers have been assigned the task of deciding if former President Donald Trump attacked and raped advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in a department store bathroom in the 1990s, and if he committed defamation against her after she went public with the allegation.
The nine jurors, chosen from a pool of about 100, will be kept anonymous throughout the proceedings. Their identities will be unknown even to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan and the attorneys arguing the case. Each day they'll report to undisclosed locations where U.S. Marshals will meet them and drive them to the courthouse. They'll enter through a garage and be brought up to the courtroom on the 21st floor.
They were asked if their experiences with any of those issues could compromise their ability to be impartial. Very few potential jurors indicated they couldn't be fair, and none who did so were selected for the jury. Before potential jurors were brought in Tuesday, Kaplan instructed attorneys on both sides to advise their clients against making any statements"that might cause civil unrest." His instruction echoed similar ones given by a different judge on April 4, a block away in Manhattan Criminal Court, when Trump was arraigned on 34 state counts of felony falsification of business records counts unrelated to the Carroll case.
