Do they sound like the kind of person I could go out and get a coffee with? All of those things. And also, you know, the defendant, Diddy, has a right to hear people speak and look them in the eye and his life is on the line. And he has the right to be there and look at the people who are going to sit in judgment of him and make decisions for himself about how he feels about

about these people or somebody giving him a really bad vibe? What is he not like the way somebody kind of stared him down? And so there has to be a process when these people are going to be brought back in and they'll be asked questions like, you know, what do you do for work? What's your education? What neighborhood do you live in? Where did you grow up? What are the people in your household do?

Like, what is your spouse or significant other do? If your children are adults, what do they do? Have you ever served on a jury before? They might ask them, what TV shows do you watch? Where do you get your news? Which will be very important, I think, especially for the defense, because they'll be very in tune to which news outlets have been the most negative and ditty about this case.

Let's just say somebody mentions a news outlet and the defense says, wow, they've really bashed him relentlessly. Then they know they have to watch out because everything that that person has ingested is about the case has been super negative. So where you get your news and what news you watch is going to be incredibly important.

What websites you go to will be incredibly important, where you get your social media. And then they might just ask some things like, do you belong to any clubs or organizations? What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?

Questions like that, just so the parties can get kind of a better understanding about these folks so they can intelligently exercise their peremptory strikes. And then the very final part of the process is you exercise your strikes. Defense gets 10, prosecution gets six. You get one for every two alternates. So you're going to see 12 jurors.

And then I don't know how many alternates there are going to be, but let's just say there were only two alternates. Each side would get a strike.

I think so. I mean, I think things, you know, the other thing about federal court that's very different from state court, in state court, the lawyers... get to stand up and talk to the jurors and ask questions directly with very little input or interference from the judge. In federal court, it is totally different. The lawyers don't speak. And the judge does all of the questioning.

And occasionally the judge will allow the lawyers to ask a follow-up question where they'll go to sidebar and they'll ask a follow-up question. And I predict that there will be a lot of sidebars in this case where the jurors will be brought into a back room and questioned one by one. That's for a couple of reasons. One, You'll get more honest answers because the courtroom is going to be packed.

That's also unusual in your typical criminal case. There's nobody there. There's nobody there watching. But in this case, it's going to be packed. They're going to see the press outside when they show up for jury. Everybody's going to be hyper aware that everything they say is being highly scrutinized.
