So look, this case and most high profile cases like this, you are going to get so much more information about these people than you typically do. So just to break it down for you, in a typical federal criminal case, jury selection is one day. Everything you're going to learn, you learn in one day, maybe two days. This case is very, very different.

This case is very, very different.

And most high profile cases like this are very different because everybody knows Diddy. Most of the people will have heard about this case. And so the judge is giving them two weeks to pick this jury. And there's going to be a lengthy written questionnaire given out. We haven't seen the questionnaire because I looked at the docket they have until April 11th to submit a joint questionnaire.

So we're going to see that just a few days from now. And then we'll be able to see what the questions are going to be. As a jury consultant, I love a written questionnaire. You don't get it all the time. You do get it in these high profile cases, but I love it because people are more honest.

So you're going to get, I think, a lot of honest answers in the written questionnaire, and you're going to have at least a week to go over those. And what's going to be happening in that week is that the lawyers, probably on both sides, are going to be investigating the potential jurors.

You have to. It's really, I mean, my view is it's malpractice if you don't do it. Because you have to know what these folks are posting on social media. Maybe they've already posted about this case. Maybe they've posted about other high profile criminal cases and expressed their opinions.

It's everything that you can do legally. So, I mean, nobody's nobody's going to set up a dummy profile and friend people on Facebook or Instagram or anything like that. Nobody does that. But whatever is out there publicly, you're going to look at.

I mean, there are all kinds of tools that you can use to scrape people's current social media, to get their prior social media, stuff that used to be on the internet that now may have been taken down. You want to look at their work history, their LinkedIn. You want to look to see if they have any financial issues. So you'll see tax liens, licenses. You can see voter registration.

I don't know how prominently that will feature in a case like this. Things will break down over party lines, you know, Democrat, Republican, ultra liberal, ultra conservative. But those are things that you're looking for. You know, have they donated to political candidates? That's all publicly available. Have they donated to PACs? All publicly available.

So those are all of the things that you're going to be looking for to put together. And it's incredible because they're going to be hundreds of jurors here, but you're going to put together a mini dossier on every single person.

And you're going to rank them. Do you want this person? Do you not want this person? And of course, there are some people who are going to write in their questionnaire, he's guilty. For sure, that's going to happen. And they'll be struck for cause.
