A teacher, a software engineer and a banker: These are the New Yorkers who hold Trump’s fate in their hands
A teacher, two lawyers and people working in finance are among the jurors tasked with hearing the first-ever criminal trial against a US president.
This week, a pivotal process was carried out in a courtroom in Manhattan to select the group of jurors in the so-called hush money case against Donald Trump, as he faces charges of falsifying business records to conceal payments to an adult film star ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
During the first four days of the historic trial in a New York City courtroom, the former president snapped awake from the defence table and craned his neck to get a good view of the jury box and the pool of New Yorkers who could ultimately convict him of a crime.
Mr Trump has repeatedly tried, and failed, to move the case out of the borough, where he baselessly smeared the borough as hopelessly biased against him.
