Estimating Trump's trial will last 6-8 weeks, do you think that so many jurors said they couldn't be unbiased so they didn't have to serve?

    Well, of course.  People say that to get out of most jurys.  (not that it always works)

    I remember being called for jury duty on an attempted murder case.  One of the prospective jurors being questioned said, "Let's face it, if the defendant had been home reading the Bible, none of us would be here."  Needless to say, she was excused. :)

    Well it might not last 6-8 weeks – it might only last until the courtroom sketch artist runs out of orange (stole that joke from a talk show host). Cheers!

    I'm sure they all just want a fair trial.

    If ever there was a case where it would be difficult to be unbiased...

    One of the jurors they accepted is a teacher who said she had no idea that there were three other cases against him.  This is the kind of juror the prosecution would love to have.
