Twelve Washington, D.C. residents have been selected out of a pool of dozens to serve as jurors on the highest-profile trial to date in the Justice Department's investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
– Twelve Washington, D.C.
Also under pressure as the trial got underway with jury selection was Washington, D.C.'s federal court, tasked with finding the newly-minted group of twelve jurors plus four alternates to sit as fair arbiters on the politically-charged trial that is set to last more than a month. Jurors were not required to hold neutral views about the attack or hold no prior knowledge of the militia group to be deemed qualified. Instead, the court pressed them on whether they could dispel any preconceived notions to maintain a neutral stance toward evidence presented at trial, a job some said they found too difficult given their views on either Trump, Jan. 6 or the defendants themselves.
And while the consensus among the group was that the events of Jan. 6 were"very disturbing," some said they had consumed little if any news that day and had no interest in the ensuing coverage. News, said one juror who was later excused, was"boring and for old people."
