Jury pool for first Capitol riot trial still stung by attack
CNN
The jury selection for the first January 6 trial has revealed how shaken Washington residents were watching Trump supporters attack the US Capitol last year -- and how that is making it impossible for some to serve on Capitol riot defendants' juries now.
"I live in this city. I wanted to know what happened," the first juror questioned on Monday said, describing how he followed news coverage after the attack.
The situation reveals how the insurrection affected people who live in the city, even if their personal routines were not disrupted that week. It also highlights one of the concerns that some of the more than 700 federal criminal defendants have about court proceedings taking place within view of the Capitol.
