MSNBC
: Juror 2, the oncology nurse, has been excused from duty.

She had concerns about her identity becoming public and said friends and family have already inquired about whether she's a juror. The juror added that, given these outside influences, she was concerned about her ability to be fair and impartial.

UPDATE:
“Two jurors have been dismissed in Donald Trump’s hush money trial,” the AP reports.

“One was excused after expressing doubt about her ability to be fair and impartial. The other was dismissed after prosecutors raised questions about the accuracy of his answers during selection process.”

“The dismissals on Thursday bring down to five the number of jurors seated so far.”

The media needs to stop giving out details on jurors underpants Apr 18 #4

Everything the media is reporting is a matter of public record. brooklynite Apr 18 #7

Which is why the judge is ordering some information not to be included in the public record onenote Apr 18 #15

That doesn't mean it has to be broadcast underpants Apr 18 #42

Good luck with the media showing any self-restraint. Celerity Apr 18 #67

The media in this instance isn't just Fox News. Multiple entities have beenreporting the proceedings in detail. onenote Apr 18 #88

Yes I was concerned yesterday when identifying info was being released. Irish_Dem Apr 18 #12

Trump's attorneys know the names of the prospective jurors and those that are chosen. onenote Apr 18 #17

The jury doesn't trust the courts or Trump attorneys. Irish_Dem Apr 18 #18

Trump's attorneys do what Trump tells them to do. Irish_Dem Apr 18 #45

Yup. Think. Again. Apr 18 #47

None of them seem to care about their law license. Irish_Dem Apr 18 #48

If they are named public by the lawyers, then what? bluestarone Apr 18 #107

It was the prosecution that first raised concerns about jurors #4. onenote Apr 18 #89

I think the press was wildly irresponsible EleanorR Apr 18 #5

I doubt that the fact... Think. Again. Apr 18 #13

Very easy to figure out. Irish_Dem Apr 18 #16

Yup, if the media had only given the public information... Think. Again. Apr 18 #22

Agreed EleanorR Apr 18 #41

The media need a gag order, but both Trump and the media wnylib Apr 18 #85

And they would win that challenge. Which is why Merchan will not issue such an order. onenote Apr 18 #90

No way they will keep Identification of jurors private bluestarone Apr 18 #8

So far they have kept names private. If identifying them was their goal, why haven't they done so? onenote Apr 18 #91

We'll see! bluestarone Apr 18 #96

This is how Trump wins and our system of justice appears incapable of stopping him. jalan48 Apr 18 #9

Are they being too specific on occupation? bucolic_frolic Apr 18 #10

The judge has ordered that such information no longer be included in public record. onenote Apr 18 #19

The judge needs to be quicker on the uptake or someone is going to get killed. Irish_Dem Apr 18 #24

Should have only said she worked Rebl2 Apr 18 #37

No real reason to specify anything about them. Think. Again. Apr 18 #49

I agree Rebl2 Apr 18 #57

Absoluitely no reason to disclose their occupation, area where they live, none of it! NowsTheTime Apr 18 #105

Yes FloridaBlues Apr 18 #82

I pity these jurors. honest.abe Apr 18 #11

If you don't read social media (which the Judge will instruct them not to do) you won't know about the RW ranting. brooklynite Apr 18 #20

I doubt they're concerned about internet ranting... Think. Again. Apr 18 #25

You really think they wont be reading news and social media in their free time?? honest.abe Apr 18 #29

Not if they're following the Judge's orders. brooklynite Apr 18 #40

Assuming your are correct and they strictly follow judge's orders.. they will still hear about it. honest.abe Apr 18 #70

Trump's goal is to get everyone to resign. Irish_Dem Apr 18 #14

How do you disappear for 6 weeks and your friends and family not suspect mucifer Apr 18 #21

Well, there are quite a few juries happening at the same time in NYC. Think. Again. Apr 18 #28

Probably not so many that you could NEVER discuss after the trial ends. Consider the mucifer Apr 18 #30

Not juries that last as long as this one. former9thward Apr 18 #109

It's NYC. Think. Again. Apr 18 #111

So? former9thward Apr 18 #114

The Judge will need to fully gag Trump and keep media out of court room Mr.WeRP Apr 18 #35

NYC is full of Trump spies. SergeStorms Apr 18 #54

Absolutely! PortTack Apr 18 #55

The media isn't going to be kept out of the courtroom. onenote Apr 18 #83

Is this really the best our justice system can do to prosecute that SOAB? Doodley Apr 18 #51

Can you blame her? They're calling her the oncology nurse. Why not just juror number 2? padah513 Apr 18 #52

I wish they would not reveal Jurors' gender, approx age, occupation, nationality, etc. Talitha Apr 18 #53

Fox News helped expose this juror LetMyPeopleVote Apr 18 #61

Wow that is a huge amount of information. karynnj Apr 18 #84

Yes they did. But they weren't the first nor the only media entity to do so. onenote Apr 18 #94

Remember the weasel only needs moniss Apr 18 #65

The prosecution are not idiots orangecrush Apr 18 #76

I have no doubt whatsoever that moniss Apr 18 #78

So what is your solution? Not have a jury trial? onenote Apr 18 #95

Hardly. I'm just pointing out moniss Apr 18 #101

As is the case in every criminal trial. I thought that was universally understood. onenote Apr 18 #102

This is not your typical moniss Apr 18 #104

Employment status, past and present, to be redacted EleanorR Apr 18 #66

Time to publish the names of the assholes who get caught threatening jurors/court personnel. rubbersole Apr 18 #73

I'm in favor of this MustLoveBeagles Apr 18 #77

So criminals can intimidate judges, juries, and victims Bluethroughu Apr 18 #79

While i agree with others that the amount of information was too much, in this case, karynnj Apr 18 #80

This will continue until judge stops releasing MOMFUDSKI Apr 18 #81

None of the names have been made public. onenote Apr 18 #87

This is complete bullshiit. kacekwl Apr 18 #86

So the trial is "a joke"? Should the prosecution just dismiss the charges and call it a day? onenote Apr 18 #98

No, no kacekwl Apr 18 #123

Has there been an instance where the name of a juror has been disclosed to the public? onenote Apr 19 #124

There is no if. kacekwl Apr 19 #126

There is some danger being associated, in any way, in a mob trial. Chainfire Apr 18 #103
