Full jury seated at Trump trial on third day of selection process

Source: CBS News

Twelve people have been selected to serve on the jury in former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York, filling out the panel on the third day of proceedings.

The selection process is ongoing, since six alternate jurors are needed before the trial can move to opening arguments. One alternate had been selected as of Thursday afternoon.

Two of the new members replaced others who were excused earlier in the day, including one woman who expressed concerns about being identified publicly and her ability to remain impartial.

The woman was chosen to serve as Juror #2 on Tuesday, but said she "definitely has concerns now" after friends and family asked her if she was a juror, based on media reports.

Detroit Lions new uniforms leaked: Honolulu Blue and silver, white, and black jerseys

Well, the Detroit Lions' new uniforms are here, but the arrival didn't have much luster thanks to a leak.

The Lions' new uniforms were originally scheduled to be released Thursday evening, but showed up online Thursday morning. The three Lions uniforms are Honolulu Blue and silver, white, and a black alternate with blue lettering.

The Lions last wore a black uniform in 2007.

The Lions were ready for a leak, however: Their social team posted a pre-recorded video minutes later with defensive tackle Alim McNeill.

Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday broadcast extensive biographical details about Juror No. 2 -- her neighborhood, occupation, education, marital and family status, and what industry her fiance works in.

He concluded by saying, "I'm not so sure about Juror No. 2."

He claimed last night that "undercover liberal activists" are trying to get on the jury -- comments Trump promoted.

That juror has now asked to be excused, saying people had asked her if she was a juror.
