In a shocking turn of events, a juror was dismissed from former President Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York and has spoken out about his experience. Herson Cabreras, an IT professional and political consultant, was removed from jury service after being empaneled for the trial.
Cabreras revealed that he felt like he was caught in a “competition” between the judge, prosecution, and defense during his time on the jury panel. Prosecutors reportedly brought up a 1991 incident involving Cabreras tearing down political campaign signs, which he claimed to hardly remember. Cabreras believed this incident was used as an excuse to remove him from the jury.
The dismissed juror expressed disappointment in Judge Juan Merchan for not intervening during the confrontation and allowing the prosecutors to use the 1991 incident to push him off the jury panel. During voir dire, Cabreras made a comment about Trump being “fascinating and mysterious,” but maintained that he could have been impartial in the case.
Despite feeling he could have remained fair and unbiased, Cabreras revealed that his family was not pleased with the situation. He also expressed concern for other potential jurors who may face similar treatment in the courtroom. The dismissal of Cabreras from the trial raises questions about the fairness of the jury selection process and the potential for bias in high-profile cases.
