Juror No 2 is a male non attorney investment banker. He is the only juror who picked Truth Social as a main news source. His other choice was X/Twitter. You would expect an investment banker to rely on the Wall Street Journal and/or the NY Times. There is some reason to expect that he may be a jury nullifier who will vote to acquit irrespective of mountains of evidence of guilt. I am wondering why the prosecutor did not use a preemptory challenge to keep him off the jury.
His only news sources are Truth Social and X and he is engaging positively with the defense - these are not great signs. Let's hope he takes his oath seriously and makes his decision based on the facts and the law.
Take a look at this analysis of the jurors. Chances are Juror 2 will acquit.

That someone whose sources of information were limited to X and Truth Social still voted to convict Trump is a welcomed lesson in civics.

There was a MAGA guy on the E Jean Carroll lawsuit, and that didn’t help the Donald.

Not necessarily. That is just one data point, not any sort of comprehensive analysis.
