Numerous defense attorneys representing January 6 defendants are perplexed in discovering that potential jurors are being recalled or “recycled.”
On Sept. 5, a day after Labor Day, defense attorneys discovered their potential jury pool consisted of jurors who were excused the week before.
“I have never seen this in all my years of practicing law.” defense attorney Steven Metcalf fumed while exiting the federal courthouse after jury selection of Zachary Alam’s trial.”Are there any jurors left in DC? What is going on here?”
The Gateway Pundit sat as the lone observer in the courtroom for nearly the entire duration of Alam’s 8-day trial and spent hours talking with Metcalf about this peculiar jury selection.
Repeatedly throughout Alam’s jury selection, Metcalf asked each potential juror that he was allowed to vet whether they recognized anyone else in the room.
By day 2, dozens of the potential jurors answered in the affirmative, referencing other individuals they convened with at the federal courthouse just a week prior when they were struck down for jury duty in other J6 cases.
Metcalf’s line of questioning confirming jurors are being “recycled” became a running joke in the courtroom.
“Do recognize anyone in this room,” Metcalf a woman who was later seated on the jury.
“Yes, I saw some of the people here last week when I was called for jury selection in another case,” she replied.
Conspicuously, one potential juror after another took the stand with the same story.
As Metcalf spoke to the approximate twentieth potential juror who confirmed they were at jury selection the week prior for another J6 trial, Judge Dabney Friedrich visibly restrained from bursting into laughter.
Neither Friedrich, the Marshalls nor the prosecutors could keep a straight face.
Jury selection is a big mystery amongst a litany of shocking aberrations of the application of the law in J6 trials.
Getting called for jury duty is a simple luck of the draw. Many Americans go through their lives never being summoned or answering a jury duty summons. Few are called repeatedly and actually answer. But for some reason, many in Washington DC are reporting for jury duty for two different trials two weeks in a row.
A computer randomly picks prospective jurors from the jury pool during a “Detailed Randomization Procedure,” according to the Jury Selection Plan for the United States District Court For the District of Columbia.
The alleged random selection process makes it unlikely that someone will get summoned to serve twice, comparable to winning the lottery multiple times.
Once an individual reports for service, their name is pulled from the jury pool for at least the next 12 months, even if the individual does not get placed on a jury.

...no laughing matter....
Banana.
What’s going on?
A show trial like in the old Soviet Union.
Yep, stack the jury pool and you get the verdict you want no matter what. The defense can reject as many as they like, they’ll never find a juror who isn’t rabidly anti-Trump, because all the potential jurors were sifted by the DA beforehand.
Mistrial in the making
jurors “they” own...
On Jack Smith’s payroll???
Seems Pelosi is still in control.
Yup.
Here in NY the judge against Trump seems to willingly forget that banks have their own assessors, to have the position the judge is taking they have to in essence claim the bank assessors were accessories to a fraud.
Meaning they have to then go after the banks.
It’s insane.
All one has to do is look at what Mississippi’s AG Mike Moore did with the Winston County Jurors during the tobacco lawsuits. That appears to be the template for the D.C. juries.
A bunch
I have been called for jury duty 5 times and actually served on juries 3 times. The first couple of times I got postponements but they seemed to stopped giving those, at least where I live.
the dems only selected “the best” jurors for their planned outcomes.
““I have never seen this in all my years of practicing law.” defense attorney Steven Metcalf “”
It looks like Steve never argued a case in a prog “peoples court.”
.
“”Soon after coming to power in 1933, Nazi authorities began to stage show trials against forces deemed hostile to the regime...
“known as “People’s Courts,” were established after the trial of the alleged perpetrators of the Reichstag Fire””
“Unlike the courts that preceded them, People’s Court trials lacked a presumption of innocence, and defendants were restricted from consulting legal counsel.””
.
That sounds WAY too familiar with their J6 victumns not getting counsel and into an actual trial.
.
Once the bastards are run into a corner and caught it will not be Nuremburg, but it won’t be too far off...

Where I am from you can’t get called for jury duty more than once in a several year period. It makes no difference if you get rejected or not. You are exempt for several years after showing up. So this is confusing to me.
Don’t most of us know by now that if you cut the rattles off of any rattlesnake... the head of that snake is still filled with deadly venom?
To rid yourself of the danger of snakebite... you have to cut off the head, or join a radical pentecostal church...
Nancy and Obama sock puppet types are hiding in secret offices and enclaves all over DC and the country in the hidden halls of power. Their secrecy in general does not preclude us from the danger of their poisonous venom.
But seriously, there are lageer concentrations of snakes in DC than in most power centers of states and city governments.
ON all vipers, unless their venemous end is removed, they remain as poison as they ever were... just harder to find identify and defang... because their rattles, which would typically tell you where they are hiding and what they are doing... are no longer there in plain sight or within earshot of their intended victims.
It is clear now over 2/3 of the so called pubbies (house and senate) are deep state rattlers, with their rattles silenced almost always.
A juror should be able to read and write.
And this will go on and on until the gutless pubbies get off their @sses and go to war in order to stop this. Are there no honest pubbies?
Sounds like mistrial material to me.
