One dismissed juror spoke to MSNBC’s Yasmin Vossoughian outside the courthouse following her exit from the case.
“Everyone was shocked, everyone was frozen,” said the woman, identified only by her first name, Kat. She recounted the moment she and fellow prospective jurors walked into the room and realized they’d been called for the Trump trial.
“We went into the courtroom and we saw Donald Trump … I was shocked, I was sitting in the second row, like 6 feet away,” she added.
Before showing up for jury duty, “I didn’t really [follow the case], I was too busy,” Kat said, but added that she just became a U.S. citizen in August and realized, “I feel the duty, I’m a citizen and I have responsibilities.”
Asked about how Trump looked in the courtroom, Kat said, “He looked less orange” than she was expecting.
She added, “He doesn’t look angry or — I think he looks bored, like he wants this to finish.”
