After questioning one juror, Judge Merchan admonished Trump: While the juror was "12 feet from your client," "your client was audibly" saying something in the direction of the juror.

He wasn't taking to the juror. He was talking to his attorney.No Spin Ag said:
For the attorneys on here, is it allowed for defendants to talk to jurors in this supposed manner, or in any manner, once the trial has begun?
No, unless the defendant is representing themselves and asking voir dire questions or making their opening/closing arguments.No Spin Ag said:

Whoa. Judge Merchan just kinda blew up on Trump, who he said was trying to intimidate a juror by muttering and gesturing at the juror who posted the Facebook video.

Everything Trump says or does is to either get in the news, or piss off the judge or DA because that is what keeps his diehard followers stirred up and what they expect him to do.
He should learn that there are times to remain quiet, but of course Trump is not capable of any kind of restraint.
Always funny how Trumpers think no rules, be they legal or simply rules of decorum, should apply to him.

Why not have the judge just go ahead and instruct 12 randomly selected jurors to find Trump guilty to save everybody the time, trouble, & $$$ of another show trial farce?
No. A very emphatic no. The only time to talk to the jurors is when you're addressing all of them at once during trial proceedings. Chatting with a juror on the side is grounds for pretty severe penalties.No Spin Ag said:

It continues to be old, tiring and Rachel Maddow-esque!
As with everything else in the case, this asshat judge is abusing the law in an effort to prevent Trump from talking about what an asshat judge this asshat is.Quote:
A "gag order" is the term for when a judge prohibits the attorneys, parties, or witnesses in a pending lawsuit or criminal prosecution from talking about the case to the public. However, a court will scrutinize any gag order under the right of free expression, protected by the First Amendment, and applies a heavy presumption against its constitutional validity, as with any prior restraint.
