Don't worry. You're going to get a conviction this time around as this judge and jury were hand-picked for this purpose.

The judge was chosen at random, as are all judges in criminal proceedings. Sometimes you get a Merchan, sometimes you get a Cannon.

Similarly, the jury was selected by using the same voir dire processes that attend all criminal trials. Both the prosecution and defense get a role in shaping the jury.

None of this is specific to Trump. He's being treated like any other criminal defendant in the conduct of the trial.
