How do you pick a jury for Donald Trump?

About this episode

How do you pick a jury of right-minded individuals to pass a fair verdict on Donald Trump?

His lawyers say it's impossible, that this trial is a witch hunt, that he's been gagged AND denied the chance to go to his son's graduation.

Meanwhile, the judge has just carried on. They're selecting a jury which will witness the first ever criminal trial of a former US president.

We talk to criminal defence attorney - and hardened New Yorker - Randy Scott Zelin about whether justice can be served in such a politicised atmosphere.

Later, what actually happened on the film set of RUST in October 2021, when Alec Baldwin accidentally shot dead the lead cinematographer. Today the armourer - responsible for weapons and ammunition on set - Hannah Guttierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months prison. We ask an armourer here how film set rules are followed - and what he thinks went wrong.
