A #Scottish #neoNazi who amassed an #armoury at his home with which to launch an #attack on the #LGBTQ+ #community, is facing a lengthy #jail #sentence after being found #guilty of #terrorism charges.

The #jurors heard that 54-year-old #AlanEdward, held “a set of ideals with a #neoNazi #outlook, incorporating notions of #whitesupremacy, the notion of #racialpurity of #whites, #racism, #antisemitism, and #hatred of #homosexuals and #transgender #people.”

An #Arizona #GrandJury that indicted 18 #TrumpAllies this spring for their role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election had expressed interest in possible charges against #Trump, acc/to a #legal motion filed this wk.

It is unclear how many of the #jurors were in favor of indicting Trump, who by then had been federally charged for his attempts to subvert #Biden’s win. The interest prompted the AZ case’s lead prosecutor to give a PowerPoint & request that jurors not indict Trump.

Here is a relevant page from decision.
“Nonetheless, there is ample #evidence to justify continued concern for the #jurors. Therefore, the #protections set forth in this Court's #ProtectiveOrder of March 7, 2024, Regulating Disclosure of Juror Information will remain in effect until further order of this Court.”

Note:

“Nonetheless, there is ample #evidence to justify continued concern for the #jurors. Therefore, the #protections set forth in this Court's #ProtectiveOrder of March 7, 2024, Regulating Disclosure of Juror Information will remain in effect until further order of this Court.”

Prosecutors w/Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg's office said limits on Trump's speech about trial witnesses were no longer needed. But they urged Justice Juan #Merchan to keep in place restrictions on his comments about #jurors, #CourtStaff & individual #prosecutors, citing risks to their #safety.

“You had 12 #jurors come to a #unanimous conclusion, & the former president was #guilty of 34 #felonies, & that, that somehow is indication of weaponization when that was a #state prosecution that had nothing to do w/President #Biden or the Dept of #Justice,” Jeffries said. “The American people understand that we need more common sense & less chaos in Washington, DC.”

…Many #jurors said they had read or seen headlines about Hunter Biden’s #gun case over the yrs in local & natl news, but few said they delved into the details. One woman, selected as an alternate, said she first learned #HunterBiden was going to trial on Mon …on her drive over to the courthouse.

She told the court that many of her relatives are gun owners & that she has lost multiple friends to drug #addiction. “I feel it’s an everyday part of the world nowadays,” she said.

…The responses of dozens of prospective jurors to questions in open court reflected some of the most pervasive & divisive issues in American society, w/jurors discussing their views on #gun ownership & #mistrust of the #judicial process.

And in a trial where the #criminal defendant has been public about his struggles w/ drug #addiction, the #jurors told the court about similar battles fought by their parents, children & friends.

Judge Maryellen Noreika swore in 12 #jurors — + 4 alternates — to determine the #legal fate of #HunterBiden, who is on trial for 3 #felony #gun charges….

A substitute #teacher, a fmr #SecretService employee & multiple #GunOwners were among those chosen to report back to court Tues morning, when opening arguments are expected to begin.…Most were people of color, &…appeared to range from mid-20s to 70s.

#Trump supporters tried to #dox #jurors last week after his #conviction, & they also targeted #prosecutors & the #judge, Justice #Merchan, in the case w/ #threats. During the trial, the mother of a fmr police officer, #MichaelFanone, who was nearly killed on #Jan6, 2021, by *rioters* who believed Trump's lies about the #2020election was "#swatted" after her son called Trump "an authoritarian" w/ "a violence fetish."

The judge overseeing the #HunterBiden case is nearly done w/ #JurySelection, having narrowed the field down to 32 potential candidates, from which defense lawyers & prosecutors will use peremptory challenges to end up w/a dozen #jurors & 4 alternates. It is increasingly likely that jury selection, which began Monday morning, will finish by the afternoon.
