Full jury of 12 and six alternatives selected in Donald Trump hush money trial

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : Trump would almost certainly appeal against any conviction.
37% : Prosecutors say Trump obscured the true nature of the payments in internal records when his company reimbursed Cohen, who pleaded guilty to federal charges in 2018 and is expected to be a star witness for the prosecution.
35% : Trump has denied having a sexual encounter with Daniels, and his lawyers argue that the payments to Cohen were legitimate legal expenses.
28% : The case brought by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg accuses Trump of falsifying business records to suppress stories about his sex life emerging in the final days of the 2016 election.
24% : The hush money case is among four criminal prosecutions involving Trump as he vies to reclaim the White House, but it is possible that it will be the sole case to reach trial before November's presidential election.
23% : It centres on a 130,000-dollar (£105,000) payment that Trump's lawyer and personal fixer Michael Cohen made shortly before the 2016 election to porn actress Stormy Daniels to prevent her claims of a sexual encounter with Trump from becoming public in the race's final days.
23% : Trump, who faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, has denied any wrongdoing.
19% : Appeals and other legal wrangling have caused delays in cases charging Trump with plotting to overturn the 2020 election results and illegally hoarding classified documents.
12% : The trial will place Trump in a Manhattan courtroom for weeks, forcing him to juggle his dual role as criminal defendant and political candidate against the backdrop of his hotly contested race against President Joe Biden.
