Here’s what we know about the conclusion of this introductory part of the trial–and the last six jurors to be seated to make up the group of 12 (and one alternate), via the Hill:

An additional six New Yorkers have been selected to serve on Trump’s jury, bringing the total number to 12 primary jurors and one alternate.

“We have our jury,” Judge Juan Merchan said when the 12th juror was picked.

One primary juror is originally from Lebanon and retired.

Another lives on the Upper East Side and said while she does “have opinions,” she does “firmly believe I can be fair and impartial.”

A third was born in Ohio and works in e-commerce. The fourth is from California and just watches “late night news.” And the fifth is a physical therapist who listens to podcasts related to sports and faith.

The Hill‘s report added that “[t]he first of six alternate jurors was also selected. She is a woman who grew up in England and Hong Kong,” and five more will be chosen–possibly on Friday.

We’ll keep you posted on any developments in the case.
