All eyes are now on the jury of 12 Manhattanites who will deliver the verdict in Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial.
The jurors — five women and seven men — heard evidence in the historic case for five weeks and began deliberating Wednesday whether Trump is guilty of the 34 felony counts of falsifying business records lodged against him by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
They listened to X-rated testimony from porn star Stormy Daniels, who said that she once spanked the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee with a rolled up magazine, and are set to weigh whether Michael Cohen, Trump’s TikTok-obsessed fixer, was a credible witness.
The anonymous panelists delivered statements to the court during the three days of jury selection in April that provide insight into who they are.
Here’s what we know about each of them:
Juror 1
Juror 1 is the foreman.
He works in sales and lives in West Harlem.
He said he gets his news from The New York Times, Fox News and MSNBC.
He said he didn’t an “opinion at all” about Trump when asked by defense attorney Todd Blanche, and noted he has “heard” of some of the charges the former president faces in other criminal cases.
Juror 2
Juror 2 works in finance and lives with his wife in Hell’s Kitchen.
He likes hiking, music, going to concerts and enjoying life in the Big Apple.
The investment banker revealed that he follows Michael Cohen, the prosecution’s key witness, in addition to former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway on X and also follows Trump’s Truth Social posts.
When asked by Trump attorney Susan Necheles if he had any strong feelings about Trump, he said: “You know, I might not like some of his policies, but there has been some good for the United States, so it is ambivalent, it goes both ways.”
Juror 3
Juror 3 is a young lawyer who has lived in Chelsea for five years.
He said he likes to hike and run, and gathers news bits from the Times, the Wall Street Journal and Google — but doesn’t read too closely.
“I don’t really follow the news that closely, unfortunately. It’s a little embarrassing to say,” the man told Blanche.

Juror 4
Juror 4 is a veteran engineer who lives in the West Village.
He likes to spent time with his children and enjoys woodworking and metal working in his free time.
Like Trump, he echoed concerns about the courtroom’s cooler temperatures, at least in the beginning of the trial.
“I am freezing,” he told one of Trump’s attorneys during the jury selection process.
Juror 5
Juror 5 is a Harlem native who teaches middle school.
She described herself as a “creator at heart” when describing her passion for photography and doing photoshoots.
She told Blanche that she appreciated the way Trump “speaks his mind.”
“He stirs the pot. He speaks his mind. You can’t judge him because he speaks his mind,” she said.
She later added that Trump “just says it and that’s it. You can’t blame him for speaking. He says what he wants to say. I want to say something to people, but my mother said to be nice. So, that’s it.”
Juror 6
Juror 6 is a software engineer who lives in Chelsea with roommates.
She said she likes to dance, snowboard and watch TV in her spare time.
She said that she probably has “different beliefs” than Trump but that she doesn’t hold it against him.
“This is a free country,” she said. “We can think certain things and that’s fine. I think that I can look at this as a person on trial, any other American citizen, and not take this person who used to be the president as that and just stick to what’s being shown to me.”
Juror 7
Juror 7 is a civil litigator who lives on the Upper East Side.
He likes to read The Post and other news outlets like the Times, the Journal and the Washington Post.
He said he enjoys listening to podcasts like “SmartLess” and “Car Talk.”
Juror 8
Juror 8 is a retired wealth manager who also lives on the Upper East Side.
The Long Island native said he likes to enjoy the great outdoors — fly fishing and skiing — in addition to being one with his mind and body.
“Meditation and yoga every morning,” he said.
Juror 9
Juror 9 is a speech therapist who lives on the Upper East Side, too.
She said she doesn’t watch or follow any news “too closely” — although she had sharps words about Trump’s presidency.
“I do not agree with a lot of his politics and his decisions as a president, but I have really taken the past two days to reflect and make sure that I could leave that at the door and be a totally impartial juror, and I feel like I can,” she said.
Juror 10
Juror 10 works in commerce and lives in Murray Hill.
He said he likes to spend his time outdoors and with animals.
He listens to podcasts on behavioral psychology, and said that he didn’t have a strong opinion about Trump.
Juror 11
Juror 11 is a product development manager who lives in Upper Manhattan.
While she said she didn’t have strong opinions about Trump, she revealed that she wasn’t “[didn’t] like his persona, how he presents himself in public.”
The way he presents himself in public and I would want to think that is what he wants to portray going forward, he just seems very self, selfish and self serving, so I don’t really appreciate that in any public servant,” she said.
“So I don’t, I mean I don’t know him as a person, so I don’t know how he is in terms of his integrity or anything in his personal life. But how he is in public and how he himself portrays himself in public, it just seems to me it is not my cup of tea.”
Juror 12
Juror 12 is an Upper East Side resident and physical therapist who likes to run and play tennis.
She said that she likes to listen to podcasts focused on sports and faith.
