The first three paragraphs
A woman who was selected to serve on the jury in former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York was excused Thursday after she expressed concerns about being identified publicly and questioned her ability to remain impartial.
The juror, a young woman who was chosen to serve on Tuesday, said she "definitely has concerns now" after friends and family asked her if she was a juror, based on reports in the media about those who have been selected.
"Aspects of my identity have already been out there in public. Yesterday alone, I had friends and family push things to me," she told the court on Thursday. "I don't think at this point that I can be fair and unbiased."

Edit
Honestly I think the best solution for something like this might to be to make the whole country the jury, and decide the trial by referendum. I mean that will make it super political but frankly that cat's been out of the bag from the beginning.
This situation is beyond insane. I think the only way Trump is forced to shut up is if he causes a serious injury or death and then a judge finally puts him in house arrest. Then he'll continue to cause more chaos unless a judge finally puts him in jail as pre-trial detention.
