NEW YORK: Terrorists, mafia bosses -- and Donald Trump. The common thread? When they go on trial, the jurors have such a tough task that they have to be kept anonymous for their own safety.

Being one of the 12 New Yorkers sitting in judgment on arguably the most controversial politician in modern US history -- a past president and strong contender to regain the White House this November -- was never going to be straightforward.This is a case 'that could well be important to who wins the presidency,' University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias said.

'Stressful' Two-thirds of Americans say serving on a jury is an important part of being a good citizen, according to the Pew Research Center, yet not everyone is enthusiastic. Around nine percent say they have lied to get out of jury service, a YouGov survey found.In the Trump trial, jurors face not only an unusually long time stuck in a dingy Manhattan courthouse but the fear of getting caught up in the Trump political pressure cooker -- or worse.'I'm sorry.
