    Why do they write so many biographical details about the jurors? I don’t need to know that one of the jurors emigrated from another country and what his hobbies are, but it seems like bad people would be very interested in that.

    I genuinely wonder what legitimate newsgathering purpose Politico thinks it serves to go into so much detail, especially in a trial for a modern gangster who has threatened everyone and their mother. What is the steelman for this?
