The Fox News trial finally started. Here’s what happened on the first morning.
Dominion vs. Fox News
trial began one minute early, perhaps in recognition of Monday’s unexpected delay. At 8:59 a.m. on Tuesday, Judge Eric Davis entered courtroom 7E, which was packed to the brim with reporters, curious observers, and lawyers—lots of lawyers. By my count there are at least 49 lawyers on hand, with 10 lawyers on each side being lucky enough to sit in the cushioned, reclining seats on the “business” side of the courtroom, and the others crammed together in the gallery.
Davis was clearly directing his words to the dozens of media members amassed in the gallery—and he wasn’t finished. “You’re not to argue with a person with a badge. At all,” said the judge, noting that if a police officer or other security official “asks you to do something—either remove your hat or don’t put your feet up—you will obey them.
, who was told to remove his hat while in the courtroom on Monday. On Tuesday, it’s been off his head since he entered the building.Before the morning session had officially begun, the court’s media coordinator implored reporters to type on their laptops as quietly as possible, as the judge dislikes it when people type too loud. Around 9:30 a.m., Judge Davis reiterated that message. “The computer keyboards that people are typing on can be very loud,” Davis said.
The court spent about 30 minutes excusing potential jurors and bringing new ones in. No reasons were given for the strikes, which were announced by courtroom personnel, not the lawyers doing the striking. Occasionally, a juror was excused immediately after entering the room and taking their seat, requiring them to get right back up, squeeze back past the rest of the seated jurors, and exit.
