A pity that this articulate and intelligent young woman will not be on the jury.

The fact that so many folks are commenting on how smart she seems reveals how stupid most of us are - she is speaking coherently, that's all.

Anyone associated with jury duty should be off limits to the media.

i love hearing the birds singing their hearts out. they have to be louder than the traffic

I hope that the chosen jurors are as articulate and thoughtful as this young woman is.

Not shocking that an intelligent woman was removed from the jury pool.

My grandfather served jury duty 35 times in 45 years. How he came to do it that many times is a real mystery. He did however take jury duty very seriously and tried to be as fair and impartial as possible. He would say he aimed to be the type of juror he would want if he ever found himself in the position of a defendant. That is an admirable trait as you only need to look at the comments section in social media to see how biased and hateful some people can be even on the most trivial subjects.

I was a reporter at the jury selection for Jeffery Dahmer in Milwaukee in 1992. It was a closed door session in the judge's chambers with just the attorneys, the judge, three reporters, and Dahmer himself, sitting in a corner of the small room. The dismissed jurors described it as creepy AF.

Thank you for letting her stumble and think and give us her real, unrehearsed, honest answers to your questions. That was real and appreciated.

She seems smart. It's too bad she won't be on the jury.

CNN should have done this interview in a location with more background noise.

If she is on CNN she was checked out to make sure only negative comments about Trump would come out of her.

That was an incredibly honest and informative interview. I’ve been listening to politicians and pundits for so long that I had almost forgotten what honesty sounded like on TV. Love this woman!!

I'm so impressed with the young lady being interviewed. Calm, articulate, thoughtful in her responses ... It gives me hope.

first impression is that she would have made a good and thoughtful juror.

Feelings of a citizen who telegraphed to the court that it would be inconvenient to do their duty. So brave.

just a dude ... as every defendant should be considered.

Real talk: I find this woman to be a better commentator than many of the older anchors on this network.

Why on earth would you stage an interview with so much vehicle noise in the background? It made it difficult for me to hear Ms. McGee's comments.

This has to be the most pointless interview ever filmed in human history. Great job CNN

the man who cheated on wife #1 with #2(who got pregnant while he was still married to #1) cheated on #2 with #3; and cheated on #3 with an adult star and a playboy model, enjoys the full support of the party of "family values"

Someone with a vocabulary. Too bad she was dismissed.

Nobody can miss THAT much Work, if paid Hourly......

I'm surprised they can find 9 people in NY that don't foam at the mouth at the mention of his name 😵‍💫

To Kara Magee's Mom: You did a good job...be proud

This young lady has an obvious level of comprehensive intelligence. 11 more like her and you've got yourself a jury worth having. Too bad she's not going to be one of the twelve.

So to sum it up she got dismissed because she said she might not have time to be a jury for that trial and could conflict with her work schedule. “SHOCKING”

thank you for asking the questions and letting her speak, this was interesting.

Very articulate young woman. It's a shame she can't serve on the jury.

She would have been a great juror.

She is so well spoken.

An articulate intelligent lady who gives the impression she has media experience, strong eye contact with the camera, easy manner and confidence. She could almost be a TV presenter

Very articulate. This is the kind of journalism I prefer to know about.

Thank you to CNN for letting Kara speak; others might have cut her off, trying to drive the convo. But she was worth hearing. Valuable interview.

how can a jury be Impartial when fox names them all out

I've always wanted to do jury duty because I would be the perfect juror. I'm an independent, a libertarian, a moderate, and frankly I really don't care what anybody has to say other than the facts and I can see many things that most people can't. However they never call me promptly because of that reason

She rocks! Perfect juror for either side.

This woman has her shit together. Rock on, sister

What a well spoken and perceptive woman!

I’ve been called for jury duty and they told us that work is not a valid excuse for dismissal. My guess is it was something else or something very specific about her job that excused her.

Can't blame her at all , but how can ppl take off 6 wks? That's a problem.

Congratulations on being too intelligent and aware of the world around you to be chosen for the jury.

What an intelligent, well-spoken person. A shame she’s not on the jury.

Shes talking like a normal person

She did the interview really well

I was once called for jury duty in a medical malpractice case. When they found out that I had a PhD in Biology and had taught college-level anatomy and physiology, neither side was interested in me and I was excused. That is the peculiar thing about our system of jurisprudence. It is not interested in coming to a just conclusion. It is only interested in winning and losing. If I had been the MD on trail, I would have wanted a PhD in Biology on the jury. But lawyers want a jury that will believe what the lawyers say without having the knowledge or judgement to assess their words independently. Lawyers want a jury of moldable clay.

Such a huge amount of time is gonna be so wasted in this court case that it will cause a huge burden for a normal working person to serve.

Darn, she actually comes across as very intelligent and would make an amazing juror

Well-spoken young woman.

Very impressive. She would have been a very respectful, well-spoken and intelligent juror.

When you are called for jury duty, the way you answer the questions sometimes gets you included when you thought for sure your answer would get you eliminated. It is a strange experience but important.

yep like everyone said, they got rid of her, so who did they keep? She's incredibly articulate and thoughtful...hmmm.

She is pretty darned good speaking to the camera, good vocabulary too. Not overwhelmed at all.

Obviously she gave a reason why she was dismissed but, intelligent, confident young woman would have been a hard no from the Mango Mussolini team.

Such an insightful articulate cool intelligent New York young lady. Love New Yorkers

Stop 🛑 bothering the jury

Of course they got rid of the intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, and genuine jury candidate from serving in that capacity.

I am amazed that CNN gave her the time for her thoughtful and intelligent response.

The crazy religion of politics.

She is articulate. Very intelligent. Wish she had been on the jury. It is extremely important that jurors who were dismissed speak out on this.

She should be part of the CNN team. She is more articulate then some anchors.

It sounds like this young lady would have made a great juror! Shes very well-spoken and seems very smart.

She knew all along.

She said "uhmmm" 67.3 times

Sounds like she would’ve made a good juror.

The super genuineness and the fact that this person is talking about the experience is oddly very comforting! I can’t imagine if I were called, and yeah, it’s fascinating to hear a first hand account of that experience.

Breathtaking and brave. I was especially moved by her retelling how she walked into the courtroom and knew it was the trump trial when she saw trump. 🙄🤦‍♂️

I don’t know what Kara Magee is doing for a job now, but I’d like to see her on the other side of the microphone. What a star performer. I imagine she could interview as well as she was interviewed. Maybe she works in media? So relaxed, coherent, and intelligent. She listened as well as she spoke.

There are ZERO non-biased jurors for this case.

TRUE STORY. I was dismissed as a juror for a murder trial. The defense attorney asked me if the fact that his client had "chosen the gang banger lifestyle" would influence my judgement. I said OH HELL YES and was shown the door.

Be careful! It's so scary!

Due to all the media hype for more than a year, it will be IMPOSSIBLE to find impartial people for the jury. But, that is why the media hyped it in the first place.

It's obvious from the way she talks that she is somewhat educated; Trump and his team do not want that.

A defendant has the right to a jury of one's peers, does that mean that the jury has to be crooks, assaulters, liars, etc?

Could you read more BS into someone glancing at you?

Yeah..figures they would dismiss her, she was a bit too articulate.

I was in the jury waiting pool for a couple of days, and almost every person seated around me was bitching and complaining about having to do jury duty, and what a burden it was. Then we were all marched into a courtroom, and questioned. The first question was "would you be pleased to be on this jury"?. For some reason (fear of authority?) every other person enthused wildly about how they were happy to be given such an opportunity. When it was my turn to answer, I said 'well no, I'd rather be at work." I was dismissed immediately. I thought that was kind've ironic, the process basically screened out the only person in the room who wasn't lying.

It’s refreshing to hear comments from an intelligent, thoughtful person about their experience.

She spoke very well.

This is ridiculous.

I love this chick: especially how she described Trump: "He is just a dude!" LOL!

Cool thing to experience. She is extremely well spoken. I appreciated the inside “look.”

Surely, this bright young woman, should be on the jury

"Oh, they HAD to get rid of her because she's intelligent"....I bet they all are intelligent, and you are insulting the ones who are not let go. There is a reason they dismissed her. Cmon, man

She had me at “gravitas”😅

"He's just a guy"....she wasn't star struck. I wish there'll be more of her on the jury.

WTF is the big deal? Here I thought there was a punchline as to why she was dismissed, what a waste of my time.

You are never dismissed from jury duty due to factors such as your job or ANY reason that may be an inconvenience to you. I’ve been called for jury duty twice in my 50 years, and in January of 2007 (my first time) there was one man in our jury pool who actually had court for his divorce in the courthouse that day. He was asked who his judge was and when he told the attorneys and the judge for our case, they said that they would get word to his judge and that his divorce hearing would be rescheduled ASAP because he was selected as a juror. There are an infinitesimal number of reasons that will get you excused from the jury pool, your job is NOT one of them. And just to clarify, there’s a common misconception that registering to vote, particularly when renewing your drivers license or non-driver I.D causes you to be more likely to be called for jury duty. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you have a registered vehicle, pay property taxes, pay income taxes, etc., you can be summoned for jury duty.

The only people that are gonna find for a jury are retired or unemployed.. who can take six weeks off of work to be on a jury??

Based on this question we can expect the jury to be a group of unemployed people?

She is very wishy, washy. I think it the court had good reason to dismiss her. Those two contrasting senses... omg. She is so insightful.

She is great. She gave a great sense of what the last days been like.

"You see him sitting there, and it's like 'Oh. It's just a guy.'" The most devastating burns are unintentional.

Just a dude is SO well said. This is how people should think of him.

CNN needed to give this Lady a job at the news station.. She articulated so clearly...

At least she can cash in on the situation. Get that money, girl!

Refreshing to listen to a literate, mature adult describe her encounter with the jury selection and Trump, not a single exaggeration or lie.

It is so nice to see normal people - in Europe we unfortunately start getting the feeling that there are so many crazies in the US….Particularly on one side of the aisle…

She spoke English and used hand gestures. So impressive!

I wouldn't like to spend any time in a room with that man. Lucky escape.
