The judge was chosen at random, as are all judges in criminal proceedings. Sometimes you get a Merchan, sometimes you get a Cannon.

Merchan donated to Biden and democrat causes; haven't seen anything like that leveled at Cannon (who is rightly asking about proper handling of evidence).

Similarly, the jury was selected by using the same voir dire processes that attend all criminal trials. Both the prosecution and defense get a role in shaping the jury.

Sure, when you hold a trial in a district that hates a guy, you're guaranteed to get a jury pool that knows what to do.
