Original Note:
Trump doesn't have a jury because he did not ask for a jury trial. However, even if he requested a jury trial, the case involves equitable relief for which a jury trial is not available (but requiting one would have allowed him to appeal the denial.) https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/04/politics/trump-new-york-case-no-jury/index.html https://fhnylaw.com/joining-legal-and-equitable-claims-waives-the-right-to-a-trial-by-jury/
