Kim Kardashian summons jury in murder trial

Kim Kardashian has been selected as a potential juror in a murder trial.

The 42-year-old reality star was summoned for jury duty and visited the Van Nuys courthouse in California earlier this week as jury selection began in the trial of two men charged with a gang-related murder and she mingled with other potential participants . pending questioning by the prosecutor and defense attorneys.

Kardashian was escorted into court by a bodyguard who sat next to her, and a source told TMZ.com: “The other potential jurors weren’t particularly impressed…they treated her like one of them.”

The panel of 12 jurors and four alternates was agreed upon late Thursday, meaning the star was dismissed from service pending questioning, the outlet reported.

A film crew filming the Hulu family show Keeping Up with the Kardashians was stationed outside the building, but cameras were not allowed inside.

In recent years, Kim has been studying to become a lawyer, and in 2021, she passed the California first-year law student exam, known as the baby bar, on her third try.

This means Kardashian will be able to continue her studies and take the full bar exam in the future.

She previously explained her plan in an episode of her reality show, saying: “If you’re in law school like I am, it’s a four-year program instead of your typical three-year program. , you’ll have to take a baby bar. I heard this one is actually harder than the official bar.”

She hopes to one day open her own law firm and previously told the Wall Street Journal: “I hope one day I can open a law firm where we can help people for free and employ people who were formerly incarcerated. I don’t see me sailing on a yacht. I think I will always feel good when I work.”
