Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A white-majority jury was selected yesterday in the wrongful- death lawsuit against OJ Simpson after the judge rejected charges that plaintiffs targeted blacks for exclusion from the panel.
The clerk swore in a jury of eight whites, two blacks, one Hispanic and one man who is half-Asian and half-black. Two jurors said they considered Simpson probably guilty of murder, while the rest said they were unsure. The jury was selected after nearly a month of selection. AP - Santa Monica
