JB argued badly, but I think the man did lie, knowingly, especially about an interest in crime.
2
1 in and 1 out
judge said they will seat and swear 12 by TONIGHT... he will use the ??claudette?? or something like that method of jury selection where he seats 12 and then they can use back strikes if they want to and replace them one at a time...
they will be working tomorrow
Well it was certainly grandstanding at best. Probably the only Perry Mason moment he'll get. He could have just as easily asked if he was arrested in the past for DUI/DWI and gone from there. He didn't have to try to humiliate the man.
<Highly Unusual Person>!!
Can't help but think the DT shot themselves in the foot on this last potential juror. He stated he didn't consider what he did was a crime, more of a mistake. If I had a client who half my mitigation question dealt with age, maturity, impulse control, etc. I would have grabbed this juror up, bass fiddle and all!!
Don't they have to seat 20 and then pick 8 of those at random to be the alternates??

Yep. I loved it!I don't think SA wanted him either. GF gave a really good argument to force the DT's hand.

I'll consider the source.The lawyers are now saying they think this method is a possible appeal issue...the defense is not getting to see very many potential jurors...neither Jean or Sunny have never heard of anything like this before.
