This is getting to me .. I can just imagine what the Judge and State is feeling
I don't think they have a feeling either way. Backstriking, especially in a DP case, is part of the process, and they all know that. Even the State has exercised their right to use theirs.
Honestly, the last thing the State wants is for the chance for anyone to claim there was bias on the Jury, so they're fine with the DT striking people.
