HHJP: can you lay aside any opinions or impressions?
yes
HHJP: hesitation or reservation?
no
HHJP: sir when you came last week, I told you that this trial would preceed in two phases. ICA has entered a plea of not guilty. You must believe she is innocent. Do you have a problem with that?
No problem
HHJP: The burden of proof is on the state of Florida beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt.
No problem.
HHJP: Our constitution a defendant is not required to testify and you cannot hold it against the defendant.
No problem
HHJP: Your opinion regarding the DP. The cart before the horse. Do not read anything into what we are about to tell you.
okay.
HHJP: do you have any opinions regarding the DP?
Against it.
HHJP: Remember what I told you earlier. There is no problem of you not being in favor, the question is whether you can subordinate your views and use the law. I will ask a couple of questions, be as you have been, straight and candid. Would your view on the dp prevent you from finding ICA guilty if the evidence so warented? Because you might be concerned the DP would be imposed upon her.
no
HHJP: would you automatically vote against the DP, without regard to the evidence or the instructions I would give you in this case?
yes
HHJP: you could invision no situation where you would consider dp?
no
HHJP: Statement inquire.
no questions.
HHJP: step outside for a moment please. Excused. (over the objections of the defense)
