But do you think that the State just slept through jury selection? I don't understand how they could have allowed such a jury to be seated, if it was obvious (which I did not think it was) that they were pro-defense all along.
THIS is one of the only things that I blame on Judge P. He was in such a darn hurry that he streamlined everything. When I used to work for my Dad there was no internet obviously. But I would be sent down to the voters records section and have to look up potential jurors and see what party they were registered to. I would have to run to the pay phone and call the asst. and read the ones I found. All the Repubs would be on the chopping block. LOL
But my point is that choosing a jury usually takes much longer because each team barters and uses strikes and builds up a group they like. That did not happen here at all.
