Hey AZL
So since it has been shown that Juan prosecuted #17's ex-husband in the early 2000's for first degree murder (later pleaded down to assault) and appears to have failed to mention that she knew Juan and the early 2000 (she only mentioned a non violent charge that he was charged with after they separated) charge I have a couple of questions.
1. Is the question of whether or not the potential jurors know any of the players in the trial asked in such a way that it leaves a loophole. For instance, could the juror say she didn't know him personally or interact with him so she didn't really know him?
2. Is the question asked both in open court or on the questionnaire or just in open court?
3. How much digging do prosecutors typically do when information of that nature is revealed at the stage of jury selection? If the juror revealed that her ex husband was a felon and she says only after they separated would it have been logical for Juan to look him up himself and find the non disclosed charge? Or could the juror's willingness to talk about the other charges have made it seem to him that she was being honest and never occurred to him that he needed to dig deeper?
4. Is it possible that the question on the questionnaire also left a loophole, for instance, do you know anyone who has been charged for a crime in the last 10 years? Just curious how it's phrased in Arizona.
These are just things I'm wondering. Thank you AZL.
