What process is used to determine the 'final' 12 jurors from the remaining 16 potentials, (assuming there are still 16 at deliberation)? Does either the State or DT have ANY involvement in this process, and if so, can you describe it? e.g. can there be any further interviews or dialogue between the lawyers from either side and the jurors, specific to the decision of deciding the final 12, or eliminating eliminating any at that stage?
Thank you very much, and I apologize if this question has been asked previously, but I have searched and not found it.
