Did any jury member get through?

Has any jury member been selected?

1. Good question. The speed of our justice system it

will probably take six months to select a jury

[onenote]

2. It won't take anywhere near that amount of time.

[Emile]

3. Okay, how long will it take? Will it be done tomorrow?

Next week? How long does it normally take to seat a jury?

[onenote]

4. The judge has allocated two weeks for jury selection.

It's done in stages. No one was going to be selected today. First the judge will winnow out those who self-acknowledge there bias. Those that get past that stage answer a 7 page questionnaire and the judge may disqualify some of them based on their answers. Then the lawyers get to question them and they can challenge up to ten for no cause and can ask the judge to disqualify others for cause -- although one should keep in mind that those jurors already made it through the judge's assessment of their questionnaire answers.

5. Does anyone know what those questions are?

(Asking because I have a jury summons in the near future.)

10. You will not be asked most of these questions.

It is very rare jury questions are even written.

16. That Makes Sense

When I went through voir dire 4 years ago, it sure seemed half the questions were canned. Like they were used in every trial.
The others were pretty generic. But, they didn't feel like questions that would need a lot of prior consideration.
Admittedly, the case wasn't high profile like this one.

[Emile]

11. We'll see if it's done in two weeks.

[onenote]

13. Still doubt that it'll be done in two weeks?

[Emile]

14. Well today they have 12 jurors. Hopefully

they'll have 12 tomorrow. For the sake of justice, I want you to be right.

8. Given the track record so far

No matter what that judge says, if I had money, I would bet every cent that a year from now they are still fighting about seating a jury.

I hear you, "it doesn't work that way" I get it. I agree. Somehow that never seems to apply to Trump.

[onenote]

9. I have money and you couldn't be more wrong about the jury selection process

[onenote]

12. Apparently its a good thing that you didn't have the money to bet that the jury selection process would take a year.

[angrychair]

15. I was wrong

I based my assumptions on how things have worked for him in the past. I still don't see this trial going quickly. I hope it does but this guy has been getting away with stuff for decades so it's perfectly reasonable to doubt that will change.

7. If I was in that jury pool, I'd admit that I'm open to applying the death penalty

At least in this case. I dunno, do you think they'd consider that cause for dismissal?
