Jury Selection Process and Questioning in a Criminal Trial
The jury selection process in a criminal trial involves a series of steps, starting with the completion of a questionnaire. The next crucial step is the 'voir dire' process, where lawyers interview potential jurors. The prosecution focuses on asking questions related to the case, like hypothetical scenarios to gauge the jurors' beliefs. In contrast, the defense concentrates on understanding potential jurors' opinions about the defendant. An interesting exchange occurred when a juror refused to disclose his opinion of Donald Trump, leading to his dismissal from the jury pool.
