Orlando Buffalo Posted April 17 Posted April 17 I have twice been through voir dire and I was rejected both times based on my answer to a couple questions. I gave honest answers but in the one case it was clear the prosecutor wanted people who believed the guy was guilty because of almost exclusively testimony, where I need solid evidence
muppy Posted April 17 Posted April 17 I was dismissed by the defense attorney. It was a murder and attempted murder case. I would have been the last person seated The judge asked the jury pool if anyone had ever been a crime victim. I answered yes. They asked what the crime was. I told them. BOOTED. Biased and unable to be impartial. BALONEY. But the attorneys have split second to make snap judgments I get it. I didn't like it but I get it. 1
wnyguy Posted April 17 Posted April 17 The one trial I was on a jury was a malpractice case. I knew the plaintiff and the doctor being sued. I told them this during voir dire and they asked if my knowing both parties would cause me have an opinion before the evidence was presented. I said no and then they named me foreman. 1
