Today I had the pleasure of watching a jury selection for a trial in superior court. I watched as the judge indicated the importance of their civil duty as stated in the 6th amendment. The judge also questioned people whom said they could not be available for the trial due to a previous commitment. The prosecutor asked questions first that may have sounded crazy and irrelevant but in the end it all connected back to their eligibility to be a juror on the case. Then 3 jurors were dismissed and replaced in which the defense did practically the same thing.
Ms. Berrie says that she doesn’t even like to look at jurors or even walk in the same direction as them in order to prevent any mishaps as the jurors are forbidden from speaking to anyone about the case and definitely not to the defense. I cant wait to continue the trial tommorow.
