DC juries need to be dismissed as biased for Federal cases. They are not representative of the US population.

[White 6]

Maybe in TN that is the case, it is not the case in other states or Federal Courts.

You have a given number of jurors in the available pool, you are limited to the number of challenges you can make without justifying them and after reaching that limit, the judge decides if your challenges are justified and when you get to the end of the available pool you're out of challenges and they will not empanel a whole new set of jurors for you to pick through.

In DC with a 90% plus Dem voting rate it would be impossible to find a completely unbiased jury in any case that is highly political no matter how large the jury pool.

Bull. Either side can strike a number for any reason or no reason and more can be struck for cause as allowed by the judge. Appeals can and are made pre-trial if there is a legitimate conflict endangering somebody's rights, unless the lawyer is an inexperience public defender over his head. Jury selection can last days, as we've seen. Your courts in Texas may be as Fkd up as your poorly regulated energy industry, but if so, that's the way you guys want it. It ain't the juries, dude it's the lawyers.


You and Eagle need to work it out.

You only get a limited number of "freebies" and you are then limited by the number of members in the pool.

You're also limited then afterwards by the judge who can either accept or deny your challenge.

Of course you're also limited by what information you glean from the questionnaires and direct questioning.
