2011.05.13 - Jury Selection DAY FIVE Afternoon Session

[nursebeeme]

DP phase HHJP:
(1019 answers)
he doesn't believe in the death penalty
no problem determining guilt of innocence
he cannot consider the death penalty
there is a circumstance that he could impose it
he doesn't know if he could use the law to consider it in this case
if I thought after hearing everything I could yes
could vote to recommend LWOP
he can follow the instructions the judge just read

 

[Woe.be.gone]

This guy sounds so low energy, he'd probably be asleep during the trial.

Did they state his age?

I think that it must be so hard to anticipate what you will or will not be able to do.

This is such a stressful event for a prospective juror....they should hand out drink coupons along with parking validation.

I consider myself to be logical, rational, and consistent in my beliefs...but this process would rattle even me.

 

[eaglemom]

I don't think he understood what the judge just read about aggravating and mitigating circumstances and the LWOP and the DP

 

[gmt]

Maybe its this jurors second attempt to not be a juror??? Maybe his hardship was not good enough.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Can anyone imagine AF with this guy?????? Gonna be a long long afternoon

Yeah I'm seriously going to have to go get lunch or something during that time. I really don't think I could handle listening to it.

Poor guy sounded very stressed, his voice raised and cracked when he finally answered after pressed about DP.

Previous Juror- draws long term disability but likes to kayak. Yep I think I question his honesty. IMO

In fairness - He said it was related to diabetes, not a physical limitation problem.

 

[eaglemom]

doesn't think he is the one to make the final decision about the DP - God makes final judgement

 

[Mendara]

Oh this juror needs to go.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

PJ: Believes God makes the final judgements, not him.

 

[luvmy4brats]

The state used their 1st strike on the last juror.

I thought the defense used their first strike.

 

[Eidetic]

Casey writing something down after juror said God is the one who makes the final judgement.

 

[nursebeeme]

ohhhh.. casey wants this guy... she just double underlined him

 

[Turnadot]

If that is all I heard, I would think she either did it or was covering for someone else, a boyfriend etc...

Yeah, but I'm a terrible person who immediately jumps to the worst conclusion when a mother doesn't report her baby missing.

I'm not being snide about the terrible person bit, and I appreciate there are softer hearts than mine, or people who are more objective in these types of cases, especially the latter.

 

[Woe.be.gone]

The time limits are only for the general voir dire questions.

Thanks. I forgot that JP starts the questioning off. :crazy:

 

[Leila]

2. We're on the 3rd. First was called back for another round. Second was released (defense used their strike).

Thanks! It sure doesn't look like there's been much progress made. At this rate, I can't see the trial beginning on Tuesday.

 

[2goldfish]

this fella is unsuitable IMO

 

[Mendara]

God makes the final judgement not me - juror

Camera on KC she circles his name on her sheet. (not kidding)

 

[QB.]

I'm sorry to be a pest but I can't watch except off and on - what number is this juror? And how many were accepted today as going on to next round?
Thanks
