Jury Selection: What Should You Ask?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

www.TrialTheater.com It's virtually impossible to "poison" a jury panel. Learn what questions you should ask during jury selection so that you get the most out of the voir dire process. Don't waste the jury's time or the judge's time asking inane questions -- learn why focusing on Attitudes, Beliefs, and Life Experiences will dramatically improve the quality of your jury selection.

    I filled out the questionnaire on the 2nd.letter I received simply because I felt I had to. I also notated in the back of the letter that jury duty should be a choice and not a demand among my disability

    I listened to a video once where a Lawyer said he never picks the scholar. He said given a choice between a Truck driver and somebody educated at Harvard he'll take the Truck driver everytime. He claimed most scholars have very little common sense or real world life experience outside of academia.

    Great info. After less than 24 hour notice I found myself defending myself in a speeding ticket juror case. The clerk had sent me an email and since I never check my emails I was blindsided. I was high with sleep deprivation and had no idea how to vet the jurors. I must say I held my own despite my inability to hold a thought. I figured the jury would have deliberated for one minute to find me guilty but they took 20 minutes. Had I seen this vid and been rested I bet I would have won. I just appealed and am pending a trial de novo. I'll be checking out your info for sure. Superb content!

    99% of the time, don't ever trust that a public deffender is going to actually work for you. He or she works for the system! He or she assigned to your case does not work for not you! (orruption in the American criminal court system is more common then most people would like to believe. I took a felony case to trial before and the judge in my case, ( -Judge- -Gail- -Z- -Bardach- )( -superior- -courtroom#6- -hamilton-county- IN ) she added a new charge to my case & she did this after both sides finished there final arguements! (((So final arguements had allready took place, the trial was over, all that was left, was for the judge to read jury instructions. Then obviously the jury exited the court room to deliberate & decide innocent or guilty.))) In the process of reading & explainning jury instructions to the jury for jury deliberation. She litterately took part of my defense that my lawyer used to prove my innocents and turnt it into a new charge. I started the trial facing 2 felonies & by the end of trial, just before the jury was to deliberate. I was facing three felonies. Every charge that someone faces in a criminal case. Each one has a cause# So how is the judge adding a new charge to my case during the jury trial not corruption. especially giving the timing of when she decided to add it. She added the new charge at the end. She added it at a time, when there was no chance for me & my lawer to defend my innocents against it, explainning my side of the situation. Her adding the new charge at anytime during the jury trial would have been criminal malpractice but the fact that she added a new charge to my case at the end of my trial proceeding. A new charge that had no cause# attached to it. WELL THATS CRIMINAL The inntensions of that act by the judge, even though probably not PREMEDITATED before the initial trial proceedings started. WAS CRIMINAL The intennsions were carefully thought out, it was criminal & unmoral. the intennsions were Purpossed & intended towards unjustly & wrongfully convicting a citizen. Her intennsions were purposed & intended towards taking away a innocent citizen's freedom & his right to a fair & unbiased trial hearing to prove his innocents. but speaking of PREMEDITATED I did find it odd that a bar tender from the very bar that called the law on me in the very case that I was fighting was selected to come in for possible jury duty on my case. 0utta around 330,000 residents of -hamiltoncounty- whats the odds of that happening? (American_Intermediary) I Thank God & I THANK MY PEERS, (((the citizens that were on my jury))) because they saw through the judges unjust behavior & her decision to try and trick the jurors. Ultimately finding me to be not guilty of all charges, even the one that she added in at the end of the trial. Thankyou also to my paid attorney Lawerence M. Hansen ! Without him & instead if I would have had to have had a public defender. I would have been forced to admit guilt to crimes that I didnt commit. Even though I was not guilty & was found to be not guilty by my peers in that court room sitting on the jury !!!! THIS IS CORRUPTION THAT HAS GOT TO BE EXPOSED TO THE PUBLIC ! IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED by the legal court system ! ( sealed & withheld from the public , TRANSCRIPTS of the jury trial proceedings ) This is an example of corruption that can be proven through evidence. Evidence thats being held and unlawfully seized from the publics view at the -Hamilton County- IN. Court House. ( sealed & withheld from the puclic , TRANSCRIPTS of the jury trial proceedings ) ( -judge- -gail- -z- -bardach- -superior- -courtroom#6- -HamiltonCounty- IN. ) She has recently retired from being a judge. this comment is off topic but just wanted to share it. ( -judge- -gail- -z- -bardach- -superior- -courtroom#6- -HamiltonCounty- IN. ) she has recently retired ( 7/1/2022 ) from being a judge. -judge- -gail- -z- -bardach- gave a interview to the The -Noblesville- -Times- on june 22 2022 This is a quote that she gave in that interview & I quote "Another thing that has been especially rewarding has been conducting jury trials, I love interacting with people & letting them see how the system really works. Jurors often tell me, after our trials, what a positive and educational experience their jury duty has been." End quote

    So this was the second video I watched pertaining to jury selection thus far. I have elected to defend myself in a misdemeanor battery fva and will be selecting jurors In a couple of weeks. I stopped halfway through to post this comment of " this is confirmation of my thought process about jury selection. I am thankful and much more confident that I will win my defense! I am truly a victim of a misunderstanding, thus my reason for self-defense. I thank you for this Information as a single parent showing his 9yr old daughter to always have courage, and belief in the systems in place. Innocent people serve time and pay fines because they are afraid of a system we/they put Into place. I won't be. I do believe that it is to protect us, however they do get it wrong sometimes and just need to be shown." Now back to the video - thank you - john c frady
